Mid-sized companies today face the same global challenges as larger companies: complex supply chains, evolving customer demands, and the need to innovate quickly. Yet, many lack the resources or time for lengthy, customized ERP projects.
What is GROW with SAP?
Launched in March 2023, GROW with SAP is a cloud ERP designed specifically for mid-sized companies, built on SAP S/4HANA Cloud public edition. It combines enterprise-grade technology with faster, easier adoption.
The package includes:
- Preconfigured best practices to accelerate deployment
- SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) for extensions and integrations
- Embedded AI and automation to improve processes and decision-making
- Adoption services and training to support smooth onboarding
In short, GROW with SAP gives companies a powerful ERP foundation without the heavy customization or long implementation timelines typically associated with enterprise systems.
Why It Matters for Businesses
Unlike RISE with SAP, which focuses on large enterprises and complex private cloud deployments, GROW with SAP is built for new-to-cloud and net-new SAP customers.
Key benefits include:
- Speed: Deployment in weeks, not years
- Simplicity: Industry-standard processes ready to run
- Scalability: Ability to expand as the business grows
- Accessibility: Enterprise-grade tools available at a mid-market scale
This makes it ideal for organizations adopting ERP for the first time or moving away from fragmented systems like spreadsheets and standalone applications.
Who Is It For?
GROW with SAP is best suited for:
- Mid-sized companies with revenues under $1 billion
- Businesses seeking agility, especially those expanding into new markets or adjusting to fast-changing customer needs
- Organizations prioritizing cloud-first strategies but with limited resources for extensive IT customization
By offering a balance of speed, affordability, and innovation, GROW with SAP enables these companies to compete on a larger stage without overstretching their resources.
