Technology Solutions

This includes SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and SAP BTP Build technologies.

Built-in Industry Best Practices

Built-in Industry Best Practices, backed by over 50 years of SAP expertise, offer ready-to-run, preconfigured processes that accelerate growth. With scope, documentation, videos, tutorials, test scripts, and data, they’re easy to extend and integrate to fit unique needs.

Adoption and Acceleration Services

Adoption and Acceleration Services help customers start fast with SAP Cloud ERP through SAP Activate, a proven methodology with tools like the Digital Discovery Assessment (DDA), Data Migration Cockpit, and Test Automation Suite.

GROW With SAP Methodology

The GROW with SAP methodology is designed to guide customers through the implementation and adoption of their SAP Cloud ERP (SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud) solution. Here are the phases:

Discover: The journey begins with understanding the alignment between your business needs and the SAP Cloud ERP offering. This phase centers around the Digital Discovery Assessment (DDA)- a free, quick, and structured evaluation used to assess fit, qualify opportunities, and pre-select scope items. Insights from SAP Signavio Process Insights help map current operations to SAP’s best-practice processes, laying the foundation for a well-scoped implementation.

Prepare: Building on insights from Discover, the Prepare phase focuses on readiness. Here, customers define the project scope, timeline, and team structure. Tools like the SAP for Me Portal centralize data access and self-service, while Central Business Configuration (CBC) is introduced to configure business processes based on DDA findings. The SAP Signavio Process Navigator supports in-depth process analysis by providing detailed documentation on industry-standard best practices, ensuring alignment from the outset.

Explore: With scope defined and foundational tools in place, the Explore phase dives into detailed configuration. Guided by the fit-to-standard methodology, customers adopt out-of-the-box best practices with minimal customization, accelerating time-to-value. CBC continues to play a central role, while packaged activation services, such as the Baseline Activation Service, offer a pre-configured environment within about four weeks. This ensures a quick start to hands-on exploration and helps bridge into the next phase.

Realize: Realize marks the core implementation phase. Here, the defined configurations are executed, and the solution takes shape. The Accelerate Methodology ensures efficient rollout. using tools like SAP Cloud ALM to manage implementation, operations, and maintenance centrally. Data migration is streamlined through the Data Migration Cockpit, while the Test Automation Suite offers over 300 pre-built test cases aligned with SAP best practices. The Baseline Activation Service further reinforces the setup, enabling a robust and scalable foundation.

Deploy: With the system built and tested, Deploy focuses on final preparations for go-live. Customers conduct comprehensive testing, training, and validation activities to ensure readiness. Leveraging SAP Cloud ALM and the fit-to-standard approach, deployment is fast and predictable. The methodology equips your teams with proven guidance and tools to go live confidently, minimizing disruption and ensuring a smooth transition into live operations.

Run: Once live, the organization enters the Run phase, operating day-to-day on SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition. This phase ensures Run: continuous uptime, compliance, and security, supported by a 99.9% SLA and ongoing updates. SAP Cloud ALM continues to play a critical role in managing the live environment. Customers benefit from embedded AI, a modern user experience, and built-in support services, allowing for adaptive, insight-driven operations.

Expand: As the business grows, so does the opportunity to scale with SAP. The Expand phase encourages continuous innovation and modular adoption. Organizations can extend processes, add new applications, or explore new markets using the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). This phase empowers businesses to scale sustainably, leveraging cloud capabilities to grow without complexity.

The Clean Core Strategy in GROW With SAP

GROW with SAP promotes a clean core by combining standard best practices, cloud extensibility, and continuous innovation. At its heart is SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, leveraging ready-to-run, preconfigured processes with a strict fit-to-standard, no-customization policy, enabling fast, reliable adoption.

Rather than modifying the core, a few customizations are met through SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). Extensions live outside the ERP, ensuring the core remains clean and upgrade-friendly. BTP tools like SAP Build Apps, Build Process Automation, and Developer Extensibility empower users to create apps, workflows, and custom logic without touching the ERP codebase.

This strategy delivers rapid implementation, seamless upgrades, and ongoing innovation. Businesses can scale efficiently, stay current with SAP’s latest features, and maintain a simplified IT landscape with a lower total cost of ownership.
