Maximizing the Value of SAP CX with RISE with SAP or GROW with SAP

The Two Transformation Paths: RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP

Recognizing the immense benefits of cloud technology - including scalability, cost-efficiency, and innovation acceleration - enterprises still have apprehensions about migrating ERP systems to the cloud. The challenge is to create a risk-managed, customized cloud adoption plan tailored to specific organizational needs.

SAP acknowledges this diversity and offers a spectrum of modular cloud solutions through two distinct transformation paths: RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP. This modular approach allows for a scalable, adaptable Cloud ERP system that evolves in step with each business.

Starting with the basics, RISE with SAP is a bundled offering that helps organizations transition to the cloud quickly while gradually transforming their existing processes. GROW with SAP provides a high degree of automation and standardized processes that are out of the box and lets organizations focus entirely lets organizations entirely concentrate on business growth.

The main differentiating factors are the business processes an organization wishes to run, the degree of disruptiveness, the desired speed of innovation, and the cloud services they encompass.

Selecting the ideal transformation journey bundle is more than fitting customers into predefined categories. It's an exercise in understanding each customer's unique landscape and the goals of each business. Long-term SAP on-premise customers tend to prefer the more gradual approach offered by RISE. The aim is to partner with customers, providing a tailored path that aligns with their current state and paves the way for their future aspirations.

Thus, SAPs' offerings are not merely two divergent paths but are part of a flexible strategy, deeply rooted in a nuanced understanding of each customer's specific situation, ambitions, and challenges. It's this understanding that forms the foundation for developing tailored customer use cases, applying industry and process best practices to guide the cloud transformation journey.

• FASTER TIME TO VALUE: Automate & Digitize Low-Value Tasks while personalizing 1:1 engagements. The duration required for a customer to realize the full benefits of a product or service is shorter cause all tasks that do not require human intelligence and judgment can be automated, saving time and reducing errors.
