Canadian high growth companies and partners
embrace the opportunity
WALLDORF, Germany, March 21,
2023 /CNW/ - SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today
announced GROW with SAP, a new offering to help midsize customers
adopt cloud ERP that enables speed, predictability and continuous
innovation. GROW with SAP customers get the same best practices
powering the world's industry leaders, while benefiting from rapid
deployment and frictionless updates.
"SAP's ERP offering has long enabled end-to-end transparency
across the businesses for the world's leading companies. With GROW
with SAP, we're taking this to the next level for midsize companies
with a tailored offering that helps them grow their business," said
Christian Klein, CEO and Member of
the Executive Board of SAP SE. "GROW with SAP provides the agility
and innovation midsize companies need not just today, but for their
success in years to come."
For 50 years, SAP has been working hand in hand with customers
across every industry and using this expertise to benchmark and
define best-in-class, industry-specific processes. GROW with SAP
provides these preconfigured best practices that midsized companies
can immediately adopt. Embedded artificial intelligence (AI) and
automation capabilities mean customers see rapid results. The GROW
with SAP offering also brings together SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public
edition, with accelerated adoption services, a global community of
experts, and free learning resources, helping customers go live in
as little as four weeks.
Almost 70 per cent of SAP Canada's ERP customers are midsized
companies including Capstone Copper and STEMCELL
Technologies. "With the introduction of GROW with SAP we will
further enable Canadian high growth organizations to adopt
cloud ERP and innovate in new ways," said Gina Izumi, Senior Vice President, Growth
Markets, SAP Canada. "We are providing a platform for growth
that will allow midsize businesses to meet today's operational
priorities while laying a scalable foundation for their future
business needs."
GROW with SAP also includes SAP Business Technology Platform, so
customers can define their own processes in a cloud-native way
using SAP Build. With SAP Build solutions, business users can
create enterprise apps, automate processes, and design business
sites without writing code, an important asset for those closest to
the business who can create the solutions they need.
SAP Canada's partner ecosystem
will also engage with customers around GROW with SAP. Partners
such as Illumiti and NTT Data Business Solutions Inc share the
public cloud opportunity in Canada.
"SAP S/4HANA Cloud public edition will be a game changer for
midsized companies in Canada
because it delivers the same powerful functionality SAP is known
for at a cost competitive price. The public edition is largely
preconfigured and that reduces our implementation effort and
timeline. We've already had great success implementing public
edition in Europe and now have
projects in flight in Canada and
the U.S.," said Jamie Fryer,
Chief Revenue Office, Illumiti.
"Ask 100 customers what they need to move to the cloud and 90
per cent will say a predictable scope and timeframe," said
Jason Mausberg, Managing Director,
NTT Data Business Solutions Inc., Canada. "It's often fear of the unknown that
holds a company back from reaching its potential. We can help them
level-up by delivering a proven deployment process with a platform
that's cost effective and scalable."
IDC research shows that many midmarket businesses find
themselves growing rapidly and need their technology to grow with
their business as they encounter the same issues related to global
complexity as larger enterprise businesses.
"With GROW with SAP, SAP recognized they need to better fit the
business and technology requirements of midsize companies looking
for a cloud ERP solution," said IDC enterprise software group vice
president Mickey North
Rizza. "This offering reengages the market with a
refreshingly new opportunity to unlock the proven strength of SAP's
longtime understanding and leadership in the ERP space in the
cloud."
"When we develop a new product and we have it on SAP S/4HANA
Cloud, public edition, with one push of the button, everyone sees
the exact same prices, the localized naming, product data, sales
for today and the expected sales next week. SAP S/4HANA Cloud,
public edition, helps us get a complete picture of the stock,
capacity and the delivery times, ensuring a more efficient business
for RIHO and a better experience for our customers all over the
world," said Guy Claesen, CEO of
RIHO.
