Quick answers to common questions about GROW with SAP

What is GROW with SAP and what are its benefits?

GROW with SAP is an official SAP program designed to simplify and accelerate a small or mid-size company’s move to a cloud ERP solution. It provides a rapid, pre-configured pathway to the SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition, emphasizing speed, simplicity, and continuous innovation. K2 Partnering Solutions provides deep expertise to support SMEs on the GROW with SAP program, ensuring rapid project completion and maximizing the return on their SAP transformation investment.

Why do companies need support to implement GROW with SAP solutions?

Companies need support because complex tasks like cloud migration can be overwhelming, especially when addressing legacy technical debt and ensuring smooth operational continuity. Expert partners are crucial for tasks such as cleaning the IT core, confirming data readiness, and managing organizational change for friction-free user adoption. Implementation risk and complexity are dramatically reduced when the migration is conducted through K2’s proprietary and proven S-Imple delivery framework.

GROW with SAP is best suited for mid-sized or fast-growing companies that are either new to SAP or seek a highly standardized ERP environment with rapid time-to-value. The program caters to organizations that are willing to adopt SAP Best Practices and prioritize business model standardization over complex customizations. With over 28 years of history delivering innovative solutions, K2 Partnering Solutions leverages this experience to tailor support for the unique goals of SME clients.
The licensing model for the GROW with SAP program is a simple, subscription-based (SaaS) model with a predictable, all-inclusive fee. This subscription is based on Full User Equivalents (FUE) and includes the SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud software, the underlying infrastructure, and essential BTP credits. This structure provides cost certainty and simplifies budget planning for business innovation and growth.
One solution is not inherently better than the other, as the choice depends on a company’s complexity, size, and required level of customization. GROW with SAP is specifically for mid-size businesses prioritizing standardization and rapid deployment on the Public Cloud, whereas RISE with SAP supports both the Public and Private Cloud options for large enterprises needing greater flexibility and control. K2 Partnering Solutions offers the implementation expertise and strategic advisory services required to successfully deliver projects for both the GROW and RISE with SAP journeys.
The ERP solution that is the core of the GROW with SAP offering is the SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition. This version is a standardized, multi-tenant Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution focused on pre-configured best practices and immediate scalability. The exclusive use of the Public Edition is key to achieving the program’s promised speed and minimal disruption.
Yes, GROW with SAP is a suitable option for a business running on SAP ECC, provided the company is ready to undergo a full business transformation via a Greenfield implementation. This path is ideal for users looking to retire legacy complexity and technical debt by adopting a standardized, “clean core” S/4HANA system. Success hinges on performing thorough preparation, cleansing, and reduction of the existing data footprint prior to the cloud migration.
A typical GROW with SAP implementation for the core S/4HANA deployment is designed for speed and can be completed in approximately 6 to 12 weeks to reach go-live. This rapid timeline is achieved due to the standardized nature of the S/4HANA Public Cloud Edition and the focus on accelerating business value. For planning, the initial K2 strategic SAP GROW Assessment typically runs for a quick, focused period of 2 to 4 weeks.
