Difference Between GROW With SAP and RISE With SAP

SAP Grow and SAP Rise are two cloud-based ERP solutions from SAP, but they cater to different types of businesses and offer varying levels of flexibility and customization. Here's a breakdown of their key differences:

Target size and business type: 📚

 

  • SAP Grow: Primarily aimed at medium-sized enterprises (MSEs) and smaller businesses with more standardized processes.
  • SAP Rise: Primarily aimed at larger enterprises with complex business needs and existing SAP installations, or new customers with complex cloud implementation requirements.

 

Deployment and configuration: 💽

 

  • SAP Grow: Offers a pre-configured, out-of-the-box solution based on SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition. It's faster and easier to implement with predefined scopes and limited customization options.
  • SAP Rise: Offers a highly flexible and customizable solution. It can be deployed on SAP S/4HANA Cloud (public edition, private edition, or hybrid) and allows for tailoring to specific business needs and integrations with other SAP and non-SAP applications.

 

Cost and predictability: 💰

 

  • SAP Grow: Offers transparent pricing with well-defined packages and a predictable cost structure. Easier to budget for and control costs.
  • SAP Rise: Requires more individualized pricing based on specific configuration and needs. Less predictable cost structure compared to Grow.

 

Time to launch: ⌛️

 

  • SAP Grow: Faster time to launch, achievable within weeks.
  • SAP Rise: Longer implementation time due to higher customization possibilities, typically taking months.
