Differences between GROW with SAP and RISE with SAP

GROW with SAP follows a standard multi-tenant software-as-a-service (SaaS) model where SAP manages both software and infrastructure, unlike RISE with SAP which utilizes a single-tenant platform-as-a-service (PaaS) approach. The key difference between GROW with SAP and RISE with SAP lies in the Fit to Standard (F2S) versus Fit to Template (F2T) models.

GROW with SAP uses Fit to Standard (F2S), aligning business processes with predefined system functionalities and best practices to streamline implementation and maintenance. It is suitable for providing efficient and cost-effective ERP solutions for organizations looking to minimize extensive customization. On the other hand, RISE with SAP follows the Fit to Template (F2T) approach and allows for customization using industry-specific templates.

Implementation time: One of the biggest advantages of GROW with SAP is that it requires a very short implementation timeline ranging from 2 to 8 months. Because of the fit to template approach, and the fact that those moving to RISE with SAP are moving from an existing SAP ERP deployment, RISE with SAP deployments typically range between 6 months and 1.5 years.

Flexibility: GROW with SAP is the best option for companies that are willing to adapt to pre-defined configurations and are looking to leverage regular software and feature updates. Although it may offer less flexibility, GROW with SAP leads to standardized and clear processes.
RISE with SAP is intended for companies with existing SAP ERP deployments and where some customization and flexibility is required to meet the business needs. Although this can add complexity and may extend the deployment timeline, process pays off well with a much greater level of flexibility.

Whether an organization is adopting GROW with SAP or RISE with SAP, one of the most important steps is to identify a suitable system integrator (SI). A well-defined project plan with clear timelines has to be created in close consultation with the SI.  CNT Management Consulting, an SAP system integrator specializes in the efficient implementation of SAP’s cloud ERP solutions.
