Cloud ERP for growing companies and subsidiaries
SAP GROW: SAP Cloud ERP
As a company grows, its systems often fall behind: data spread across separate software and spreadsheets, slow month-end closing, and every new subsidiary or branch set up from scratch. TDI APJ is an SAP partner that implements SAP Cloud ERP (SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition) through SAP GROW (formerly GROW with SAP) in Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
- Start from SAP best-practice processes for finance, sales, purchasing and supply chain, with fewer custom changes
- Extend through SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), keeping the core system clean
- Get SAP updates twice a year, with no upgrade project to plan
- Run subsidiaries on SAP Cloud ERP while the parent company uses SAP Cloud ERP Private or SAP S/4HANA (two-tier ERP), working with the TDI Group in Japan. SAP runs the system; TDI APJ handles implementation and support after go-live.
- Work with a team that has delivered 300+ SAP projects in 15+ countries
Why Companies Delay ERP and How SAP GROW Changes That
Many growing companies know they need ERP but hold back because of cost, project length or a small IT team. SAP GROW removes most of these barriers. The trade-off is that your processes need to fit SAP standard. TDI APJ works in four steps: fit-to-standard workshops to check that fit, build and data migration, go-live, and support after go-live.
Common Barriers to Starting ERP
These are the reasons we hear most often from growing companies and subsidiaries that still run on separate software and spreadsheets.
- High upfront cost for licenses, servers and setup
- Long projects that take key staff away from daily work
- A small IT team that cannot run servers, security and upgrades
- Worry that heavy customization will make future upgrades hard
How SAP GROW Addresses Them
SAP GROW is built on the public edition of SAP Cloud ERP. Companies that need more room to change the system can choose SAP Cloud ERP Private through RISE with SAP.
- Subscription pricing, with no servers to buy
- Ready-made SAP best practices, so the project starts from working processes
- SAP runs the system, security and upgrades
- Extensions sit outside the core on SAP BTP, so upgrades are not blocked
What Changes with SAP Cloud ERP?
Real-time Reporting
Figures update as transactions happen, so daily and month-end reports come from one source.
AI Built In
Joule, SAP’s AI copilot, is built in. TDI AI Studio can build extra AI applications around your own business, using your SAP data.
One System
Finance, sales, purchasing, production and supply chain share one database, with no re-entering data between systems.
Always Up to Date
SAP updates the system twice a year, so new features and fixes arrive without an upgrade project.
Less IT Burden
SAP runs the infrastructure, system operations and upgrades, so your IT team does not need to manage servers, patches or upgrade projects.
Faster Start
SAP best practices give you ready-made processes to start from, so the project focuses on fitting your business to standard instead of building from scratch.
What Is SAP GROW?
SAP GROW (formerly GROW with SAP) is SAP’s package for companies that want to adopt cloud ERP quickly. It brings together SAP Cloud ERP (public edition), ready-made best-practice processes, SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) for extensions, and SAP’s adoption services, learning and community. As the implementation partner, TDI APJ fits these to your business and supports you after go-live.
