In today’s business environment, digital transformation has become an inevitable trend for enterprise development. However, the implementation of traditional ERP systems often faces challenges such as long cycles, high costs, and high risks, which puts pressure on the rapid adaptability of enterprises. Enterprises urgently need a more flexible and efficient ERP solution to meet their digital transformation needs. Targeting high growth enterprises.
To this end, SAP has launched the GROW with SAP solution package for high growth enterprises in various industries. The package includes a range of SAP cloud product solutions, accelerated adoption services, community support, and learning resources, ensuring that different enterprises can quickly adopt ERP digital cores and easily access SAP’s industry best practices accumulated over 50 years, helping enterprises in various industries to innovate and grow. How can GROW with SAP solution package truly achieve agile delivery? During the implementation process, the GROW with SAP solution package adopts SAP’s core Activate methodology, providing a flexible and efficient implementation framework for enterprises to quickly respond to business changes, significantly improve delivery efficiency, and reduce implementation risks.
SAP Activate is a methodology developed based on years of project implementation experience for SAP ERP public cloud within the GROW with SAP solution package, specifically designed to support the deployment and operation of ERP systems in cloud environments. Its core lies in being agile delivery oriented, helping enterprises better manage time, quality, and resources, thereby significantly reducing implementation cycles. Through SAP Activate, enterprises can not only quickly adapt to changes in business needs, but also ensure high-quality deliverables during the implementation process.
SAP Activate consists of three key components: SAP best practices, delivery methodology, and adoption and extension toolkit. These elements are closely integrated to provide comprehensive support for the project team from planning to execution.
1.SAP best practices:including a large number of pre-set processes, template data, and testing scripts to help enterprises quickly enter the system demonstration and user training stages, accelerating project progress.
2.Delivery methodology:The six stage framework of SAP Activate provides systematic guidance for the project. Each stage has clear task guidelines and accelerators to ensure smooth project progress.
3.Adopt and expand the toolkit,including data migration, identity management, and user learning tools, to further optimize the user experience and operational efficiency during system implementation.
The combination of these tools and practices ensures the flexibility and scalability of the implementation of the GROW with SAP solution package.
The six stages of SAP Activate clearly depict each step from project initiation to final operation. The following is a brief introduction to each stage:
1.Discovery phase: Enable customers to experience the functionality of the GROW with SAP solution package, determine project scope, and develop an overall project plan.
2.Preparation stage:Project initiation, plan determination, and preparation of the “startup system” for initial configuration.
3.Exploration stage:Conduct “adaptation according to standard processes” analysis to ensure that system functionality meets business requirements, identify and record differences.
4.Implementation phase:Build the system environment through agile iteration, test and integrate business processes, and import customer data for testing.
5.Deployment phase:The production system is launched and switched to the new system, and the enterprise begins to run business operations in the new system.
6.Operation phase:The system is officially put into use, and customers adopt new functions according to their needs, and carry out system maintenance and upgrades.
The GROW with SAP solution package adopts SAP Activate agile delivery, which not only shortens project implementation time but also enables flexible response to changes in business requirements. The project team continuously adjusts and optimizes the system configuration through iterative delivery, ensuring that the final delivered system fully meets the operational needs of the enterprise. Meanwhile, agile methodology can better control project risks and ensure project quality.
A certain new energy enterprise adopted the agile delivery method of SAP Activate when implementing the GROW with SAP solution package. Through the best business practices and configuration tools provided by SAP ERP public cloud, the enterprise completed the system implementation in just two months and successfully achieved comprehensive digital management of business processes. After the system was launched, through real-time data analysis, enterprises were able to better optimize production and energy management, achieving significant benefits.
A certain equipment manufacturing enterprise is facing complex supply chain management and production scheduling problems in the process of expanding its business. Through the SAP Activate methodology, the enterprise quickly implemented the GROW with SAP solution package and continuously optimized the system implementation process to ensure that the system can adapt to the rapid expansion needs of the business. The agile delivery approach helps enterprises respond to market changes in a timely manner and significantly improves the responsiveness of the supply chain.
SAP Activate is not only a project implementation methodology, but also provides a foundation for continuous innovation for enterprises. Through regular system upgrades and feature expansions, enterprises can always stay at the forefront of technological development and maintain competitiveness. With the changing market environment, the GROW with SAP solution package and SAP Activate provide powerful technical support for enterprises, helping them seize the opportunities of digital transformation and achieve sustained growth.
