We will see their confidence grow as we talk about preconfigured processes that incorporate best practices and how they can accelerate their innovation on a platform powered by development tools, templates and APIs.”

Beyond Technologies 

“SAP combined three of its strongest assets into a powerhouse program to help customers move to the cloud,” said Alain Dubois, partner, chief marketing & business development officer, Beyond Technologies. “Our customers can scale their business with SAP S/4HANA Cloud. They can innovate with SAP Business Technology Platform.

Cognitus Consulting

“I think GROW with SAP will be the tipping point for many businesses that are eager to change but have been waiting for a clear roadmap,” said Adam James, head of professional services practice, Cognitus Consulting. “And when you add the tools and methodologies, activation services and community support, moving to the cloud becomes irresistible.”

Delaware

“Businesses know that there are significant benefits from a move to the cloud, but uncertainty holds them back,” says Filip Decostere, partner, Delaware. “GROW with SAP shows customers we can meet their budget and business needs. When they see the components and services clearly mapped out, moving to the cloud will no longer feel like such a scary leap, but a controlled, step-by-step process. It’s the assurance that they’re in good hands that makes all the difference.”

NTT DATA Business Solutions

“Ask 100 customers what they need to move to the cloud,” said Jason Mausberg, managing director, NTT DATA Business Solutions Inc., Canada, “and 90% will say, ‘A predictable scope and timeframe.’ It’s often fear of the unknown that holds a company back from reaching its potential. We can help them level-up by delivering a proven deployment process with a platform that’s cost effective and scalable.”
