Summary
This table is not an exhaustive list; it’s an April 2023 status, highly prone to changes, aimed to show the differentiation of the three offerings to give customers an overview of the situation.
While both RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP are programs designed to onboard customers around the usage of S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition, both offerings are built on top of the solution SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, where
- RISE with SAP is more tailored, highly flexible, and oriented to give customers a complete solution using cloud services from SAP, targeting the existing SAP customer base running on other SAP solutions or Net New Names with large or complex requirements.
- GROW with SAP is aimed to be leaner, more straightforward, and more predictable, with well-structured SKUs included to onboard customers and get them live in just a few weeks with a controlled budget and deliverables targeted for Mid-Size companies and Net New Names.
Rise with SAP Public Edition can be part of the hybrid deployment or 2-Tier for Large Enterprise use cases like Subsidiaries, Divesture, Acquisition, New Incubation, etc.
GROW with SAP plans to evolve this 2023 to accommodate more options for partners to offer the complete service for customers.

cool stuff - thanks mario. helps much to sort the offerings cordingly. very helpful. good job. best martin
Hi Mario,
thx for the blog.
What do you mean mit the row "info"? It can be interpreted that those are solutions within the actual content of SAP's offer for GROW and RISE. This is misleading:
Both "GROW with SAP" and "RISE with SAP" have the same content for the Public edition:
Neither Signavio, AIN, Ariba, BPI is part of the base/premium public edition. also not in the RISE Public editions.
Base: The content on top of S/4HANA public cloud is BTP CPEA, BTP Build (Process automation, Work Zone), Digital access and the Finance Freemium Group reporting.
premium: Base + BTP "Build Apps" and 3 more Finance Freemiums (Adv. closing, Cash Mgmt, Receivables Mgmt)
If you have access to the partner portal, see there for an actual update: https://partneredge.sap.com/en/library/education/partnership/sales/e_ep_pricing_update_2023_02.html
Also the target group is a little different. RISE is not only for Large Enterprises but has also benefits for the Midmarket.
If you update your blog, then you can reformat the table as well so it better readable.
Thx for your effort! Jan
Hi Jan
Thank you for your comments!
I fixed the columns, which were pretty terrible on my CSS formatting. I hope its more clear now.
SAP RISE includes SAP Business Network Starter pack with Ariba Network up to 2000 documents, in both private and public.
Also, there is a common misunderstanding that Signavio is only for existing ECC customers moving to S/4HANA on-prem. However, check out the SAP Business Process Intelligence Starter Pack, including Signavio, Process Manager, and Process Collaboration.
The target is not only Large Enterprise for RISE; this is not exclusive information and is subject to change at any time by SAP. Of course, customers would like to understand the primary objective of the offering addresses, but this is also what the word "target" means in terms of Direction, not "exclusive offering for."
Hi Mario,
thx for updating the Table. Better now :-).
The Content of the RISE Packages have changed this year. You rever to the old retired packages. The new packages are redesigned, have new SKU Numbers and other RISE entitlements. AIN, LBN and Ariba is not contained anymore. Contact an SAP Sales for an update.
Best, Jan
