Click here to learn (only accessible by partners) about the entry criteria and the benefits you will receive once you join the GROW with SAP party.

Whether you are already an established GROW partner or just starting, SAP has plenty of support that will help you become an expert in selling and positioning Public Cloud to midmarket customers. To help you access pertinent information, a 5 step Industry Partner Journey (only accessible by partners) was created, which serves as a resource to all the relevant materials related to S/4HANA Public Cloud by industry.

The journey brings together all of the assets for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and the relevant industry into one handy guide, whether you are just starting out (phase 1), are already established within an industry and looking to expand your reach (phase 5), or you are somewhere in the middle. It is there to give you a structured approach to access everything you need to become an expert partner in your chosen industry:


5-Step-Partner Industry Journey


The following industries are already part of the journey which means we have industry-focused enablement available for:

  • Automotive,

  • Chemicals,

  • Consumer Products,

  • EC&O,

  • Higher Education & Research,

  • Industrial Manufacturing,

  • Media,

  • Mill Products & Mining,

If you are interested in being guided through your respective journey, or if you have any questions left, please contact the relevant colleagues from the Partner Ecosystem team mentioned on the last slide of the 5-Step journey.

Always have the goal in mind to navigate all the way through to step number 5, which in the end will prepare you to become even an official GROW with SAP partner. Why is that: because some of the criteria you will be faced with along the way through the journey are in parallel also entry criteria for the GROW program (for example: the certified consultants, account lists, the QPPS – Qualified Partner Packages Solutions (only accessible by partners), …). And on top of everything – you speak the industry language which in the end of each sales cycle can make a difference.

And by the way: Don’t miss the chance to register for the SAP Partner Summits for SME 2024 – the must-attend event for partners who focus on selling to small and midsized businesses.  As a sponsor you will even have the chance to showcase the innovative ways your organization is contributing to the SAP Ecosystem (=Packaged solution – step 5). Your organization’s name will be incorporated into breakout sessions, panel discussions, event signage, the Solution Fair, and more.
