Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), and SAP announced GROW with SAP on AWS, which will allow customers of all sizes to rapidly deploy SAP’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution while leveraging the reliability, security, and scalability of the world’s most broadly adopted cloud.
According to the vendors, the collaboration will simplify and accelerate the adoption of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and unlock new generative artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted innovation for customers. This expands on the two companies’ longstanding joint commitment to help customers transform their businesses and establishes AWS as the first cloud provider to offer the GROW with SAP solution through its cloud marketplace.
“Our collaboration with AWS will provide customers of all sizes a simplified path to deploy cloud ERP with powerful automation and insights via Joule embedded across our business applications,” said Muhammad Alam, member of the executive board of SAP SE, SAP Product Engineering. “Today’s announcement will allow customers to transform in the cloud more easily with the proven security, reliability, and availability of AWS. By using Amazon
Bedrock via the generative AI hub capability from SAP, customers can unlock even more business AI innovation.”
The GROW with SAP solution is a software-as-a-service solution that helps customers adopt cloud ERP quickly. Unlike on-premises deployments, customers who deploy the GROW with SAP on AWS initiative will benefit from simplified and reduced deployment time—from years to months—with no upfront provisioning or licensing costs. Customers also benefit from one unified bill, the opportunity to use their existing AWS credits and commitments, and the availability, flexibility and scalability of the cloud.
GROW with SAP will make it easier for customers to streamline business operations to better serve their end users and build secure generative AI applications by combining their SAP data with AWS industry-leading generative AI services, such as Amazon Bedrock.
Available through the generative AI hub in the SAP AI Core infrastructure on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), and directly on AWS, Amazon Bedrock offers a broad selection of foundation models from leading AI companies, such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Mistral AI, Stability AI and Amazon. These capabilities will complement Joule, SAP’s generative AI copilot, which works across business applications from SAP.
“For more than 16 years, we’ve worked to empower thousands of customers to transform their businesses through seamless integration of SAP solutions with AWS,” said Ruba Borno, vice president, specialists and partners at AWS. “We were the first cloud provider certified to support the SAP portfolio and GROW with SAP on AWS represents our shared commitment to continuing to make it easy to realize the benefits of cloud ERP.”
GROW with SAP on AWS will leverage the AWS Nitro System, a collection of hardware and software components designed to provide high performance, availability, privacy, and security for cloud-based workloads. This allows customers to confidently run their critical SAP ERP applications in the cloud with enhanced performance, reliability and data protection, and without the constraints of traditional hardware configurations.
GROW with SAP on AWS is planned to be available through AWS Marketplace in the coming months. Customers can explore GROW with SAP and other SAP solutions in AWS Marketplace at aws.amazon.com/sap/grow.
