Introduction

• Steve Jones, General Manager of SAP and VMware businesses at AWS
• Joined by Arpon to discuss "Grow on AWS", a multi-tenant SaaS service for ERP

What is ERP?

• Software that helps manage enterprise resources, such as digital, physical, financial, and operational resources
• ERP systems help businesses be more efficient and adapt to new business models
• SaaS ERP solutions like Grow offer faster deployment, regular updates, and turnkey value compared to traditional on-premises ERP

AWS and SAP Partnership

• AWS and SAP have been working together for over 16 years
• SAP runs many of its lines of business on AWS, and AWS also runs SAP internally
• Customers like Moderna, Sunoco, and BBC have moved their critical SAP systems to AWS

Grow by SAP

• Three key value pillars:
  1. Simplify everyday work with modern user experience and embedded AI
  2. Enable new business models with out-of-the-box capabilities
  3. Rapid deployment through the SAP Activate methodology

Grow on AWS

• Available on the AWS Marketplace, allowing easy procurement and deployment
• Partners can build and package their own industry-specific extensions on top of Grow
• Leverages AWS technologies like Graviton processors for improved performance and sustainability

Under the Hood

• Grow leverages the power of AWS Graviton processors, offering up to 30% better compute performance and 60% less energy consumption
• SAP and AWS have collaborated to optimize HANA Cloud on Graviton, driving substantial cost and performance benefits
