The role of implementation partners in the success of GROW with SAP

Implementing a modern cloud-based ERP system such as SAP S/4HANA under the GROW with SAP program is a major opportunity for growing companies – a chance to streamline processes, accelerate growth, and build a solid foundation for scalable development. However, as practice shows – access to the technology alone does not guarantee success. The key factor that determines the success of an implementation is the implementation partner. It is the partner who is responsible not only for transferring processes to the system, but also for understanding the Client’s business goals, providing guidance on best practices, and eliminating project risks. The right partner can ensure that even a complex transformation runs smoothly, predictably, and securely. How to choose the right partner? What to pay attention to when starting a collaboration? And why is Hicron the choice that supports companies not only in technology, but also in their growth strategy? Read on to find out.

What to look for when choosing an implementation partner?

When selecting an implementation partner for a GROW with SAP project, companies often focus on the proposed price or the size of the provider. These factors are, of course, important – but not the most critical. In projects as complex as implementations, what matters most is the partner’s experience with companies at a similar stage of growth. In the case of GROW with SAP implementations, this typically means businesses that are growing rapidly, scaling operations, and looking for a flexible yet reliable ERP system. Equally important is the partner’s approach to working with the Client – a good partner is not just a service provider, but above all a trusted advisor and guide. They should understand the Client’s industry, ask the right questions, anticipate potential obstacles, and propose solutions that are realistic and actionable.

It is also worth considering the availability of the implementation team, the quality of communication, and the provider’s project management style. Transparency, flexibility, and proactivity are essential. The partner should offer post-implementation support – not just technical, but also strategic – helping the company optimize the system and use its full potential as the organization grows.

Hicron – an SAP partner who understands the needs of dynamic enterprises

For Hicron implementation teams, SAP projects constitute the vast majority of the work. With nearly two decades of experience, we understand the needs and specific challenges of companies of all sizes. Our portfolio includes projects conducted all over the world and across industries – from education, logistics, manufacturing, and automotive to life sciences and mining. And those are just a few examples. Hicron is a long-standing SAP partner that has successfully completed hundreds of implementations for local companies, medium-sized businesses, and international corporations. As an SAP Gold Partner, we are recognized for quality, innovation, and understanding of client needs. Our teams’ success is confirmed by awards from SAP itself, such as the SAP CEE Partner Excellence Award 2025 in the Most Strategic Cloud Deal 2024 category. Our experience goes beyond technology itself – we combine industry knowledge, process expertise, and in-depth familiarity with SAP tools. All this allows us to act as a true partner in business development.

As part of the GROW with SAP offering, we support companies in effective, tailored implementations of SAP S/4HANA Cloud – a system designed for scalable, agile organizations. We offer two versions of this system: Private Cloud Edition and Public Cloud Edition. We help our Clients not only implement the system, but also understand its potential and transform it into a real business advantage. Whether the Client aims to accelerate sales processes, manage finances better, or improve operational efficiency – our teams know how to make it happen!

How does Hicron support companies in digital transformation?

Our approach to ERP implementations – especially within GROW with SAP – goes beyond simply following a project schedule. We work in a partnership model that enables close collaboration with the Client’s team. Already at the planning stage, we jointly analyze the organization’s strategic goals, select the optimal implementation model, and establish clear communication principles. This ensures that the implementation is not a surprise, but a natural step in the company’s growth journey.

We also offer full support in the post-transformation period – from user training, through system optimization, to functionality development and process automation. For many of our Clients, we are not only an implementation partner, but also a long-term IT advisor that helps the company grow and adapt to market changes. This approach brings measurable results – shorter implementation time, faster return on investment, and greater end-user engagement.

Why choose Hicron as your GROW with SAP partner?

Hicron is not just an IT service provider – we are a team of experts who understand that the success of an implementation is not measured by the number of completed sprints, but by real business outcomes. Our projects are led by experienced consultants who hold SAP certifications and have years of experience working with companies of various scales and business profiles. We are flexible – we tailor our cooperation model to each Client’s needs, offering both classic implementations and well as agile or fit-to-standard approaches.

What also sets us apart is transparency and culture of trust. We do not promise the impossible – instead, we build a plan we can actually deliver. Clients value us for clear communication, reliability, and our focus on the business value of every project.
