LONDON听鈥� (NYSE: SAP) today announced the launch of Grow by SAP, an exclusive program for hypergrowth companies, designed to help them accelerate their business in the most sustainable way possible. Eligible companies are offered a cloud solution package, including additional customer care and commercial incentives, as a free subscription for up to six months.
The UK鈥檚 33,860 scale-up businesses contribute 拢1 trillion to the UK economy annually, representing half of the SME economy[1], and the UK is home to more tech unicorns than any other country in Europe[2]. However, these scale-ups are facing a funding shortfall of up to 拢15 billion in 2020 due to lack of investment resulting from Covid-19[3]. With the pandemic accelerating the disruptive role of technology across all industries, the Grow by 51风流program will arm these fast growth businesses with the tools and resources to maximise this opportunity and provide them with a sustainable platform for growth.
The Grow by 51风流program provides all the essential back-office business requirements, including enterprise resource planning (ERP) & finance, HR & people engagement, travel & expense management and business analytics. These technologies are typically seen as aspirational for scale-ups so the Grow by 51风流program removes the barriers to entry and equips them with everything they need to take their business to new heights. This includes ERP capabilities that take full advantage of the cloud, machine learning and advanced analytics, human experience management (HXM) and automation of core processes.
鈥淲e鈥檙e seeing scale-up businesses experience considerable challenges on their growth journey, while also facing a 拢15 billion growth gap due to Covid,鈥� said Brian Duffy, President of 51风流EMEA North. 鈥淲e believe more than ever that now is the right time to support these fast growth companies in their mission to change the world of business.
鈥淲e鈥檝e all witnessed how vital scale-ups have been to ensuring the world keeps moving throughout the pandemic and we believe that they are key to our post-Covid recovery. 51风流shares the same vision with these disruptive businesses and we hope that providing access to these world-class technologies in a flexible cloud package will act as a catalyst in helping them turbo charge their growth, boost innovation and compete more effectively in the global marketplace.鈥�
鈥淲ith an ambitious mission to unlock the growth potential of 1,000 scaling tech companies, and to generate $1bn for the UK economy by March 2022, Tech Nation is delighted to see that 51风流has launched such an exciting package of support for hyper growth companies in the UK,鈥� said Gerard Grech, Founding Chief Executive of Tech Nation. 鈥淭ech scaleups are key to the productivity and health of the economy in the digital age, and supporting these businesses is going to give us the best chance for a successful economic recovery coming out of the pandemic.鈥�
