One Cloud ERP, Two Editions

The axis that decides everything.

Both editions run the same Cloud ERP core. They differ only in where your business sits between standardization and personalization.

← Standardization Personalization →

Public edition delivers ready-to-run standardization. Private edition adapts the same core to your organization’s unique transformation.

Realize

Convert or re-implement, carry custom code across.

Extensions

Customer-influenced upgrade windows.

Discover and Prepare are identical in both lanes - the Digital Discovery Assessment sits in Discover.

The Correct Choice

The edition is decided by
the DDA.

The recommendation between public and private edition is the documented output of the SAP Digital Discovery Assessment (DDA) - run jointly by B-Connect and SAP on your actual processes and data.

If the DDA concludes

Public edition via GROW with SAP

Your processes can adopt SAP best practice as delivered. Fastest path to value, continuous innovation, clean core - with B-Connect add-ons extending it side-by-side on BTP.

If the DDA concludes

Private edition via RISE with SAP

Regulatory, multi-entity or custom-code complexity must travel with you. Tailored-to-fit ERP with controlled upgrade windows and in-stack extension where justified.

B-Connect position

Certified for either route

We are certified to deliver either edition, so our recommendation follows your assessment - not our preference. The add-on layer stays available in both cases.

DDA = SAP Digital Discovery Assessment · conducted before commercial commitment, with its output documented and shared.
