In the midst of rapid digital transformation, choosing a modern, flexible, and globally-aligned enterprise management platform is a critical factor for sustainable business growth.
On April 10, Citek, in collaboration with SAP Vietnam, hosted the seminar “The Next Era of ERP: GROW with SAP” in Ho Chi Minh City. The event gathered senior executives and business leaders from major enterprises across Vietnam, offering a comprehensive view of the future of enterprise resource planning systems. It spotlighted emerging technology trends and digital transformation strategies powered by ERP Cloud—specifically, the GROW with SAP solution.

The opening session featured in-depth insights from leading experts on the evolving ERP landscape and the cutting-edge technologies integrated into GROW with SAP. These include embedded AI, the flexible Business Technology Platform (BTP), and industry-specific Best Practices designed to help businesses achieve "quick wins" in as little as 12 weeks. A key highlight was the detailed roadmap for upgrading from Tier-1 and Tier-2 ERP systems such as SAP ECC and SAP Business One to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud (GROW with SAP) - a solution that enables businesses to standardize processes, optimize operations, and significantly reduce long-term ownership costs. The concept of a “Clean Core” was also emphasized as a strategic approach to eliminating technical debt, enhancing system agility, and facilitating seamless integration of new technologies.

The panel discussion drew strong interest with timely topics that are top of mind for today’s businesses. From the impact of the U.S.'s new 46% import tariff on Vietnamese goods, to flexible response strategies through intelligent ERP systems, the conversation was both relevant and practical. Speakers also explored key considerations for transitioning to Cloud ERP, especially GROW with SAP solution, investment strategies, implementation methodologies, and the real-world applicability of technologies—especially AI—in enterprise management. A standout moment was the compelling success story from Vinh Hoan Corporation, a pioneering enterprise in deploying SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud.
