Leverage Technologies has launched the first SAP GROW FAST Qualified Partner Package in ANZ (approved May 2026), bringing SAP Cloud ERP within reach of the mid‑market. Detailed plan specifics, including how this package aligns with your broader business goals, can be explored directly on our SAP GROW Fast Package Page and remain valid through to May 2027. This framework provides growing and mid market enterprises in Australia with a highly structured, time bound ERP implementation approach designed to transition to SAP Cloud ERP Public Edition within a fixed twelve week timeframe with speed and certainty.
A Phased Framework for Operational Readiness
The implementation is executed using a prescriptive, fit to standard methodology aligned completely with SAP Best Practices. By leveraging pre-configuration, accelerators, and predefined scopes, the approach minimises complexity and avoids the long, unpredictable development cycles associated with heavy customisation.
“Mid‑market businesses have historically seen SAP as something they move to later, once they’ve reached a certain size,” said Leo Dreyer, GM SAP Cloud ERP at Leverage Technologies. “With SAP GROW FAST and our Finance Foundation package, that barrier comes down. Organisations can now get onto SAP Cloud ERP quickly, with a clean finance core and a platform that’s designed to scale as they grow.”
The delivery framework follows a structured journey across distinct phases—Discover, Prepare, Explore, Realise, Deploy, and Run—incorporating formal checkpoints to protect the project timeline. “This isn’t about cutting corners,” Dreyer said. “It’s about starting in the right place. Finance is the backbone of the business, and getting that foundation right early avoids complexity later. SAP GROW Fast gives us the framework to do that in a way that’s predictable and repeatable.” To ensure a controlled deployment, the operational outcomes are divided into clear, manageable waves:
-
Wave 1: The Core Finance Foundation The initial twelve weeks focus entirely on establishing a compliant, robust financial platform for a single Australian entity using standard, fit to standard SAP Cloud ERP processes aligned to GROW Fast. Key outcomes include baseline reporting and Financial Statement Versions (FSV) from day one to ensure faster month end readiness. The setup delivers professional, day one Australian localised outputs using standardised layouts alongside baseline bank statement rules for accelerated reconciliation efficiency. This wave also enables the AI powered user experience with Joule Base as the foundation for future innovation.
-
Wave 2: Scaled Automation and Visibility Once the core platform is stable, organisations can introduce advanced capabilities as they scale to improve efficiency, cash visibility, and decision making. This phase incorporates bank feeds and statement integration, improved visibility over cash, liquidity, FX, and payments, and the optional Leverage FX accelerator with automated exchange rate updates. It also expands document layouts, introduces AP automation to reduce manual processing, and adds advanced analytics alongside integrations into third party applications like CRM, eCommerce, EDI, and payroll.
-
Wave 3: Advanced Optimisation For enterprises navigating multi entity structures, increased operational complexity, or strategic growth plans, the final tier focuses on optimising and future proofing the platform. This phase introduces advanced governance, lifecycle management, and extensibility beyond core operations, including Advanced Receivables Management, Advanced Cash and Payment Management, Contract and Lease Management, Document and Reporting Compliance, and corporate banking connectivity through SAP Multibank Connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can the 12-week implementation timeframe be guaranteed? While the Leverage Finance Foundation for SAP GROW Fast is built on a highly structured, time bound ERP implementation approach designed to move from decision to deployment with speed and certainty, the 12-week timeline is an estimate based on standard deployment conditions and is not guaranteed. Meeting this timeframe depends heavily on factors such as the rapid availability of your data, prompt internal decision-making, sticking strictly to the predefined fit to standard scope, and completing formal checkpoints on schedule which Leverage will work with you on.
2. What exactly is included in the Wave 1 core deployment? Wave 1 focuses entirely on establishing the core finance platform for a single Australian entity using standard, fit to standard SAP Cloud ERP processes aligned to GROW Fast. It delivers a live finance foundation in 12 weeks that includes baseline reporting and Financial Statement Versions (FSV) from day one to support faster month end readiness. The setup also provides professional, day one Australian localised outputs using standardised layouts and accelerated reconciliation enabled by baseline bank statement rules. Finally, it activates an AI ready user experience with Joule Base enabled as your foundation.
3. Why does the methodology emphasise a “fit-to-standard” approach? The implementation methodology aligns your business processes directly with SAP Best Practices. By focusing on configuration and utilising preconfigured accelerators rather than heavy customisation, we minimise project complexity, reduce deployment risks, and protect the implementation timeline. This allows your organisation to achieve a rapid time to value and ensures smoother software updates and upgrades in the future.
4. When can we add integrations to third-party software like CRM or payroll? Advanced capabilities, integrations, and deeper automation are systematically introduced during Wave 2, after the core financial platform is live and stable. Wave 2 outcomes can include automated bank feeds, AP automation to reduce manual processing, advanced analytics, and connections to external systems such as your CRM, eCommerce platforms, EDI, or payroll. This phased model ensures you do not overwhelm your team during the initial go-live phase.
5. Is this package suitable for multi-entity organisations or complex corporate structures? Wave 1 is specifically optimised to get a single Australian entity up and running quickly with a clean, stable finance baseline. If your organisation has strategic growth plans, complex operational models, or multi entity structures, the platform is fully equipped to scale with you. These sophisticated requirements—such as Advanced Receivables Management, Advanced Cash and Payment Management, Contract and Lease Management, or SAP Multibank Connectivity—are systematically addressed and deployed during Wave 3.
