SAP Cloud HR Software and Digital Platform

Following this, the SAP Business suite SAP R/3 software was introduced for enterprise resource planning; and subsequently, the age of big data and cloud computing was redefined by SAP’s cloud ERP: SAP HANA and SAP Cloud HR Software: SAP Success Factor. For an organization that has been at the forefront of the integrated application development, what is the next step?

Looking at the current AI market, the next era of enterprise computing will be defined by intelligent technologies. No wonder, Intelligent Enterprise was one of the most talked-about topics at this year's SAP SAPPHIRE NOW. What is an Intelligent Enterprise?

SAP defines an intelligent enterprise as an organization that leverages the potential of modern cloud-based technologies like AI and IoT to harness data and get real-time insights about its operations, market environment, and customers.

Technology has spearheaded global economic growth over the past decade. Most new businesses and profitable ventures can all be tied to technology-driven innovation.

From Archie to Google, the industry is witnessing how intelligent systems are landscaping organizations; Fortune 500’s are being replaced every week.

Right from retaining customers to offering best-in-class services, to keeping stock of inventory, compliances across countries, vendor payments and SCM, management organizations sift through terabytes of data for daily optimization.

To address these challenges, businesses need to organize a growing volume of data, create spreadsheets, and innovate with relentless clock-speed. In other words, businesses need to create value, while depreciating superfluity. This is the core of an Intelligent Enterprise.

How does SAP help Customers' journey to the Intelligent Enterprise?

By providing:

An intelligent suite

Intelligent technologies/ SAP cloud platforms

Digital platforms: SAP HANA/ SAP SuccessFactors

SAP Cloud Platforms help organizations access their systems from any device at any time and upgrade the systems, thereby enabling them to:

Prioritize the Job for Org’s

Inhibit Problem-Solving modules

Automate Repetitive Tasks

To aid organizations to turn into an Intelligent Enterprise and achieve unmatched results, SAP provides three essential components:

With the provision of intelligent technologies and offering capabilities, SAP Intelligent Enterprise innovates across three different categories, namely system optimization, extensive support, and ecosystem transformation. The innovations under each category includes:

System Optimization By:

Client retention

Resource Flow application

Commodity circulation and costing

Service ticket intelligence

Extensive Support Across:

Sourcing simulation and optimization

Entitlement management

Predictive maintenance and service

Distributed manufacturing

Digital boardroom

Ecosystem Transformation By:

Paying for outcome

Safeguarding supply chain

Machine learning technologies form a pivotal part of creating Intelligent Suites. By embedding algorithms directly into multiple solutions, SAP continuously learns and acclimatizes to new data as it is recorded, without any user involvement.

Thus, the information is presented to educate personnel in the transaction screens they are familiar with, improved with new information to make them more effective at their job. For example, with enough historical data about previous sales, a system can tell which opportunities prioritized over others are more likely to close, and recommend what steps should be taken to make this more likely. And this is exactly what SAP achieves through its Intelligent Suites.
