How can companies make well-founded and efficient decisions and prepare themselves for the future in the best possible way?

Are you also confronted with these challenges?

Isolated systems and processes

Data management encompasses the systematic collection, storage, maintenance and use of data within the company. High-quality, up-to-date and structured data is the basis of every digitalization initiative. Poor data quality, inefficient data management and the existence of data silos lead to incorrect decisions and inefficient processes. Insufficient integration and master data problems result in excessive costs in projects and make it difficult for companies to make decisions.

Insufficient analytical competence

A high level of analytical expertise enables companies to derive the relevant insights from data, as they generate large volumes of data on a daily basis (e.g. customer data, production data).
With sound analysis, trends can be recognized, risks identified at an early stage and targeted measures derived. Insufficient analytical expertise, on the other hand, makes data-driven decisions, business analytics and the use of AI systems more difficult.

Cultural change

Cultural change describes changes in the mindset, working methods and management style of an organization – especially in the context of digitalization. The ability to innovate, agility and willingness to learn depend heavily on the corporate culture and employees must be able to accept and shape change. It is becoming increasingly important to focus on the core issues.

Stronger cost management

Cost management refers to the systematic planning, monitoring and control of costs within a company. Profitability and competitiveness depend heavily on how efficiently resources are used. Efficient cost management can help to survive crises and achieve sustainable growth. Particularly in today's uncertain times, it is important to pursue strong cost management and create measures to reduce unnecessary costs by setting a clear focus.

Necessary flexibility

The rapid identification of trends requires fast analysis. Companies must ensure that their processes are agile and responsive in order to meet the current demands of the market. Today's markets are changing rapidly – those who react slowly lose out. Agility and time-to-market are key success factors. With a suitable system landscape that is characterized by flexibility, systems can be added flexibly and also removed if necessary.

Your benefits

Seamless integration and end-to-end transparency

The SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) together with the Integration Suite forms the technological backbone for the cross-system connection of processes and data, both within the SAP landscape and beyond. The SAP S/4HANA Cloud ERP ensures centralized and standardized control of operational business processes, avoiding media disruptions and redundancies. The SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) provides a consolidated and semantically standardized database that intelligently links internal and external sources. The SAP Analytics Cloud gives decision-makers access to real-time data analyses and dashboards that enable well-founded decisions to be made directly in the business process. This is complemented by SAP Business AI, which provides contextual insights, recognizes patterns and intelligently supports processes to further increase transparency and automation.
Smart insights instead of gut feeling

The SAP Business Data Cloud provides trustworthy and always up-to-date data by integrating information from different systems and making it consistently available for all relevant business areas. SAP Business AI and the SAP Analytics Cloud provide in-depth analyses and precise predictions, which together evaluate data, recognize patterns and simulate future scenarios and also deliver ready-made insight apps and dashboards. Joule Agents, embedded in SAP applications, provide context-sensitive recommendations for action directly in the work process and thus enable targeted, situation-dependent action. The SAP Analytics Cloud in combination with SAP BTP creates comprehensive real-time transparency and supports companies in proactive planning and control. In addition, AI-supported scenarios and rule-based processes on SAP BTP enable automated evaluation and continuous optimization of operational processes.
Mindset for innovation and agility

With their modular architecture and standardized process models, SAP BTP and SAP S/4HANA Cloud enable high speed and adaptability when introducing new business models or changes. The intuitive user interface, self-service functions and low-code/no-code tools enable specialist departments to develop solutions and adapt processes independently – without extensive IT dependency. AI scenarios, simulations and flexible business configuration facilitate experiments and tests so that new ideas can be validated and iterated quickly. In combination with the SAP Business Data Cloud (SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Datasphere, SAP DataBricks), a data-driven control basis is available that supports fact-based decisions in real time. Finally, embedded AI, process insights and continuous releases promote a culture of innovation in everyday life, where continuous learning and improvement become part of operational reality.
Clever use of efficiency levers

The SAP S/4HANA Cloud delivers standardized end-to-end processes and proven best practices that enable companies to create an efficient and stable process landscape. With SAP Build Process Automation and the SAP Business Technology Platform, recurring tasks can be automated and continuously monitored and optimized via integrated monitoring. The combination of products from the SAP Business Data Cloud ensures intelligent use of data by combining operational and analytical data and thus enabling well-founded decisions in real time. SAP Business AI, including Joule Agents and machine learning models, supports process optimization through automated suggestions, anomaly detection and predictions on the fly. The overarching platform strategy with SAP BTP as the connecting layer reduces frictional losses and system disruptions by creating a consistent data and process architecture across all areas of the company.
Think and act with agility in business

The Cloud ERP (SAP S/4HANA Cloud) with regular releases ensures high speed and flexibility, as new functions and legal requirements can be quickly adapted and transferred to productive processes. SAP BTP in combination with low-code/no-code platforms and self-service functions enables specialist departments to become more autonomous so that they can independently adapt processes and develop new solutions. The targeted use of AI and automation, for example with Joule Agents and SAP Build, enables intelligent, context-based control that increases operational efficiency and response speed. The combination of SAP Business Data Cloud and real-time analyses ensures that decisions can be made quickly, fact-based and well-founded. A vibrant culture of innovation is sustainably strengthened through the promotion of citizen developers, an API-first approach and the ability to quickly develop and validate MVPs.
