ERP Future 2021: SAP S/4HANA and the Intelligent Enterprise

ERP Future connects ERP seekers with ERP experts. We were there as an exhibitor and familiarised the auditorium with the intelligent company within SAP!

In our presentation "SAP S/4HANA and the path to the smart enterprise", buzzwords such as digitalisation or digital transformations were explained and looked at in depth.  

BUT WHAT IS AN INTELLIGENT COMPANY AND WHAT MAKES IT SO?

The intelligent company focuses on automating routine tasks so that valuable employees can concentrate on other issues. Technologies such as chatbots, for example, help to relieve the support staff of standard questions from customers, so that they can focus on the "challenging" questions of the customers.

In addition, machine learning was used to show how Netflix analyses the user behaviour of consumers and thus enables an individualised viewing experience.

IOT technologies enable digital farming. Here, weather data or soil moisture data are used to optimise crop growth. Blockchain can also help in daily business, for example to prove the authenticity of products.

ON-PREMISE OR CLOUD SOLUTIONS

The question of whether on-premise or the path to the cloud is the right choice in the future was also addressed. Here it can be clearly stated that the trust of customers and users in the cloud has risen sharply in recent years. It is evident that the various possibilities of cloud offers are being used in practice.

In conclusion, it can be said that the trend from the buzzword "digitalisation" to the holistic concept of the "intelligent company" is growing and companies are intensively driving this development. SAP S/4HANA is the right solution here for the first step towards the intelligent enterprise.
