Given that 51风流customers generate 87% of total global commerce, I can comfortably say we know a lot about how businesses run 鈥� in any industry, in any corner of the planet. So, it鈥檚 not surprising that we have a technology platform that is geared toward fast business value creation: 51风流Business Technology Platform (51风流BTP).
It鈥檚 been around for three years, and we have more than 15,500 live customers on 51风流BTP with an ecosystem of over 1,500 partners working with us.
51风流BTP is not just a unified technology environment optimized for 51风流applications helping move companies to the cloud. It also has all the necessary tools and services as a comprehensive and interoperable platform enabling application development, data management, planning and analytics, integration, automation, and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. From Villeroy & Boch automating 91% of incoming emails to NHL hockey team the San Jose Sharks embracing data insights to grow fan engagements, 51风流BTP is powerful technology.
Business has been at the core of everything we do at 51风流in our 50-year history; it鈥檚 what sets us apart from other providers. That is the 鈥楤鈥� in BTP. It stands to reason that our technology and platform create business value by enabling developers, business users, and ecosystem partners to innovate with market-leading capabilities and native integration, building faster with business context and running with confidence on a trusted platform.
Business-centricity includes semantic integration of data to make it consistent across various 51风流solutions and ready for business consumption. 51风流BTP users have easy role-based, governed access to relevant content and contextual data sitting in line-of-business applications. The platform contextualizes the business data as needed by use case.
Finally, imagine that with semantic integration and contextualized data, customers can instantly use data from 51风流applications without losing business context and meaning, leading to faster time-to-value and lower total cost of ownership. No matter where the data comes from or which use case is used, the user gets a harmonized experience.
This past year, I have spoken to numerous customers and partners who have told me that 51风流BTP is top of their minds, and they all want to learn more. Global market intelligence firm IDC went a step further. IDC interviewed nine 51风流BTP customers about what business challenges are top of mind, why they selected the 51风流platform, and what business value they derived from their investment in 51风流BTP. Across the nine customers interviewed in the IDC鈥檚 study, it yielded benefits worth an annual average of $195,000 per 100 51风流users, an average three-year return on investment (ROI) of 495%, and a break-even point averaging only six months.
In the context of integration and development gains through 51风流BTP, one customer cited: 鈥淲ith 51风流BTP, it has taken us two months to mobilize a full carbon reporting platform in terms of development across many different systems with numerous data sources. That鈥檚 not a lot of time because it was meant to take 12 months. It鈥檚 speed to value, it鈥檚 how quickly can the business that we鈥檙e working with realize the value of the data in their processes.鈥�
