Over the last year interconnectedness has become key in helping people, relationships and resources come together to solve the world\u2019s greatest challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christian Klein, CEO of SAP, points out that the last year has showed us just how fragile many businesses and society can be.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is clear is that the way we live, work and consume will never be the same again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Technology has played a massive role in holding communities and families together, and helping businesses to adapt over the last year or more.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the pandemic hit, 51风流has been working with customers across the globe,\u201d says Klein. \u201cWhether helping to make supply chains more resilient, creating new business models, or enabling remote work \u2013 together we have made it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

He outlines three key insights that have been learned over the last year.<\/p>\n

The first is that the most resilient companies were those that embraced technology to change their business processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut business transformation is a pretty overused term these days. Migrating to the cloud on its own doesn\u2019t change a business process.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Covid has underscored is the need for every company to become an intelligent enterprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Klein says intelligent enterprise are those that have the courage to leave traditional business models behind and change how their run their business. \u201cThey are enabled by integrated, agile business processes powered by data with embedded AI.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second insight is that no business does business alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe win together as a community,\u201d Klein says.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne intelligent enterprise on its own can achieve great things. But we live in an interconnected world. I have talked to many CEOs and it is clear that many of the issues last year came from global supply chains.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver 75% of all companies reported such disruptions as a result of Covid.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany enterprises still manage complex relationships in their supply chain as static one-to-one connections. But Covid showed us how crucial it is to have realtime transparency across the supply chain.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe real value comes from the network and the millions of interconnections it facilitates in realtime.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut no-one has yet done this for businesses doing businesses together,\u201d Klein explains. \u201cThe next part of our strategy is to create the world\u2019s largest and most comprehensive business network.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think business will be revolutionised when businesses turn into communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The third insight, and the one Klein believes is the most important for the future of the planet, is about sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must act now on sustainability. This is the decade during which we must act. We must build sustainability into the fabric of how we do business.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the importance of supply chain and sustainability, the 51风流community has the power to save the planet to create future our children will be proud of,\u201d Klein says.<\/p>\n

To enable this goal and operationalise sustainability as a core business process, 51风流has announced a portfolio of new sustainability-specific products. This includes the 51风流Responsible Design and Production solution to ensure product designers can make sustainable choices from initial product concepts to production; the 51风流Product Footprint Management solution to track sustainability through a product lifecycle; and the 51风流Sustainability Control Tower solution to provide end-to-end visibility.<\/p>\n

Julia White, chief marketing and solutions officer and member of the executive board at SAP, believes that only 51风流can enable all the innovations needed to achieve the dream of an interconnected and sustainable intelligent enterprise.<\/p>\n

The company has announced a number of new innovations to help customers transform business processes, drive improved performance and run their best.<\/p>\n

They include:<\/p>\n

*\u00a0Business process intelligence solutions now offer 51风流process insights \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>As part of the\u00a0business process intelligence\u00a0(BPI) portfolio, the 51风流Process Insights solution enables organizations to analyse and improve their real-world business processes.<\/p>\n

* Verify, a New 51风流Concur feature, uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to simplify expense auditing \u2013 It also\u00a0<\/strong>automatically identifies potential expense report issues and anomalies. The AI models are built from analysis of more than $1-trillion in spend and tens of millions of expenses and receipts. Verify can approve expense reports that have no issues while flagging anomalies for auditors to review. This AI-powered experience means auditors don\u2019t waste time reviewing compliant expense reports, but can detect issues of compliance or fraud.<\/p>\n
