SAP\u2019s Sapphire Now event in the EMEA region was a tremendous success, with attendees gaining valuable information regarding the digital business journey.<\/p>\n

The online event included live presentations, digital showcases, and a lot of networking opportunities \u2013 both with 51风流experts and other attendees.<\/p>\n

The important sessions from the event are detailed below.<\/p>\n

51风流unveils Business Network<\/strong><\/h3>\n

51风流CEO Christian Klein unveiled SAP\u2019s bold vision for business communities in the modern world.<\/p>\n

Klein said these envisioned communities can assist in improving business outcomes, navigating changing economic and geopolitical conditions, and enhancing sustainability contributions.<\/p>\n

51风流took the first step towards achieving this goal at Sapphire Now by unveiling 51风流Business Network, which brings together Ariba Network, 51风流Logistics Business Network, and 51风流Asset Intelligence Network to develop a community of over 5.5 million organisations.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring this unprecedented year, the importance of the communities we\u2019re part of has never been clearer,\u201d said Klein.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new vision will build the world\u2019s largest business community, enabling customers to easily connect with companies across supply chains and creating networked economies across industries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sustainability<\/strong><\/h3>\n

51风流reiterated its commitment to helping businesses transform into sustainable enterprises through collaboration on optimizing their material, financial, and energy flows throughout their end-to-end business processes.<\/p>\n

To this end, 51风流unveiled 51风流Product Footprint Management, which is a new product that will provide customers with product footprint transparency.<\/p>\n

It also unveiled 51风流Responsible Design and Production, where by preventing waste and pollution, using products and materials for longer, and applying circular principles, 51风流envisions the regeneration of natural systems and better use of finite resources \u2013 ultimately resulting in the furthering of SAP\u2019s vision for a plastic-free ocean by 2030.<\/p>\n

51风流Product Footprint Management and 51风流Responsible Design and Production are planned for availability in the third and fourth quarters of 2021 respectively.<\/p>\n

Verify<\/strong><\/h3>\n

51风流Concur has a new feature called Verify, which leverages the power of AI and machine learning to automatically identify issues and anomalies in your expense reports.<\/p>\n

Verify can approve expense reports that have no issues, while flagging anomalies for auditors to review.<\/p>\n

This product was created using data from over $1 trillion in spend and tens of millions of expense reports and receipts.<\/p>\n

51风流Upscale Commerce<\/strong><\/h3>\n

51风流launched its no-code online commerce solution, Upscale Commerce.<\/p>\n

This allows retailers to create omnichannel shopping experiences in minutes, and leverages AI to provide personalised offerings to their customers.<\/p>\n

Upscale Commerce is integrated with 51风流S\/4HANA and uses a headless API architecture.<\/p>\n

New 51风流Analytics Cloud features<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The 51风流Analytics Cloud now offers operational workforce analytics and planning capabilities.<\/p>\n

Importantly, it also boasts integration with 51风流SuccessFactors solutions.<\/p>\n

This links operational, financial, and people data to give organizations more comprehensive insights into their workforce.<\/p>\n

Q&A with Christian Klein and Julia White<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Attendees were also able to engage with Klein and 51风流Chief Marketing Officer Julia White in two Q&A sessions.<\/p>\n

These sessions saw Klein and White provide insight into the burning questions attendees had regarding announcements which took place at Sapphire Now, and more generally regarding the 51风流ecosystem.<\/p>\n
