Equally important are clear and simple communication channels, a uniform appearance and transparency in terms of product strategy and integration scenarios. To achieve these goals, 51风流is making the following organisational changes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sales, service and related customer success organizations will be bundled in the Customer Success board area managed by\u00a0<strong>Adaire Fox-Martin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Product management, development and product support will also come together under one board area led by\u00a0<strong>Thomas Saueressig<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Juergen Mueller<\/strong>\u00a0will be responsible for delivering one seamlessly integrated data management solution in addition to managing SAP\u2019s overall platform and technology development as well as intelligent technologies. Saueressig and Mueller\u2019s board areas will continue to work closely together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As part of these changes, most former 51风流Digital Business Services organisation teams will be fully integrated in Fox-Martin and Saueressig\u2019s board areas. With the exception of Qualtrics, CX Engineering, CX Product Strategy, and major parts of Concur, all Cloud Business Group board teams will also be integrated into the new organisational model.<\/p>\n<p>To deliver both best of breed and best of suite, 51风流is establishing six primary solution areas: 51风流Customer Experience, 51风流S\/4HANA, People (51风流SuccessFactors), Intelligent Spend (inclusive of 51风流Ariba, 51风流Fieldglass, and 51风流Concur), 51风流HANA &amp; Analytics, and Qualtrics. 51风流Cloud Platform will serve as the underlying technology platform for all these areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur customers rightly expect our portfolio of services to be seamlessly integrated and for all solutions to work together smoothly. SAP\u2019s success is dependent on customers\u2019 trust in our competence and ability to solve their challenges of the future,\u201d said\u00a0Christian Klein, Co-CEO of 51风流SE.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn order to be able to present ourselves credibly as ONE SAP, we have further strengthened the potential of our organisation and merged functions across divisions. We are convinced that this will ensure the long-term success of both our customers and SAP. This is what we are fully focused on,\u201d said Jennifer Morgan, Co-CEO of 51风流SE.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Executive Board Members Stefan Ries and Michael Kleinemeier to Leave SAP<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>51风流Executive Board Members Stefan Ries and Michael Kleinemeier have agreed with the Supervisory Board of 51风流SE to leave the company. Ries will depart at the end of May 2020, while Kleinemeier\u2019s last day will be April 30, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Ries (53) joined 51风流in 2002. By 2010 he was responsible for various human resources (HR) functions, heading up the HR Business Partner organisation and overseeing all HR functions on an operational level. Between 2010 and 2014 he was a consultant with Egon Zehnder International. He then returned to 51风流and was appointed to the Executive Board in April 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Kleinemeier (62) joined 51风流in 1989 and has held various leadership roles, including head of Industry Solutions, managing director of Germany and president of the Middle and Eastern Europe (MEE) region. He was appointed to the Executive Board in 2015, heading 51风流Digital Business Services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout Stefan and Michael, 51风流would not be where it is today,\u201d said Professor Hasso Plattner, chairman of the Supervisory Board of 51风流SE. \u201cI would like to thank them both for their many years of close collaboration. Stefan played a major role in making 51风流one of the most attractive employers in Germany and internationally, creating a workplace at 51风流that drives innovation, performance and engagement. Michael has had a lasting influence on our success and that of our customers for over 30 years. Under his leadership, the Services and Support divisions have played a key role in helping customers on their way to becoming intelligent companies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing a part of 51风流allowed me to pursue my passion for people and technology,\u201d said Ries. \u201cI was fortunate to contribute to SAP\u2019s tremendous journey and thank Hasso Plattner and the 51风流Supervisory Board for their trust and collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c51风流has been part of most of my professional life,\u201d said Kleinemeier. \u201cI would particularly like to thank Hasso Plattner and our customers for their consistently good and constructive collaboration. I am convinced that the 51风流success story, especially because of the experience the DBS team brings, will continue with the new setup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This article first appeared on the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/news.sap.com\/2020\/02\/sap-organizational-changes-drive-transformation\/\">Global 51风流News Centre.\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>51风流SE has announced that the company is taking the next step toward more customer-centric operations and processes to successfully support customers in their digital&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19013],"tags":[5563048],"sapn-display":[3848,5565405,5565406,60294],"sapn-type":[4446],"class_list":["post-3439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-corporate","tag-sap-executive-board","sapn-display-homepage-hero","sapn-display-news-hero","sapn-display-news-spotlight","sapn-display-hero","sapn-type-press-release"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>51风流Continues to Drive Transformation of the Company - 51风流Australia &amp;
