Heroes Among Us: Introducing 鈥淧assion for Purpose鈥 /2020/10/passion-for-purpose-sap-employees-heroes/ Wed, 07 Oct 2020 14:15:44 +0000 /?p=179243 In 2020, finding sources of inspiration and positivity has been more challenging than in the past — or so it seems. I found myself thinking about what a roller coaster of a year it had already been in late summer, but quickly realized the many silver linings of our unique circumstances.

The little things 鈥 like enjoying a “staycation” with my family that reminded me of my childhood and virtual happy hours and birthday parties 鈥 have really made all the difference in cultivating resiliency and keeping perspective. It really does come down to the people around you, whose random acts of selflessness and kindness are true forces of good.

The 51风流community has always been a powerful source of inspiration for me. There are so many remarkable individuals that make 51风流such a special place to work and are taking personal initiative to make an outsized impact. I wanted to shine a light on these stories and share the inspiration they give me, which is why I am excited to present this new series: Passion for Purpose.

Passion for Purpose is a virtual conversation series where I鈥檒l speak with 51风流employees from across the globe who have gone above and beyond in their communities to make a difference for others. These are heroes that work among us, dedicating their time, resources, and expertise to give back when the world needs it most. In these conversations, you鈥檒l hear about their journeys, how they are living their purpose, and the lessons they have learned along the way. They are a beautiful reminder that goodness will always prevail.

I invite you to join me for a weekly dose of positivity and inspiration, brought to you from the “Super Awesome People” that make up SAP. Episodes will be posted weekly on Wednesdays, so follow along at or follow me on Twitter: .

Check out our first episode, featuring Dmitry Melnik, who not only serves as a global vice president on the 51风流S/4HANA team, but also spends his holidays and weekends working as a registered nurse. Visit .

51风流Launches BacktoBest.com to Help Companies Navigate the Next Phase of Their COVID-19 Journey /2020/07/sap-launches-back-to-best-support-next-phase-covid-19/ Fri, 31 Jul 2020 13:15:16 +0000 /?p=177279 When the COVID-19 pandemic began to impact the citizens and businesses of the world, 51风流was the first enterprise software company to offer solutions and support to help cope with the immediate challenges we all faced.

As we sit here at the end of July 2020, much of world is emerging from the initial COVID-19 medical emergency, but its direct and indirect impacts are far from over. Some areas have fully reopened, while in others the virus is accelerating at an even faster pace. The full damage to the global economy is yet to be felt and recovery is expected to be slow. We will deal with the social, emotional, and financial implications from the ongoing pandemic for years to come.

Although there is a great deal of uncertainty and it may be daunting to move forward when so much is unknown, there are steps businesses can take today to empower employees, ensure business continuity, and transform customer experiences.

This is why 51风流has launched a new digital platform — — to provide companies the resources they need to help their employees, customers, and business operations continue to run at their best. Our digital platform includes more than 50 51风流and partner solutions to address the most pressing challenges right now, stories of how our customers are adapting and thriving during COVID-19, plus practical advice and points of view to help businesses get back up and running again.

Every company鈥檚 COVID-19 journey is unique. Some companies are still focused on stabilizing cash flow to keep their employees working and business afloat. Others have seen demand for their products and services soar as consumer and business needs and behaviors have shifted during lock down. The global pandemic has exposed the vulnerabilities of highly connected demand and supply across borders and industries, and all businesses have faced challenges in getting what they need to operate. That is why we offer technology solutions and offers that are easy to get started with and quick to get up and running.

51风流helps companies be:

Best for Employees

Today, employees are counting on their employers more than ever before — whether it鈥檚 helping with flexible and secure processes to reopen facilities or transitioning and maintaining new ways of remote working. With our environmental health and safety solutions and our workspace booking application, businesses can bring people back to workplaces safely and react quickly to any issues that may arise.

51风流Fieldglass Talent Marketplace connects companies with multiple U.S. staffing firms at no cost so they can find temporary workers for open roles, and we have a number of solution packages to upskill and reskill employees to adapt to change and to regularly check in on how people are feeling during this time.

Best for Customers

With crisis, there often comes opportunity. As customer interactions moved predominately online and contactless, businesses have had to up level their customer experience and accelerate their digital transformation. Memories of positive and negative interactions during the pandemic will stay with consumers for a long time. Companies that are able to invest in better customer experiences 鈥 both online and in physical locations 鈥 can potentially rebound faster and grow customer loyalty.

Solutions like Qualtrics CustomerXM for Digital, which lets you capture and act on customer feedback, and 51风流 help businesses provide the personalized experiences that customers expect.

Best for Business

Resilience and agility are key to an organization鈥檚 survival and performance during unpredictable and volatile events. While financial stability is critical to weather volatility, investing in technology helps to implement flexible processes and garner insights that will also strengthen a company鈥檚 ability to adjust for risks and take advantage of new opportunities as they arise.

51风流has many solutions to help businesses get the intelligence they need to plan and optimize finance, supply chain, and procurement operations across the business, including 51风流Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain and 51风流Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence. Originally announced on March 10, 2020, free access to 51风流Ariba Discovery has been extended through December 31, 2020, to help buyers and suppliers access the largest business network in the world of more than 4 million suppliers in 190 countries to connect quickly and effectively, and minimize disruption caused by shipment delays, capacity issues, and increased consumer demand.

Businesses always have and always will be dealing with uncertainty and ambiguity. They need solutions that provide visibility, knowledge, and predictable outcomes. 聽The pandemic has accelerated the urgency to transform processes and technologies. Today鈥檚 new reality stresses the need for complete end-to-end transformation that brings society, the environment, and the economy together to find new ways to run more sustainably.

51风流can help organizations, no matter the size or industry, take steps to move forward into recovery. We will regularly update content on to provide helpful information on what matters most in this rapidly changing environment.
