Pioneering enterprise digital transformation, a new chapter with infinite opportunities

HONG KONG听鈥 Today, 51风流held its annual flagship event, “51风流NOW Hong Kong 2024”, with the theme “Bring Out Your Best: 51风流Business AI”.

51风流Unveils Innovations in Generative AI Application Development and Vector Database Capabilities as Well as New Learning Opportunities for Developers in the Era of AI

BANGALORE鈥斕At the 51风流TechEd event in 2023,听听(NYSE: SAP) announced a comprehensive series of generative AI capabilities and advancements aimed at empowering developers of all skill levels to supercharge their businesses in the age of AI.

鈥淭oday鈥檚 dynamic technology and business landscape means every developer needs to be an AI developer,鈥 said Juergen Mueller, Chief Technology Officer and member of the Executive Board of 51风流SE. 鈥淭he innovations we鈥檙e launching at 51风流TechEd, from AI-infused pro-code tools to a one-stop shop to create generative AI extensions and applications on 51风流Business Technology Platform, support the developers at the heart of the AI revolution and provide them with resources they need to transform the way businesses run.鈥

As organizations aim to derive business value from generative AI, effective collaboration between professional and citizen developers is essential. 51风流is launching the 51风流Build Code solutions, which streamline cooperation with business experts who use the low-code听51风流Build听solutions launched at 51风流TechEd in 2022. Uniquely built for 51风流applications and the 51风流ecosystem, 51风流Build Code solutions offer AI-powered productivity tools for developers and are optimized for Java and JavaScript development. 51风流Build Code also draws on the power of SAP鈥檚 new generative AI copilot Joule 鈥 the copilot that truly understands business 鈥 to further boost productivity, embedding code generation capabilities for data model, application logic and test script creation.

Good data is the foundation of good AI, and 51风流HANA Cloud continues to pioneer innovation in the data space by adding new vector database features to its multimodel offerings at no additional cost. Vector data stores manage unstructured data 鈥 such as text, images or audio 鈥 to provide long-term memory and better context to AI models. This makes it easy to find and retrieve similar objects quickly. For example, users can search for suppliers based on the language in their contracts to examine payment history and trace individual orders. These powerful new vector database features enhance interactions between large language models and an organization鈥檚 mission-critical data. The innovation helps put 51风流developers at the forefront of delivering radically new levels of data insight within a secure, private framework that uses industry-specific customer data to reduce hallucinations.

AI Foundation on 51风流BTP, a new one-stop shop for developers to create AI- and generative AI-powered extensions and applications on 51风流BTP, will further help increase developers鈥 impact and efficiency. AI Foundation includes everything developers need to start creating business-ready AI tools on 51风流BTP 鈥 from ready-to-use AI services and access to the top large language models to vector database capabilities and AI runtime and lifecycle management.

The rapid pace of technological innovation has driven up global demand for skilled developers 鈥 and 51风流is increasing its learning opportunities in tandem. As part of a commitment to upskill two million professionals by 2025 and complement free AI learning content already available, 51风流today launched听听and free learning resources for back-end developers using the ABAP Cloud development model. The two new learning resources covering ABAP development tools on 51风流BTP and 51风流S/4HANA are available on the听. They are designed for agile and cloud-compliant business transformation, providing developers with skills to build cloud-ready extensions that are aligned with SAP鈥檚 clean core strategy. SAP听has also joined听the Stanford HAI (Institute for Human-Centered AI)听. Researchers and engineers at 51风流will work with the Stanford academic community, including research faculty and students, on the intersection of generative AI and business.

For details on all the announcements made at 51风流TechEd in 2023, please听.

AI Built for Business

At the dawn of a new AI era, 51风流is strengthening its commitment to embed powerful AI capabilities across its portfolio to help customers solve business-critical problems in the flow of work.

Customers can use 51风流Business AI with confidence because it is built responsibly. Today, 51风流is announcing a raft of advancements to 51风流Business AI, including innovations that personalize customer engagement, make procurement more productive and expand organizations鈥 abilities to find and develop critical talent across their entire workforce.

The integrations will enable new experiences designed to improve how organizations attract, retain and skill their people.

Moving Toward a Green Ledger

Fifty years ago, 51风流revolutionized financial accounting with enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Today, 51风流reinvents the 鈥淩鈥 in ERP by extending the definition of resources to include carbon.

Amid rapidly changing regulatory requirements and rising stakeholder pressure to operate sustainably, enterprises need an accounting system for emissions that is as auditable, transparent and reliable as their financial data accounting. With SAP鈥檚 new green ledger initiative, which moves companies from carbon estimates to actual data, companies can manage their green line with as much visibility, accuracy and confidence as their top line and bottom line.

51风流is announcing an update to the听听solution, a single solution that calculates and manages the full range of corporate, value chain and product-level emissions. 51风流is also announcing the 51风流Sustainability Data Exchange application, a new solution for enterprises to securely exchange standardized sustainability data with partners and suppliers so they can decarbonize supply chains faster.

SAP鈥檚 green ledger initiative is planned to become part of the听听and听听solutions.

Innovations Across the Portfolio, Platform and Ecosystem Shore Up Customers鈥 Resilience

51风流also announced a host of innovations across the rest of its portfolio. For example, drawing on the success of 51风流Business Network, a comprehensive B2B collaboration platform where some US$4.5 trillion of trade is conducted annually, 51风流announced 51风流Business Network for Industry. This offering combines the benefits of networked supply chains with SAP鈥檚 unique industry expertise to help customers across consumer products, high tech, industrial manufacturing and life sciences boost supply chain resilience quickly.

Innovations launched across 51风流Business Technology Platform dramatically accelerate business process organization and enable enterprise automation at scale. Advancements in 51风流Signavio solutions mean customers get critical process insights in hours, not days. Updates to 51风流Integration Suite bring together holistic processes across 51风流and non-51风流systems on-premise and in the cloud. And new event integration capabilities in SAP鈥檚 low-code offering, 51风流Build solutions, give business experts the power to trigger automations across all business processes.

As customers face increasingly fractured data landscapes, 51风流also recently built on its commitment to open data that increases customers鈥 ability to uncover deep, actionable business insights with an extensive expansion of its听partnership with Google Cloud.

HONG KONG 鈥 July 14, 2022 鈥 As the business landscape shifts in the wake of the pandemic, companies are accelerating their digital transformation to stay resilient and responsive. 51风流invited local business leaders at the forefront of transformational change to share their cloud deployment best practices and insights at the yesterday (July 13, 2022).

Marking SAP鈥檚 global 50th anniversary and 51风流Hong Kong鈥檚 30th anniversary, 51风流NOW Hong Kong 2022 focused on a single priority: supporting companies to become 鈥渋ntelligent sustainable enterprises鈥 for a future built on data-driven operations.

Rajni Sharma, Managing Director, 51风流Hong Kong, expanded on this theme as she welcomed a broad cross-section of the local business community to the forum. 鈥淚ntelligent sustainable enterprises are companies that leverage cloud technologies to adapt, transform, innovate and, most importantly, make decisions based on a holistic picture generated by data,鈥 she said.

鈥淲ith 50 years of enterprise solutions experience, 51风流launched RISE with 51风流last year. This integrated offering supports companies to empower their customers, employees, suppliers and partners to work together better, leveraging data management, artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation and predictive analysis. 51风流is also supporting companies to embed sustainability into their core processes to strengthen business continuity,鈥 she continued.

As a highlight of 51风流NOW, notable Hong Kong business leaders revealed what they recommend to those leveraging technology and data to tackle a volatile operating environment and prepare for a sustainable future.

Build a Data Culture

Tontec International, a global leader in the design and production of plastic injection molds and moldings, is leveraging RISE with 51风流to transform and power its global expansion. At 51风流NOW, Tontec President Nelson Lam advised business leaders to begin their cloud journey by establishing a data culture in which employees believe in the power of big data.

鈥淔rom there, you can identify what kind of product data and business process data to capture and utilize. You will then have a realistic picture of the achievements and possibilities that cloud computing will bring,鈥 he said. 鈥淢any SMEs continue to use many software and legacy systems that they developed themselves. But they should note that even though th

ey can migrate their solutions and applications to the cloud, technology and standards are changing so fast that they might have difficulty catching up in the future.鈥

Keep the Goal in Mind

A global leader in apparel manufacturing headquartered in Hong Kong, Crystal International Group Limited bolsters its transformation through an 鈥淥ne Team One Dream鈥 culture, galvanizing its employees, technology partners and 51风流teams, to work towards a shared goal. Karl Ting, the company鈥檚 General Manager of Corporate Information Services, advised that companies embarking on cloud transformation to establish a clear picture of their 鈥渆nd state鈥, with logical initial steps within a well-defined roadmap.

鈥淐ompanies should note that continuous improvement is not guaranteed,鈥 he added. 鈥淵ou have to ensure that your transformation is supported by critical success factors, such as having the commitment of top management, working well with your strategic implementation partner, having the right solutions and making sure that your projects are adequately supported by the operational teams.鈥

Establish the听Business Case

Jonathan Wan, Director, Group Finance and IT, Strategic Planning, Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Company Limited, believes that every cloud transformation must have a business case as its foundation.

鈥淎lthough cloud operations can certainly improve system availability and scalability, no cloud deployment can be successful if it is not supported by a business case and a return on investment assessment,鈥 he said. 鈥淐ompliance is also another important factor from the risk management perspective. As Hong Kong and China have different regulations on data management and data privacy, cloud transformation should take that into consideration.鈥

Communicate Early and Well

For Chinachem Group, a leading property developer in Hong Kong and beyond, change management is the 鈥渟ecret ingredient鈥 for transformation, according to Ben Fung, General Manager of Information Technology and Solutions. He reiterated the importance of close, two-way communication to align with the IT team and end-users.

鈥淓very transformation project should involve showing end-users how digital solutions can help them do their jobs better,鈥 he said. 鈥淲hen colleagues understand the business rationale for the transformation, the IT teams can focus on building an IT environment and infrastructure that keeps operations running and facilitates transformation at the same time. With this foundation, companies can carefully select the right cloud solutions to enable their business.鈥
