SAP’s New Mobile Experience: The Intelligent Enterprise at Your Fingertips

51��News — Mon, 14 Jun 2021 06:35:37 +0000

SAP’s new mobile experience puts people at the heart of business processes — anywhere and anytime.

Over the past years, working styles have been drastically changing in many industries with mobile becoming the prevailing experience and a critical driver of process innovation. In the coming years, business processes will become increasingly automated and decisions will be made even faster without being in an office or at a desk. Data generated by intelligent, connected devices will reshape the core processes of many industries. �ճ�� pandemic has further accelerated the transformation toward a digital and flexible way of working.

What does not change is that people need to be at the heart of processes and software alike, calling for experiences that truly matter to them and help them to get their job or tasks done anytime, anywhere, regardless of their work style. This is often overlooked when talking about business or IT processes in general. And that clearly needs to change.

��’s�� are important enablers for creating business value. The Intelligent Enterprise, however, must be a people-centric system that adapts to business needs by providing contextually relevant insights to users, allowing them to make informed decisions in real time and from anywhere.

This year at , we introduce SAP’s new mobile experience and share a glimpse of our new native entry point app: 51��Mobile Start.

Personal, Intuitive, Contextual, Delightful

Content, apps, and tasks need to be easily and intuitively accessible for users in one place so they can stay informed, take action, and dive into their work – no matter where they are or what time of the day it is. This experience needs to feel personal, relevant, and frictionless across all devices.

During the course of a workday, users encounter numerous so-called micro-experiences that differ based on their work and responsibilities. These individual interactions are the basis for completing daily tasks and can be repetitive or constantly changing. Think of situations like approving a requisition, helping customers, reviewing financial statements, submitting a leave request, or planning a trip.

To serve different role types best, 51��is using value engineering to define a mobile-first portfolio that combines similar functionality of different apps and helps ensure the right user experience, including desktop and web experiences for infrequent mobile users as needed. Each work context is being addressed with pre-built integration, on-device intelligence, and highly tuned workflows and collaboration capabilities.

Take a warehouse clerk as an example. In this role, mobile solutions need to support all daily tasks, ranging from unloading to picking, packing, and shipping. Optimized business processes and workflows should minimize unnecessary user interaction steps by leveraging the latest on-device technologies like a Matrixscan to scan multiple barcodes at once, real-time insights through augmented reality overlays, and optimized routes through the warehouse with indoor navigation.

Micro-Experiences

Over the course of the day, people interact with multiple business processes and need to access data and applications from various systems. The touchpoints where technology and processes intersect to enable people to be successful are the micro-experiences that are essential for a superior user experience.

Starting Point of SAP’s Mobile Experience

On-device intelligence in every business moment provides the best of cloud intelligence (composing end-to-end processes) and the best of edge intelligence (total experience for mobile users in their unique environment), extending the value and reach of the Intelligent Enterprise to everyone’s fingertips.

The app is planned to for availability for iOS in August 2021, with an Android version planned for later in the year.

At the end of the day, people run the software we build. Therefore, we envision the Intelligent Enterprise as a people-centric system that provides contextually relevant insights, so informed decisions can be made in real time and from anywhere. This is only the start of much more to come.

Embark with us on a user experience journey that puts people at the heart of business software and processes — from start to finish.

RISE with 51��for Modular Cloud ERP: A New Way of Working

51��News — Fri, 11 Jun 2021 01:51:08 +0000

Business transformation is a necessity. It was Heraclitus, the Greek Philosopher, who said “The only thing that is constant is change.” Even though Heraclitus said this around 500 BC, his words are relevant even today—and much more in business. What adds to the inevitable change is the speed at which things are changing.

In the past, business was able to handle one or two simultaneous changes but looking into today’s change management dashboard, it keeps evolving. In different dimensions that results in more complexity to handle and adjust within the business.

Such diverse business changes mandate business transformation to survive. Business leaders equipped with digital acumen have an even more strategic role to play for driving this transformation.

Per the , the average lifespan for a company is down to about 10 years before the company is bought, acquired, or liquidated. The companies that have been able to survive for decades have done it by being agile, flexible, cost-efficient, and innovative. Making both the right decisions at right time and business transformation at the right time are key.

However, business transformation is easier said than done. It requires clear insights to your business and getting the right guidance to strengthen the integration among various business elements at each step of your business processes.

Enterprises must be prepared to form new digital ecosystems and partnerships across industries, and to get into unexplored domains that can enhance their customer experience. To put this to context, IDC reported in 2019 that by 2025, 20% of revenue growth will come from “whitespace.”

Business Leaders in the Transformation Strategy

Technology is the key to driving business transformation and business leaders must acknowledge this by bringing their IT and business strategy together.

There are additional perspectives to be considered before business transformation is executed.

The Right Time

Leaders know they must identify risks and see around corners before disruptions occur, when there is still time to do something about future challenges. Data is an asset and a business leader’s ability to use data is the skill for driving strategic decisions. This is why 59% of decision-makers are actively using data and analytics to define and shape their strategies.

Connecting the Dots

Good customer service is no longer a business differentiator; it is a business fundamental. Leaders know traditional system and organizational silos within their companies are holding back their businesses and overall customer experience. Seventy-nine percent of business leaders agree that the ability to connect processes across systems and ecosystems allows organizations to improve customer experience and streamline business operations and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).

Business Anticipation

Leaders know that digital disruption is not something to watch out for; it’s something to lead. This is why 72% say that rather than waiting to be disrupted by competitors, their organizations are actively disrupting their own sectors and processes. Being able to continuously invent new approaches and implement them rapidly through technology is essential to lead the race.

By 2024, more than 50% of all IT spending will go toward digital transformation and innovation—up from 31% in 2018 and growing at a compound annual rate of 17% as outlined by in October 2019

Time to Reimagine ERP

Over the last few years, the pace of business and innovation has accelerated dramatically. Legacy enterprise resource planning (ERP) has failed to satisfy the appetite for real-time information. The sad reality is that for almost every business, “version-lock” is the Achilles heel of their on-premise ERP.

Yesterday’s ERP solution is not keeping up with today’s business and technological demands. Take a look at some key business strategic priorities:

Outcome-based engagements
According to the Future of by the , 50% of human tasks will be automated by 2025:

Move to outcome- or performance-based engagements
Adopt intelligent bid management to increase predictability and decrease risk

Enabling new business models
IDC’s worldwide IT industry predictions 2020 report finds that 20% of revenue growth will come from “whitespace” offerings by 2025 and accordingly companies need to create new lines of business:

Monetization of data
Innovative partnerships
Efficient order fulfillment and delivery

Greater integration of applications, data, and management across all cloud providers and locations
By 2022, 70% of enterprises will integrate their public and private clouds by deploying unified hybrid/multi cloud management technologies, tools, and processes, according to .
