鈥淭he entire world is on your shoulders… We have to deliver. This is the beginning of a new computing age, the beginning of a new industrial revolution. All 100% on SAP.鈥

Jensen Huang, CEO, NVIDIA

It鈥檚 the world鈥檚 company, building AI supercomputers made of more than 600,000 parts and delivering them to hundreds of the world鈥檚 most demanding customers. And, as NVIDIA鈥檚 CEO Jensen Huang noted, 鈥渋t鈥檚 all on SAP鈥.

The message from 51风流Sapphire 2024 in Orlando was clear. AI is not only the future, it is here today. And now it鈥檚 time to use it.

But amid the hustle and bustle of the event, there were lots of nuggets that you may have missed. So, with one eye on the benefits for Asia Pacific and Japan, here are my key learnings from Sapphire.

You can鈥檛 win in AI alone 鈥 you need a best-in-class ecosystem

The opportunity for AI in the Asia Pacific region is vast. According to , the Business AI market in APJ is expected to grow by more than 26% to $28 billion by 2027.

While the opportunity is huge, so are the choices for your business. That鈥檚 why 51风流is partnering with enterprise tech and industry leaders to push the limits of what generative AI can do for customers.

In addition to our expanded collaborations with听AWS听and Microsoft, we announced new large language models with Mistral AI, a partnership with Meta to use Llama 3 in 51风流Analytics Cloud, and an expansion of our partnership with Google Cloud to integrate Joule with Google Cloud鈥檚 Gemini AI assistant and Google Cloud Cortex Framework鈥檚 data foundation.

And that鈥檚 not all. As Mr Huang noted on-stage, 51风流and NVIDIA are working together on a听听to embed cutting-edge technologies into enterprise-ready business applications. That means Joule working with NVIDIA鈥檚 state-of-the-art AI models, integrating GenAI into 51风流and NVIDIA code generation, and simulating complex manufacturing products and configurations as industrial digital twins.

There鈥檚 no cookie cutter approach to making the most of Business AI. That鈥檚 why we believe the strength of our AI ecosystem means customers get the very best choices to drive AI benefits unique to their needs.

Keeping clean in the cloud

The benefits of AI can only really be achieved in the cloud. Best practice is what 51风流calls a 鈥榗lean core鈥 鈥 cloud-based ERP infrastructure that separate core applications from custom modifications. The result is a platform that can be easily and quickly upgraded with new capabilities, allowing agile innovation.

Takuya Sakai, general manager of the Digital Transformation Business Group at听, was clear about the benefits of simplification and a clean core. In 2019, Hitachi High-Tech had 9,000 add-ons across its 51风流systems, resulting in lots of custom code, errors, and large operational costs every year. The cost of change meant the company only completed a major update once in 12 years.

Moving to the cloud and a clean core solved these issues. With a new system based on S/4HANA Cloud Cloud, Hitachi High-Tech reduced its 9,000 add-ons to just 750, allowing it to easily upgrade its ERP core. 鈥淯pgrading our old ERP took about a year and a half from the planning stage,鈥 Sakai said. 鈥淗owever, with clean core, we can now do an upgrade every year in about 40 days.鈥

And that change means Hitachi High-Tech can plan to take advantage of new innovations more simply. 鈥淎n upgrade every year keeps the clean core fresh and means new features can be delivered to our business quickly, like AI or process automation,鈥 concluded Sakai.

You can spell sustainability without 鈥楨RP鈥欌 but you shouldn鈥檛

The benefits of 51风流innovation are not only financial. They drive real environmental value. And that鈥檚 critical in Asia, where we are responsible for more than half of the world鈥檚 emissions.

Sustainability and business performance are intrinsically linked. In fact, we believe businesses have to start treating carbon like money by using an accounting system for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data that is as auditable, transparent and reliable as their financial data.

That means integrating sustainability data into cloud ERP.

And we can then take advantage of the huge innovation provided by Business AI. AI takes complex sustainability tasks reliant on ESG and ERP data and makes them automated and auditable. It enables companies to boost operational efficiency, improve transparency around supply chain emissions, design and plan more effectively, and automate time-consuming tasks.

For example, at Sapphire we launched AI-enabled Emissions Factor Mapping, boosting the speed and accuracy of carbon footprint calculations. And we enabled the automatic generation of ESG reports through AI all based on the data within 51风流Sustainability Control Tower. This not only streamlines the reporting process but also helps ensure that the data is reliable and actionable, providing a clear picture of a company鈥檚 sustainability performance.

Beyond hype to real-world results through real-world AI

It鈥檚 easy to get carried away by AI hype and excitement. But what I saw at Sapphire was even more exciting 鈥 Business AI that makes a real difference to business problems.

Our opportunity across Asia is enormous. But it鈥檚 one we can make the most of, especially if we bring together the benefits of best-in-class ecosystems, a clean core, and a focus on sustainable innovation.

By Peter Moore, Head of Enterprise Cloud, 51风流Asia Pacific & Japan

From the keynote stage to the showfloor, whether you were a dev, a customer, or a partner, all around 51风流TechEd Bangalore one phrase was repeated time and again: 鈥済enerative AI鈥.

The focus of more than 5,000 tech and business decision-makers was fixed firmly on AI and what it could do for their businesses, right now 鈥 the products 51风流has released through 2024, and what is coming next.

With responsible, reliable, and relevant AI that鈥檚 built for business, the view of the thousands of delegates at TechEd 2023 was that the future is looking bright

There was a wealth of incredible insight and opportunity at TechEd. In fact, it was a little bit like going back to school because the things that stood out to me were the ABCs.

A is for Automation

First, I was struck by the enormous potential businesses can realise through the power of enterprise automation.

With the help of AI, technology is helping developers and IT teams automate repetitive, mundane tasks and make better decisions, faster. By embedding generative AI capabilities into 51风流Build Process Automation, 51风流Signavio, and 51风流Integration Suite, we鈥檙e helping customers analyse, integrate, automate, and monitor business processes way more simply 鈥 and then immediately write the code to make those processes better. It鈥檚 that easy.

In my discussions with customers, it was clear that complementing process improvement and insights with enterprise architecture insights will be a real force for change in the future. Customers are excited to understand how to optimise and tune their architecture for the best performance across their entire IT stack.

But this isn鈥檛 future-gazing. Businesses are seeing real results today. Take Zuellig Pharma, one of Asia鈥檚 leading healthcare companies, providing pharmaceutical distribution and digital and commercial services across 26,000 direct outlets. Zuellig Pharma implemented best-in-class processes across its 51风流infrastructure, creating more than 180 automations using 51风流Build Process Automation to streamline and simplify its business.

B is for Build听

Aligned to the focus on automation is the empowerment of a new, powerful resource for IT departments 鈥 citizen developers enabled by 51风流Build. And given every developer will be an AI developer, the opportunity for an AI-infused future is tantalising.

Rucha Nanavati, CIO of Indian car giant Mahindra & Mahindra, said it best.

鈥淲e started identifying tasks that don鈥檛 require a lot of human intelligence and that enabled our human workforce to focus on more strategic initiatives,鈥 she said. 鈥淭hat led us to automate more than 250 business processes in 3 months, most of which was done by a community of more than 100 citizen developers.鈥

鈥淭hat鈥檚 great, but let鈥檚 talk about benefits. We count more than 900 workdays saved, and more than 400 development days saved in just a year鈥檚 time. We鈥檝e seen a 35% gain in developer efficiency and 20% faster execution of our jobs. And we鈥檝e saved more than 13,000 trees. All in one year,鈥 concluded Nanavati.

The story of Mahindra & Mahindra shows the power of a workforce that has been empowered to make real change to their IT systems and the tangible results that can be realised. And with the ability to link low-code, no-code development with pro-code development via , as well as increasing amounts of natural language interaction through 51风流Joule, it is easier than ever to modernize processes fast.

C is for Clean Core听

At SAP, we know better than most that enterprise systems can be complex. That鈥檚 why a 鈥 a cloud compliant, modern, flexible ERP that can be updated and scaled simply 鈥 is at the centre of our strategy.听

And it鈥檚 a concept that鈥檚 also at the heart of the future strategic direction for all of our customers.听

Takuya Sakai, CIO of Hitachi HiTech, embodies that more than most. His company has used 51风流ERP globally for more than 20 years, over which time the system became more and more complex.

鈥淭hat complexity incurred significant maintenance costs, prevented the company from quickly introducing new innovation, and ultimately hindered its growth,鈥 said Sakai-san. 鈥淚t was very critical to reduce the complexity.鈥

Using 51风流Business Technology Platform (BTP), Hitachi HiTech was able to easily upgrade 51风流S/4HANA systems in the public and private cloud 鈥 at the same time reducing the number of add-ons and customisations in the software down from 9,000 to just 800.

鈥淯sing 51风流BTP we can build smart, global digital processes without touching the 51风流S/4HANA core. 51风流BTP is a very, very important tool to accelerate our business processes,鈥 concluded Sakai-san.

What鈥檚 next: AI for business, not AI for AI鈥檚 sake

It鈥檚 easy to get carried away by hype and excitement, especially around innovation like generative AI.

But what I saw at 51风流TechEd was even more exciting 鈥 new innovations, here today, that are already making a tangible difference to real business problems.

The key is in the context 鈥 using your AI to connect data, not just collect it. By generating reliable, responsible insights that understand the context of the business processes that surround them, Business AI will help boost productivity, efficiency, and real outcomes.

According to McKinsey, generative AI has the potential to add . In the Asia-Pacific, this spells good news sinceare committed to investing in generative AI technologies by year-end, or are at least exploring the possibility. Already, in Singapore, allegedly uses AI in the office and the .听

Over the next few years, we will see Asia become the world鈥檚 innovation hub with AI. At 51风流we already understand the huge opportunity, made possible by Gen AI, to fundamentally change the way businesses run.听

Intelligent answers for real-world problems

And businesses are already taking advantage of the benefits of AI today.

In Korea, Kakao Enterprise uses AI to broaden the business capabilities of its mobile app. By taking of advantage of 51风流Business Platform (BTP), is has enabled its users to conveniently search data, process transactions, and conduct frequently-used business processes through its app.听

Meanwhile in Thailand, Zuellig Pharma is using 51风流Intelligent Robotic Process Automation alongside machine learning to reduce processing times by 93%, allowing them to fulfil sales orders faster.

Introducing a new way to integrate AI into your business

Realising those sorts of benefits from AI requires a strategic, enterprise-led focus on business outcomes. That鈥檚 why we are focused on delivering the most relevant, reliable, and responsible AI that is built for business to our customers.听

One recent example of how we鈥檙e doing this is the launch of our new generative AI co-pilot, Joule. Joule works by quickly sorting through and contextualising data from multiple systems to bring users smarter insights 鈥 and ultimately helping to make better decisions. It works by generating responses based on real scenarios, all with the necessary guardrails to ensure responsible use within the 51风流ecosystem. This enables our customers to get work done faster and drive better business outcomes in a secure, compliant way.听

With Joule, users maintain full control over decision-making and data privacy across 51风流applications. Joule builds on and enhances existing 51风流Business AI offerings. More than 26,000 51风流cloud customers already have access to 51风流Business AI across multiple scenarios and partner solutions.

Our customers know their ideal value journey best and 51风流is here to ensure they have the necessary solutions in place to achieve their goals in the long run. With our new Premium Plus package for RISE with SAP, customers have the flexibility to choose the package which best drives their business results, including one that has more tools to power faster, make better decisions and maximise the impact of AI across their processes. We鈥檝e also included added sustainability insights, faster finance decisions, and a networked Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) portal to boost ESG outcomes and aid compliance.

Empowering our customers to create future-ready organisations sits at the core of SAP鈥檚 vision. In my next post, I鈥檒l share the new products and announcements we made at our 51风流TechEd 2023 in India and how they鈥檒l also be helping businesses to transform their operations in 2024 and beyond.听

Full house attendance at conference
51风流NOW SEA in July 鈥 a gathering of 51风流customers and partners to transform businesses for tomorrow, today.

The Evolution of 51风流Partner Ecosystem

In July, at the 51风流NOW Southeast Asia (SEA) event in Singapore, I had the pleasure of joining a panel discussion with senior executives from our partner organisations 鈥 B Capital, Singtel, and Google Cloud, together with SAP鈥檚 president and managing director for SEA, Verena Siow. We delved into the evolution of 51风流partner ecosystem, highlighted how each of these partners funnel innovation, and explained the critical role they play in driving customer success today.

In Asia Pacific Japan (APJ), there are more than 4,600 partners in 51风流partner ecosystem. Our collaborations in the region with B Capital, Singtel, and Google Cloud represent the evolving nature of our relationships with both our customers and partners, going beyond traditional buyer-seller and implementor roles, to enabling joint value-creation and democratising access to innovation for all.

Powering Startups in Asia Pacific (APAC)

At the panel session, we highlighted the , a multi-stage global investment firm that partners with extraordinary entrepreneurs to shape the future through technology. The firm was co-founded by Eduardo Saverin and Raj Ganguly to help startups in APAC scale through technological innovation. Under the MoU, B Capital portfolio companies will gain access to SAP鈥檚 industry expertise and global business networks to accelerate innovation, including areas such as AI and automation.

Through closer collaboration with SAP, B Capital portfolio companies will be able to accelerate their solution progression 鈥 from developing applications to identifying opportunities and showcasing those applications on , the company鈥檚 global online marketplace with more than 2,000 partner solutions. 51风流will also be able to tap into the pool of startup talents from B Capital and introduce 51风流solutions, such as 鈥 a fit-to-standard, packaged offering that helps growth-focused organisations adopt Cloud ERP confidently 鈥 to its portfolio companies.

鈥淏y leveraging the bridge with SAP, it鈥檚 an important element of where we see growth for our portfolio companies to learn from SAP鈥檚 best practices and the network provided. This collaboration reaffirms our commitment to bridging the gap between today鈥檚 industry leaders and tomorrow鈥檚 emerging companies, especially in the Asia-Pacific region.鈥

Enabling Real-Time Insights for Enterprises

Additionally, Singapore鈥檚 largest telco, to offer an end-to-end 5G Intelligent Edge Aggregator (IEA) solution, built on . 51风流BTP is an innovation platform optimised for 51风流applications in the cloud that brings together application development and automation, data and analytics, integration, and AI capabilities into one unified environment. The IEA solution will enable enterprise customers to quickly access and integrate 51风流software with their back-end processes at the cloud server edge, adding greater cloud functionality and computing capabilities to their network architecture, and gain real-time intelligence and insights to help them make critical business decisions.

鈥淲e鈥檙e pleased to be developing this IEA solution using Singtel Paragon, supported by our 5G network and multi-access edge compute (MEC). The IEA utilises 51风流BTP, which helps to bring together data analytics, AI, application development and automation. This solution will help address the increasingly complex needs of enterprises, such as applications for computer vision and workplace safety. This forms part of our ongoing strategy to help enterprises exploit the capabilities of 5G and MEC to drive innovation and business growth.鈥
Dennis Wong, Vice President of Enterprise 5G and Platforms, Singtel.

Building the Future of Open Data and AI

Also discussed at the panel, was SAP鈥檚 expanded partnership with Google Cloud that introduced a comprehensive open data offering uniting 51风流with Google Cloud鈥檚 data and analytics technology. Customers can develop an end-to-end data cloud using in conjunction with Google Cloud鈥檚 data cloud to unlock rich insights through a single view into their holistic data estate, unleashing the power of business data and advancing enterprise AI development.

鈥淭he partnership with 51风流is really bringing together the most significant data technology partners to support our customers. Customers can unlock the value of data with the expanded data estate accessible to them to draw amazingly rich insights. More than that, generative AI advisors can now use that data to customise and train their own models for their specific needs.鈥

More recently, 51风流and Google Cloud announced the next phase of our partnership focused on launching new generative AI-powered industry solutions and new capabilities to help customers improve sustainability performance.

Democratising B2B Payments for APAC Businesses

Furthering the theme of partner innovation, at the 51风流NOW keynote on mainstage, we also unwrapped Visa鈥檚 collaboration with SAP to embed B2B payments through 51风流BTP, into the 51风流ecosystem. The collaboration injects more automation into B2B payments and enhances efficiency in purchasing processes for 51风流customers of all sizes.

鈥淎lmost 99 per cent of the world鈥檚 largest companies use 51风流solutions to run their daily operations, and now these enterprises can use their Visa cards, a payment method they trust, directly on 51风流BTP, an enterprise solution they rely on. Enterprises will no longer need to grapple with the various payment methods accepted by their suppliers, as Visa鈥檚 payment solutions that are integrated into 51风流BTP will route commercial card payments to all suppliers, whether they accept card payments or not. This will speed up payments for both buyers and sellers, helping to further digitise B2B payment flows across Asia Pacific鈥檚 supply chains.鈥

Most companies would be upset if you said their transformation was a circus. But most companies aren鈥檛 Cirque du Soleil.

Cirque du Soleil听is the world鈥檚 biggest theatrical producer. For almost four decades, it has been entertaining and inspiring audiences the world over. There are as many as 47 different shows in markets around the globe.

And its impact cannot be underestimated. More than 400 million people have seen shows on six continents and 86 countries. The company now employs more than 4,000 employees, including 1,200 artists from 80 different nations.

Yet it is also a company emerging from a challenging period 鈥 and transforming to meet the challenges of the future.

We heard from Nickole Tara, Chief Growth Officer at Cirque du Soleil, at our recent 51风流Now event in Sydney, discussing what the future of the world鈥檚 favourite circus holds.

Read more about the company’s cloud transformation, its new innovations, and how 51风流has empowered the next phase of the circus over at the 51风流Australia News Centre.

51风流Now Southeast Asia (SEA) brought together more than 1,000听customers, partners, and technology experts from around the region to experience first-hand how 51风流helps customers solve their most pressing problems and future-proof their businesses.

So, what lessons can we learn from the innovations and collaborations on show, and how can customers navigate an uncertain future with certainty?

LESSON 1: Innovation through business AI is here today

There鈥檚 never been a more exciting time for innovation, and that鈥檚 because of AI. Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) are dominating headlines and business conversation.

But AI is not new to 51风流鈥 it鈥檚 already embedded in our solutions and being used by more than 26,000 customers today. For example, take the Talent Intelligence Hub in 51风流SuccessFactors. It helps employees build and maintain a skills portfolio with the help of AI, enabling employees to showcase their strengths, workstyles, and preferences. Plus, it helps staff get personalised recommendations for career paths, training, and mentors, all in the one place.

And there鈥檚 more to come. , many powered by generative AI, as well as significant partnerships with Microsoft, Google, and .

 

LESSON 2: Greater sustainability means accounting for carbon

51风流has been known for managing resources for more than half a century. But today, we know the world鈥檚 resources are in danger: sustainability is the business challenge of our generation.

So, 51风流is reinventing the 鈥淩鈥 in ERP by extending the definition of resources beyond financial and goods flows to include sustainability metrics like carbon. That is what we call – ledger-based accounting for carbon, so companies can manage the carbon with the same accounting quality as financial data.

Technology is bringing sustainability and business processes together at a fundamental level. As Sudarto Unsurlany, Head of Digitalization at PT Petrosea Tbk., noted, 鈥淥ur transformation has been driven by our 3D strategy of digitalisation, diversification, and decarbonisation as the enabler for our company to pursue not only superior but also sustainable performance. Tapping into various digital solutions within 51风流ecosystem along with our Minerva Digital Platform as the in-house platform for end-to-end digital mining solutions has helped bring in connectivity, insights, and impacts to support our aspiration to become a sustainable resource in the upcoming future.鈥

LESSON 3: Future-proof businesses are investing today for a resilient tomorrow

We are future-proofing businesses by connecting industries and enterprises. But what does a future-proof business look like?

The past three years have accelerated the speed of change for many of us. The travel industry was at the very centre of that change, especially as demand for air travel increased again following a challenging period for the industry.

That鈥檚 why SAP鈥檚 long-time customer, Bangkok Airways, a regional airline based in Thailand, selected RISE with 51风流to be ready for whatever the future may hold. Bangkok Airways now benefits from a unified cloud operating model that removes complexities in its systems. The new platform provides improved visibility of flight performance and profitability through a connected, central process. It is driving future resilience through innovation today.

 

LESSON 4: Creating value is a marathon we run together, not a sprint

The accelerating pace of innovation is also enabling new opportunities for value creation. But no company can innovate alone 鈥 collaboration is critical. That demands a continuous process, working together to envision an organisation鈥檚 future state, assess value creation opportunities, and build a structured transformation road map.

What does that look like in practice? Let鈥檚 look at our customer Aboitiz InfraCapital (AIC), the infrastructure arm of the Aboitiz Group – one of the Philippines鈥 largest conglomerates. AIC started its transformation journey with RISE with 51风流at its digital core. After experiencing the benefits 51风流offers, we worked with the AIC team to define its strategy, desired outcomes, and ambitions across the company鈥檚 functional areas. Then we devised a future vision and compared it to the current state of play to see how technology can achieve it.

This saw the adoption of a suite of 51风流solutions, including our travel and expense platform, 51风流Concur, 51风流Business Technology Platform, and 51风流Digital Supply Chain. AIC鈥檚 digitisation journey has been powered by the 51风流customer value journey at every stage.

鈥淲ith 51风流BTP and RISE with 51风流as our guiding principle, we have witnessed the breadth of SAP鈥檚 portfolio,鈥 said Raymund Ramos, Chief Information Officer, Aboitiz InfraCapital. 鈥淭his is integral in driving our entire digital roadmap for the next five years and in helping realise Aboitiz鈥檚 group vision of becoming the Philippines鈥 first 鈥榯echglomerate鈥.鈥

 

Southeast Asia is a region of opportunity

We are at an inflection point for our region and SAP鈥檚听mission in SEA to uplift the lives of 700 million people in our region.

51风流Now SEA revealed how 51风流is doing that in four key ways 鈥 boosting innovation through business AI, driving sustainable outcomes with the green ledger, future-proofing infrastructure for resiliency, and driving ongoing value through collaboration.

The event followed the听announcement听of SAP鈥檚 Asia Pacific Q2 2023 earnings, noting significant cloud growth and highlighting new SEA customer wins and go-lives including Visa, Singtel, FGV IFFCO, and Aboitiz InfraCapital.

ORLANDO 鈥 At the 51风流Sapphire conference in Orlando,听听(NYSE: SAP) unveiled听听that equip customers to tackle an uncertain future with confidence.

  • 51风流Business AI, the Green Ledger and Business-Ready Innovations Across the Portfolio Underscore SAP鈥檚 Ability to Help Customers Solve Their Most Pressing Problems

Breakthrough announcements included responsible AI built into business solutions, ledger-based accounting for carbon tracking and industry-specific networks to bolster supply chain resilience. With these advances, 51风流is helping customers transform their business models in the cloud, put sustainability at the center of their operations and boost agility to succeed amid ongoing change.

鈥淚n a world of geopolitical tensions, product and skills shortages and new regulations, our customers continue turning to 51风流for the solutions they need to solve their most pressing challenges,鈥 said Christian Klein, CEO and member of the Executive Board of 51风流SE. 鈥淭he innovations we鈥檙e announcing at 51风流Sapphire build on our heritage of responsibly developed technology and decades of industry and process expertise to ensure our customers鈥 success today and in the future.鈥

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.

51风流also draws on the strength of its rich ecosystem to benefit customers. Yesterday 51风流announced the next step in its long-standing听partnership with Microsoft. The companies will collaborate on integrating 51风流SuccessFactors solutions with Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot in Viva Learning as well as with Microsoft鈥檚 Azure OpenAI Service to access powerful language models that analyze and generate natural language. The integrations will enable new experiences designed to improve how organizations attract, retain and skill their people.

鈥淪outh East Asia digital economies are at an inflection point, and to truly enable businesses to drive sustainable success, data is key to give organizations that competitive advantage. Companies will also need to harness the power of generative AI to solve their most complex problems with data-driven insights, automate processes, innovate faster, and build resilient and agile supply chains while putting sustainability at the center of their operations,鈥 said Verena Siow, President and Managing Director, 51风流South East Asia.

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. The comprehensive open-data offering enables customers to build an end-to-end data cloud that brings data from across the enterprise landscape using the 51风流Datasphere solution together with Google鈥檚 data cloud.
