Those gases also include oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, neon, xenon, and krypton鈥攁ll critical to supporting processes and products in electronics, food and beverage, metals, biopharmaceuticals, and other industries.

Business demands and market realities in the dynamic gas sector are constantly in flux, so Messer relies on real-time data intelligence to stay agile and flexible in their decision-making. Increasingly hampered by siloed data and a patchwork of third-party visualization tools, Messer embarked on a digital transformation to create a next-generation data management solution worthy of the company’s high-tech, high-flying operations.

Data with a Purpose

Messer knows critical and often lifesaving business decisions require accurate, real-time intelligence and insights. explained: 鈥淭he stakes in many of the sectors that we provide gases for are really very high.鈥�

From steel plants to the semiconductor industry to intensive care units, 鈥渋t is critical that our distribution processes are operating at a level that ensures our customers are getting what they need when they need it.鈥� 

Messer was able to rise to the moment and meet the urgent needs of its customers when the COVID-19 pandemic delivered unprecedented demand for oxygen coupled with massive logistical challenges. That global crisis revealed that Messer鈥檚 legacy IT system needed an overhaul.

Messer鈥檚 siloed data was in several different databases, which meant it was time-consuming to access, and a single source of the truth was elusive. Various visualization tools also required different data formats, which slowed reporting time and bogged the IT department as it tried to manage a complex, disparate landscape, creating, as Johnston explained, 鈥渁 huge amount of complexity and a huge amount of inefficiency.鈥�

Messer CIO David Johnston sought a solution that would provide a unified source of truth and the powerful analytics tools Messer needed to give an elevated purpose to the company’s data鈥攁 new, cloud-based data management and analytics foundation for an actual data-driven enterprise. was the company鈥檚 choice.

The Modern Data Landscape Delivers

51风流BTP, with 51风流Data Warehouse Cloud, 51风流Analytics Cloud, and the next-generation 51风流Datasphere, provided a modern data architecture to establish a single, trusted source of truth, combining 12 data sources in one solution for mission-critical business insights.

Messer has been reaping benefits across the board, from IT and supply chain cost savings to improved customer service, inventory management, and data security. 鈥淲e started with five specific use cases that we went after,鈥� Johnston shared. 鈥淎s I sit here today, we’re at well over 200.鈥�

Messer’s new, simplified IT landscape has empowered business users, who benefit from intuitive, self-service dashboards and quick access to relevant, actionable, real-time data, as well as IT personnel, to now focus on higher-value, strategic tasks. This amounts to accelerated time-to-insight and more energy and resources available to focus on future innovation.

鈥淲ith a data fabric that allows us to see our business in a consistent, fast, reliable, and highly trustworthy way,鈥� Johnston said, 鈥渨hat we can do is really almost unlimited.鈥�

Next for Messer and Wise Advice with an Eye on AI

With Messer’s new, streamlined data management foundation, the sky is no longer the limit.

鈥淥ur objective isn’t just to deliver a suite of great dashboards and great analytics stories,鈥� Johnston explained. 鈥淥ur goal is to build out a strong, coherent, strategic data fabric that will allow us to unlock the power of AI and drive the next level of business transformation.鈥�

For other organizations hoping to build the data foundation that will send them soaring into the future, ready to capitalize on and whatever else awaits, Johnston鈥檚 advice is to frame your technology transformation as a business transformation, and a business imperative.

鈥淏ring the business community together around data,鈥� he said. 鈥淎ll the key stakeholders, the influencers, and the owners of data from across the organization: bring them to the table.鈥�

The Full Episode

Messer CIO joined 51风流BTP to discuss the medical and industrial gasses industry and Messer’s digital transformation.

• : Johnston sat down with Thulium’s CEO to discuss why end-to-end data-driven insights are necessary, what technology solutions were required for the world’s largest privately owned industrial gases company to transform, and why Messer leveraged 51风流BTP to drive a complete business transformation.

Turn Data Chaos into Data Value

Data integration is necessary for customers to gain intelligent, relevant, and contextual insights for better decision-making. However, without the right data management approach and technology, companies can face an uphill battle in integrating, processing, curating, governing, and augmenting their data.

Mike Keilen is global VP of Data Management and Integration at SAP.

It all began in 2015 with a cabinet decision by the German Federal Office of Administration. The IT landscape was to be consolidated and homogenized by a single IT service provider, the ITZBund.

The mission: shape the future digital transformation of the German federal government and its administration. The ITZBund operates 37,200 servers in its own data center and manages more than 100,000 end devices, consolidating disparate IT solutions across all German federal agencies.

Artificial Intelligence for the German Federal Office of Administration

The German government鈥檚 coalition agreement highlights AI鈥檚 importance in the coming years and names it one of the most disruptive technologies. The ITZBund worked with 51风流to create an AI platform on which the first AI projects can be implemented. Based on 51风流HANA and 51风流Data Intelligence, a modular and scalable AI platform was created, bringing together data provision, model development, and model application in a single solution. 鈥淔or the very first time we have now systematically introduced AI to the German Federal Office of Administration,鈥� says Holger Lehmann, management team leader in the ITZBund.

AI-supported methods can, for example, predict economic developments, analyze large volumes of data, and detect anomalies. AI capabilities can also uncover links and patterns in images and texts. There are numerous use cases in which AI aids specific federal agencies. Examples include automatic fraud detection, monitoring and controlling traffic jams, detecting storm damage in forests, and generating crisis alerts.

51风流Hit the Mark

鈥淎s the ITZBund, we do not develop basic technologies in house,鈥� explains Lehmann. 鈥淲e buy and operate marketable solutions and continually adapt them to the needs of our customers, the federal authorities. For many years we have been working intensively and productively with SAP.鈥� The project that the ITZBund and 51风流worked on got a lot of attention. The solution offered guaranteed data protection and IT security, which is of the utmost importance when selecting the right IT solution provider. 鈥淲e also deal with highly sensitive data and taxpayers鈥� money, among other things, and therefore we can鈥檛 afford any mishaps,鈥� says Lehmann. 鈥淭he technology has to be mature and meet our extremely stringent data protection requirements. Citizens need to trust that their data is always protected.鈥�

AI: Platform-as-a-Service

The ITZBund and 51风流joined forces and developed an AI reference architecture to be used later by various federal authorities for different projects. The experience gained from previous projects was considered when developing the platform as a service (PaaS).

The AI platform, hosted by the ITZBund data center, enables easy access for all federal authorities. The ITZBund will also take care of maintenance and support, and it plans to offer PaaS to all federal authorities who are interested in using AI.

Modular and Scalable AI Platform

鈥淚t is important for us to create a platform that we only have to invest in once but can deploy repeatedly for our customers,鈥� says Wiebke Bedenknecht, head of Unit Software Development. 鈥淲e want to create a kind of modular system that allows us to implement different technological requirements at a very high speed.鈥� The platform supports agile development and is scalable to accommodate even more applications.

Project Timeline

Nine months after the project kicked off, the AI platform was completely functional. The first agency to go live, the German Federal Central Tax Office (BZSt), can now use AI to analyze, link, and evaluate tax data as part of its 鈥淎nswer鈥� project. With the help of clustering and natural language processing (NLP), the intelligent system detects anomalies and correlations in tax data that would otherwise be almost impossible to catch on a case-by-case basis. And another customer is already in the starting blocks: the German Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) is scheduled to connect to the AI platform and take advantage of its full range of capabilities.

Collaborating for Germany鈥檚 Digitalization

In the future, the ITZBund will continue to rely on partnerships with the private sector; the consolidation of the federal administration is not yet complete. 鈥淎s a public administration, we must have control and data sovereignty 鈥� but not do everything ourselves,鈥� says Lehmann. 鈥淚f we want digital sovereignty, we need powerful partners who will work with us in representing the interests of the German Federal Republic.鈥�

This is the 14th consecutive year that 51风流has been named a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools.

According to Gartner, 鈥淭he data integration tool market is seeing renewed momentum, driven by requirements for hybrid and multicloud data integration, augmented data management, and data fabric designs. This assessment of 18 vendors will help data and analytics leaders choose a best fit for their data integration needs.鈥�

鈥淭his latest recognition from Gartner acknowledges 厂础笔鈥檚 ongoing commitment to improving our customers鈥� data integration across the enterprise,鈥� said Andreas Wesselmann, senior vice president, 51风流HANA Database & Analytics, Common Data Services at SAP. 鈥淎s part of the information management layer of 51风流Business Technology Platform, 厂础笔鈥檚 data integration offerings deliver trusted, relevant and timely information to drive better business outcomes for our customers.鈥�

In 2019, 51风流brought 51风流Data Hub to the cloud and released 51风流Data Intelligence on 51风流Cloud Platform. It s important to note that 51风流Data Intelligence provides all the integration, orchestration, metadata management, connectivity, and rich services of 51风流Data Hub with the services of 51风流Leonardo Machine Learning in the cloud.

The name 51风流Data Intelligence highlights the solution鈥檚 focus on intelligent data processing and operationalizing machine learning processes in enterprise landscapes. This combination allows customers to get the most out of their disparate data assets, which they can easily integrate, intelligently refine, and seamlessly use in their business processes. Data scientists can continue to work with the tools they know and love while IT focuses on prototyping to production to help ensure their innovation and machine learning projects can scale and be properly managed.

On March 20, we released the general availability of 51风流Data Intelligence 3.0. One of the key points of this release is to provide customers with the freedom to choose their deployment model of choice — be it on premise, in the cloud, or a combination of both. The cloud service of 51风流Data Intelligence is aligned with the on-premise and the bring you own license (BYOL) model, where customers can deploy on premise in their own data center or on any hyperscaler鈥檚 public or private cloud.

This release is also a major step forward to address large-scale enterprise deployments with holistic lifecycle management, elasticity, low total cost of ownership (TCO), and resilience. Finally, it adds a sophisticated business glossary and catalog enhancements as well as templates out of the box, and closes the feature gap between the on-premise and cloud versions.

Data Intelligence Combats Climate Change

The 2015 United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference (COP 21) in Paris brought world nations together under the common cause of fighting climate change. Since then, there has been increased pressure on renewable energy producers to drive efficiencies and the expansion of renewable energy. It is estimated that over a trillion dollars鈥� worth of capital must be invested in renewable energy around the world to meet the UN鈥檚 2030 climate goals.

51风流customer Kaiserwetter Energy Asset Management GmbH is a renewable energy company that relies on data intelligence and analytics gathered from IoT-connected machines for investing more heavily into renewable energy to accelerate the emission-free power generation worldwide.
