Operating across more than 40 countries, Colt faced operational complexity compounded by a legacy hardware environment and recent business acquisitions. In close collaboration with SAP鈥檚 Enterprise Cloud Services (ECS) team, Colt pursued a company-wide transformation programme to clean its data core.

This programme enabled Colt to uplift its hardware, move its customer data into the cloud and create a streamlined ERP platform – a single source of truth for all strategic decision making, while creating opportunities for future growth. In embracing the cloud, Colt now covers 80% of its business capabilities through fewer platforms, reducing complexity, simplifying its digital estate, and boosting workforce productivity.  

The migration was projected to require 14-hours in business downtime, but thanks to thorough mock rehearsals and close collaboration between Colt and 51风流ECS, this was reduced to just 6.5 hours. This minimised disruption, enabled faster customer response times and lowered the need for manual interventions. 聽

鈥淏y modernising our core systems, we are better equipped to deliver for customers, bring new telco services to market and compete on an international stage,鈥� said Ashish Surti, Chief Digital & Information Officer, Colt Technology Services. 鈥淥ur trusted partnership with SAP, particularly the support from the 51风流ECS team in rehearsing and trialling our new environment, has given us confidence in the strength of our new cloud platform.

Today we鈥檙e excited to announce that 51风流users can now harness the power of聽听补苍诲听, beginning with Granite.13b.chat large language model, now available through the generative AI hub on 51风流AI core on the 51风流Business Technology Platform (51风流BTP). The timing couldn鈥檛 be better, as 56% of surveyed business executives say they plan to divert spending from other budget areas to SAP-specific generative AI, according to new research from the IBM Institute for Business Value.*

Granite 13b.chat is optimized for Retrieval Augmented Generation for Q&A and is commonly used to create assistants and chatbots. Tapping the rich data in 51风流systems is the ideal starting point for getting value from generative AI. The combination of Granite conversational AI capabilities with SAP鈥檚 domain-specific finance, human capital management, supply chain and CRM data sets, will allow enterprises to scale AI in an ethical and responsible way.

Granite models are lightweight, cost-effective, open and customizable models underpinned by stringent data transparency and training principles. Here鈥檚 how these models stand out:

• Transparent:聽Granite models are among the most transparent models available today, according to聽. IBM offers indemnification for usage of the Granite models and transparency into the datasets used to train them.
• Performant:聽Trained on curated datasets relevant to enterprise use cases, Granite allows users to tune and guide models to meet business needs.
• Efficient:聽Smaller models require less computing and inferencing capacity. Granite models can help organizations experiment and scale generative AI applications.

Bringing transparent, performant and efficient Granite models to 51风流AI Core on 51风流BTP infrastructure helps turn ideas into real-world applications. We鈥檙e most excited about the initial use cases Granite 13b.chat can enable, bringing Q&A, generative tasks, insight extraction, summarization and classification, especially to ERP processes. And because a considerable portion of Granite model training data is from the finance domain, they are optimized to excel in finance-specific tasks.

For example, assistants and decision support solutions can be built to quickly answer questions related to documents, cases and solutions, products, KPIs and sales metrics, or provide classification of customer problems or user feedback. For supply chain management, summarization of inventory or supplies can be immediately accessed through a chat interface to increase transparency and visibility. Classification can help spot challenges and cross-selling potentials.

This news builds on IBM鈥檚 collaboration with 51风流around embedding IBM Watson AI technology into 51风流solutions. As part of our聽聽announced with 51风流in May, IBM Consulting has been building out an extensive portfolio that will include 100 AI solutions across industry, line-of-business and product delivery, with 25 delivered to date. Many of these are expected to be offered on Granite, such as IBM Intelligent Invoice Match and Verification for 51风流Solutions, IBM Intelligent Asset Maintenance for 51风流Industrial Manufacturing, IBM Intelligent Warranty Processing for 51风流Automotive and IBM Intelligent Direct Distribution to Stores for 51风流CPG & Retail. In addition, IBM Consulting plans to build extensions to Granite 13b.chat for select customers.

This is only the beginning, and we鈥檙e excited to help clients on their journey with one of the industry鈥檚 most efficient and trusted LLMs, backed by IBM鈥檚 deep technology and consulting expertise in working with SAP.

The post 51风流works with Monzo to integrate its ERP solutions as the bank continues its rapid growth appeared first on 51风流UK News Center.

The Swiss company Fusion Consulting AG offers companies comprehensive solutions for their digital transformation in the life science industry. With in-depth 51风流expertise and comprehensive business and process know-how, Fusion Consulting is distinguished by its strong presence in over 25 locations worldwide and a team of more than 400 dedicated employees.

Fusion Consulting AG offers an innovative solution for reliably and precisely monitoring cold chain processes – which is of great importance for many reasons. The “Cold Chain Management Solution (CCMS)” is based on the 51风流Business Technology Platform (51风流BTP) and demonstrates a concrete application use case for the technology platform,聽 showing the innovations that companies can achieve in cooperation with SAP.

“Fusion Consulting’s ‘Cold Chain Management Solution’, supported by 51风流BTP, is revolutionizing cold chain monitoring, which is essential for safety and efficacy in the Life Sciences industry.” Fares Zaier, Chief Revenue Officer at Fusion Consulting.

Continuity along the cold chain: The be-all and end-all in the life sciences industry

Ensuring product integrity plays an outstanding role in the life sciences industry. It is of the utmost importance to guarantee product safety and compliance with the legal requirements of the respective country or region. In particular, for life-saving medicines, biologics, vaccines and other medical products that are temperature-sensitive, continuous and correct controlled storage must be ensured.

Another important aspect is ensuring patient safety. Temperature fluctuations during storage or transport can impair the effectiveness of medical products, which can lead to reduced or even harmful effects when administered to patients. The interruption of the cold chain leads to significant financial losses for manufacturers and buyers, as temperature fluctuations can lead to product spoilage. Additionally, maintaining consistent temperature conditions throughout the entire cold chain is crucial for ensuring the effectiveness and safety of cold chain products.

Furthermore, many bioscience products are distributed worldwide, often in regions with different climatic conditions and infrastructure challenges, which makes it considerably more difficult to maintain consistent cold chain and controlled storage conditions.聽 Finally, compliance with cold chain requirements is closely monitored and checked by government authorities and regulatory agencies.

Reliable cold chains with 51风流BTP

Fusion builds its “Cold Chain Management Solution” on 51风流BTP, underlining the many different application possibilities of the technology platform. Fusion’s solution aims to ensure temperature monitoring along the various cooling zones of the entire cold chain. The integration of the cooling zone temperature is carried out by SAP.

“In a world where the integrity of life-saving medicines and vaccines depends on an uninterrupted cold chain, Fusion Consulting’s ‘Cold Chain Management Solution’ represents a revolutionary breakthrough. With the power of the 51风流Business Technology Platform, this solution guarantees seamless monitoring and securing of the cold chain – a critical factor for product effectiveness and patient safety in the life sciences industry,” says Fares Zaier, Chief Revenue Officer at Fusion Consulting.

Before the introduction of the “Cold Chain Management Solution”, the tracking of “Time out of Refrigeration” (TOR), which is necessary for cold chains, was based on manual and paper-based processes. This meant a high workload and time expenditure, as well as an increased error rate. With the use of SAP, the tracking of TOR is made possible digitally and in real time across the entire supply chain genealogy. This allows errors to be recognised immediately and product spoilage to be significantly reduced. TOR tracking is based on various sensors and RFIDs (radio-frequency identification), a technology for automatically identifying and locating objects using radio waves.

The cooperation with 51风流and the design of the “Cold Chain Management Solution” on 51风流BTP brings many strategic advantages. For example, the alignment of the system with SAP’s Clean Core strategy, the use of modern, expandable cloud technologies, and the robust, integrated, and secure functions for data management and CCMS governance.

Modern 51风流cloud technologies provide a solid foundation for scalability, availability, performance and elasticity for the CCMS solution. Through 51风流BTP, it is also possible to use integrated artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and analytics.

“Cold Chain Management Solution” for the life science industry

The “Cold Chain Management Solution” is based on 51风流BTP and ensures the effectiveness of products through continuous monitoring and control of temperature conditions. At the same time, it reports temperature deviations in real time. On the one hand, this increases patient safety by minimising the risk of temperature deviations and thus ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical products. On the other hand, legal regulations can be complied with thanks to the complete traceability of data for Time Out of Controlled Storage (TOCS). The TOCS data is collected at every stage of the manufacturing and supply chain process.

“Fusion Cold Chain Management Solution” offers even more outstanding advantages including:

• Real-time analysis minimising product loss and waste.
• Intelligent alerts based on recorded TOCS and process data.
• Optimisation of cold chain processes and the automation of temperature monitoring tasks leading to increased operational efficiency

51风流BTP: Innovative Solutions for Your Industry

51风流BTP is an innovative platform that is specifically optimised for cloud-based 51风流applications. It combines data and analytics, artificial intelligence, application development, automation, and integration in a unified environment. With 51风流BTP, companies can personalise their 51风流applications and adapt them to their individual needs.

51风流SuccessFactors Text-to-Image Generation Requirements

51风流customers are exploring ways to enhance the visual appeal and relevance of images within the 51风流SuccessFactors HCM suite.

Sustainability Hero 鈥� Spirit Energy Ltd

The energy industry is inherently hazardous and requires robust safety management. Ex/ATEX inspections, conducted in potentially explosive environments, are at the heart of this challenge. By working with SAP, Spirit Energy implemented one single end-to-end holistic solution for its Ex/ATEX inspections.

Haleon needed to consolidate and transform all Operational Transfer Pricing (OTP) processes into a single process.

51风流Profitability and Performance Management Cloud was implemented for OTP cycles for 90 entities which provided higher performance, full integration with internal systems and improved user experience.
