London, UK 鈥 February 19 2026 – (NYSE: SAP) today announced that the 51风流Emarsys solution has been renamed to reflecting SAP鈥檚 strategy to make engagement a core enterprise capability across the 51风流portfolio.

51风流is recognised in the 2026 Gartner庐 Magic Quadrant™ for Personalisation Engines. 51风流Engagement Cloud now brings SAP鈥檚 trusted enterprise backbone to the customer experience, enabling organisations to connect customer insight and operational execution in real time. It builds on market-leading personalisation capabilities.

51风流Engagement Cloud also incorporates AI鈥慹nabled insight to support responsible, efficient scaling of personalised engagement.

As part of this evolution, 51风流also announced 51风流Engagement Cloud, enterprise edition, which provides advanced administration, governance, and content and data鈥慶ontrol capabilities for organisations operating across multiple brands, regions, and teams.

鈥淭his approach helps organisations maintain consistency, compliance, and brand standards globally, which is increasingly important in an age of AI decision-making and automation, while also staying responsive to local needs,鈥 said Joanna Milliken, Head of 51风流Engagement Cloud.

For example, a global consumer goods company operating dozens of brands and regional teams can manage engagement roles, permissions, and data centrally while allowing local teams to execute the relevant interactions. When inventory levels, fulfillment delays, or service disruptions occur, engagement can adapt without manual coordination across disconnected systems.

Existing capabilities of the 51风流Emarsys solution remain available within 51风流Engagement Cloud. Customers can adopt new capabilities incrementally, based on their priorities and readiness. 51风流Engagement Cloud, enterprise edition, will be available beginning February 19, with additional innovations delivered through SAP鈥檚 innovation road map.

London, UK 鈥 April 12, 2024 鈥 51风流today announces the winners of its 2024 51风流Customer Success Awards for UKI, which celebrate the future-minded businesses that have harnessed 51风流technology to showcase new ways of thinking and set the benchmark for their industry, ultimately making the world run better.

The 2024 awards recognised the following organisations who are at the forefront of driving innovation, transformation, and environmental impact in today鈥檚 economy:

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.

The new solution has automated several critical processes, minimising the risk of human error. It has streamlined the cumbersome nine step Ex/ATEX inspection process into four simple steps. These improvements have contributed towards regulatory compliance and improved health and safety of staff, paving the way for industry-wide change.

Industry Leader 鈥 Haleon

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. This eliminated the need for manual work by automating key aspects of the process. 听This deployment has redefined how Haleon operates its new transfer pricing cycle and is being discussed at board level amongst the Healthcare sector.

Transformation Titan 鈥 Accenture

Accenture has grown exponentially which directly impacts its financial business. Making timely and informed decisions, mitigating financial risks, and optimising financial operational support are key challenges for its finance business users.

Accenture developed an Interactive Finance Narrative Generator solution that harnesses 51风流solutions, human collaboration, and AI technology. This enables Accenture to focus on analysing and identifying key insights from reports, accelerating key financial close milestones and improving timeliness, accuracy and productivity.

Business Innovator 鈥 Touchlight Genetics

After 16 years as a manufacturing and R&D organisation, Touchlight developed a commercial platform which revolutionised the supply of synthetic DNA. It required an ERP solution to enable expansion to meet global demand. The system needed to adhere to the good manufacturing practice capabilities, validation, and traceability requirements of pharmaceutical regulatory bodies.

Touchlight implemented 51风流S/4HANA Cloud to undergo a full digital transformation to replace all non-integrated applications and provide real time visibility. This sets the foundation for Touchlight to become an intelligent enterprise.

Experience Wizard 鈥 Vodafone Group

Vodafone has revamped its operations to become the best-in-class Telco for Europe and Africa and Europe鈥檚 leading platform for business. To achieve this, it needed to transform its learning, talent, leadership, and skills-resourcing. It launched a new strategy and organisation, the Vodafone Learning Company, and Grow with Vodafone.

As part of its Grow with Vodafone project, Vodafone implemented 51风流SuccessFactors fully integrated talent suite. This solution has positively impacted employee loyalty, advocacy, and talent progression. Increased engagement also correlated with more lateral role changes and promotions, fostering career progression.

Service Supernova 鈥 Inchcape plc

Inchcape needed to modernise its global IT landscape. It had high-growth targets and external supply chain challenges to deal with.

Using RISE with SAP, Inchcape standardised its IT landscape, creating a technology foundation that supports its continued rapid growth. Since implementing RISE, Inchcape has improved efficiency and collaboration, leading to a better employee experience, and greater compliance.

Ryan Poggi, Managing Director, 51风流UK & Ireland said: 鈥淥ur customers in the UKI have made incredible achievements this year. They are at the forefront of driving innovation, within their industries and on a global scale. In times of economic uncertainty, this collaboration and continued transformation enables them to build resilient businesses. Congratulations to our winners and finalists, and a big thank you to our judges for their continued support.鈥

We ask a lot from our Public Sector Technology Leaders. Two years ago, in response to COVID-19, they rapidly delivered remote working capabilities for the largest employee group in the UK, a group which includes many essential workers. Today, they are being asked to enable new hybrid ways of working alongside responding to a greater demand for digital services from UK citizens.

Partly in response to these challenges, the UK government recently launched its Shared Services Strategy. The Strategy is designed to introduce more agile back-office technology systems and to bring together core functions across Government organisations into a single simplified centre. The goal is to reduce inefficiencies, remove technical debt, introduce advances in technology and improve the working experience overall, as employees will have more time and ability to focus on higher value work.

Once again, Public Sector Technology Leaders are stepping forward to deliver these advances. To realise the Government鈥檚 strategy, old processes and supplier partnerships need to be re-evaluated and new ones put in place. It鈥檚 another major transformation programme for organisations and it has no UK precedent. Fortunately, there are public sector organisations in other parts of the world who have undergone similar successful transformation programmes, leveraging out of the box cloud technologies who can show the way forward.

The DFO takes the journey from 鈥極racle to SAP鈥

Take for example, the recent digital transformation of Canada鈥檚 Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). The Department comprises of several agencies including oceans, wildlife, and waterways and providing services like dredging and ice breaking, hydrographic mapping, selling fishing licences and maintaining the coastguard service.

Since 2001, the DFO had been working with an on-premise Oracle financial management solution. Over the past 20 years, it had been attempting to update its processes and analytics capabilities by layering on technology and building workarounds. But gaps in functionality persisted and maintaining process across several systems put its continued operations at risk from a controlling and reporting perspective. This exasperated maintenance workers and resulted in higher support costs. It was time for a new solution – one fit for purpose for the agile, modern organisation.

Enter SAP

The DFO chose 51风流to lead its digital transformation programme, replacing the Oracle system with SAP鈥檚 modern cloud solution. In fact, for most organisations, SAP鈥檚 scalability and robust functionality, along with its streamlined implementation process and experience with Public Sector digital transformation programmes makes shifting from legacy Oracle on-prem to 51风流Cloud services an easier, more cost effective and faster process than moving to Oracle Cloud.

The DFO recognised many benefits from the 51风流solution and its implementation, notably including:

An out-of-the-box solution: SAP鈥檚 preconfigured processes were already aligned to the needs of Public Sector organisation which meant that 80% of the DFO鈥檚 standard needs could be adopted 鈥榦ut of the box鈥. This was critical because the DFO project was part of a wider program of additional shared services clusters, all using the same templated approach.

A modular rollout approach: Where configuration and/or prioritisation was required, SAP鈥檚 unique modular rollout approach let the organisation 鈥榩ick and mix鈥 modules. For the DFO, this meant addressing its biggest pain points and greatest issues first. This helped the organisation realise quick wins and show clear business outcomes almost from the beginning.

Identifying and eliminating risks: 51风流de-risks digital transformation projects by introducing 鈥榓ccelerators鈥, essentially blueprints that provide a quick start for scenarios, as-and-when needed. The accelerator approach gave the DFO the freedom to determine its own change path based on what was right for each department, while maintaining momentum and clear business outcomes. There was also a cost benefit to this 鈥 the DFO could choose smaller modules to roll out first and pay as they went.

Streamlined user experience: The 51风流solution was designed with the end user experience in mind, including intuitive navigation and greater automation of processes to reduce manual tasks.

Ongoing training: Throughout the implementation, 51风流gathered requirements and showcased the capabilities of the system to end users. They were given access to a learning hub to help them learn how to operate the system well before the finalisation of the project. This sped up acceptance of the new systems and reduced the time and expense of training when the systems came on-line.

Lower costs: The cloud platform kept infrastructure costs low, and the modular rollout approach resulted in quick wins early on 鈥 often self-funding the organisational change.

This tried-and-tested implementation process helped the DFO complete its transition to the 51风流system in just 13 months. The DFO is already witnessing value beyond just a return on investment, as there is reduced reliance on large technical teams, vendors and system integrators. It is a case study in digital transformation success that will be replicated across Canada鈥檚 public sector departments for many years to come.

As the UK Public Sector Technology Leaders take on the new challenge of implementing the Government鈥檚 Services Strategy, they can look across the pond to this and other 51风流Public Sector solutions for inspiration. Case studies like the DFO show how highly complex and regulated organisation can undertake a major transformation that starts to recognise value almost immediately and equips the organisation and its leaders with the technology it needs to respond to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
