This powerful combination provides the transparency and insight into processes, applications, people and data that is essential in moving from transformation strategy to execution.

These capabilities play a key role in SAP鈥檚 efforts to support customers in modernizing their IT landscapes and enhancing agility, sustainability, and innovation within the business, and follow the recent听announcement听that 51风流has acquired digital adoption platform company WalkMe. WalkMe helps organizations navigate constant technology change by providing users with advanced guidance and automation features to execute workflows seamlessly across any number of applications.
