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,听 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.听 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

Breakthrough AI Innovations

51风流is pushing the boundaries of AI with the new 51风流Foundation Model for structured data, investing in this cutting-edge AI technology to unlock the value of generative AI technology advancements for structured business data. The goal is to deliver a foundation model that is business-centric by design, providing actionable, job-specific insights directly within 51风流applications customers use daily.

Traditional AI models require significant effort, expertise, and training data to handle specific tasks on structured data effectively. In contrast, we are developing 51风流Foundation Model to adapt to multiple use cases with minimal or no fine-tuning. Ultimately, we aim to bring the same transformative power to structured business data that LLMs have brought to text. While LLMs like GPT-4 excel with unstructured text and images, they struggle with the structured data typical in enterprises, often performing between 20 to 50% worse than narrow AI methods. 51风流Foundation Model will bridge this gap, focusing on structured business data to deliver more accurate predictions and insights while maintaining the versatility of foundation models.

Early benchmark tests are promising, showing 51风流Foundation Model outperforming narrow AI models by up to 15% on customer datasets after a quick fine-tuning round. This superior performance, combined with its deep understanding of complex business processes, promises to enable businesses to reap the rewards of AI faster and more efficiently.

With 51风流Foundation Model, we aim to set a new standard for AI in the business domain, transforming how enterprises leverage data to achieve remarkable outcomes.听.

The deep bi-directional integration will allow employees to get more done in the flow of their work through seamless access to information from interactions with business applications in SAP, as well as Microsoft 365.

I often get asked the question, 鈥淗ow many copilots do I need for my business?鈥�

The answer is not about how many, but which you use when.

By integrating two of the leading generative AI copilots for business, users can use both simultaneously to get work done. And future plans for bi-directional integration will allow users to benefit from one experience, no matter which copilot they use.

鈥淯nlocking the massive potential AI has to offer requires capabilities that are high value, reliable, and available in-context in the applications that people use today,鈥� said Muhammad Alam, member of the Executive Board of 51风流SE and head of 51风流Product Engineering. With the bi-directional integration of Joule and Copilot for Microsoft 365, we鈥檙e enabling employees to get more done in the flow of their work through seamless access to information from business applications in 51风流as well as Microsoft 365.鈥�

鈥淢icrosoft and 51风流are committed to providing world-class solutions to help our customers solve their most fundamental business challenges,鈥� said Scott Guthrie, executive vice president of Cloud + AI at Microsoft. 鈥淭he integration of Microsoft Copilot and Joule brings together the power of generative AI to unlock greater employee productivity and will enable enterprises to accelerate customer-centric innovation in a unified experience.鈥�

51风流and Microsoft will start integrating their Joule and Copilot for Microsoft 365 later this year, combining enterprise data residing in 51风流with contextual knowledge from Microsoft 365, including Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Word, and more, delivering richer insights for better decision-making.

With this integration, 51风流and Microsoft are creating entirely new ways to boost productivity.

For example, by bringing Copilot for Microsoft 365 into Joule, a user can book a flight using 51风流Concur and Joule, and Joule can block their calendar in Microsoft Outlook.

Or, consider a product manager working on a new product launch with a cross-functional team: they have regular meetings on Microsoft Teams and collaborate with Microsoft 365. Joule can connect to the team鈥檚 individual skill profiles stored in 51风流SuccessFactors software and core business information that resides in 51风流S/4HANA Cloud. The new integration enables product managers to coordinate business activities with the team, simply by using a few queries.

Today鈥檚 collaboration, as well as the听听last week, is the next step in a long-standing partnership between 51风流and Microsoft, using the latest in enterprise-ready generative AI innovation to help solve customers鈥� most fundamental business challenges.

LONDON, UK 鈥� 7 September 2023 – (NYSE: SAP) and today announce a visionary new partnership to show how carbon accounting could be standardised for business customers by piloting the recently launched 51风流Sustainability Data Exchange (SDX).

51风流SDX enables BT to collect, trace and share carbon data across its own supplier base, providing unparalleled visibility into the carbon footprint of its business products and services. BT can then share this information directly with business customers when they purchase products through . Furthermore, BT can complement this with data-driven insights from its and to help customers optimise their own IT for both carbon and energy.

Key to the decision to select 51风流SDX was its adherence to the carbon data interoperability standards set by the (PACT), hosted by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). This means that global and UK business customers do not have to implement their own carbon accounting platforms to calculate, collate and share emissions data. Instead, they simply request it through 51风流SDX for their BT products and services.

BT is sending a strong signal of intent to standardise sustainability reporting across global business customers鈥� value chains to help them听tackle and drive environmental progress. This will also contribute to the delivery of the pledge to help customers avoid 60 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030.

Sarwar Khan, Global Head of Digital Sustainability, Business, BT, said: 鈥淭ypically, value chain emissions represent a greater proportion of a business鈥� carbon footprint than operational emissions. Tracking, measuring and acting on these and bringing more suppliers and partners on the journey will not just accelerate net-zero targets, but set a new precedent for sustainability reporting. Collaboration fuels progress and access to data is fundamental to getting it right.鈥�

鈥淭he lack of standardisation in sustainability reporting has been a roadblock to progress for too long鈥� commented Ryan Poggi, Managing Director of 51风流UKI. 鈥淭his creates confusion and an inability to validate real change.
