Maximize the Potential of Artificial Intelligence for Installed Base Customers AI is in everyone's head and of course customers would like to benefit from it as well in grown landscapes. Key to success is (very obviously and not surprisingly) standardization: to take full advantage of #AI, companies should standardize their systems as much as possible. A "clean core" facilitates the integration and use of AI solutions. The closer your system is to the standard, the better you can use the existing AI functions. But, how to get there and where to find help from SAP?   New implementation and transformation: With a new implementation, you have the option of keeping your system "clean" from the outset. For existing systems, it is important to become as clean as possible in order to maximize connectivity and the use of AI. But not always customers have the ability, willingness and business support for a new implementation. So, how to effectively clean a system that is coming from a system conversion. Here #RISE with SAP can come into the picture. With the migration and modernization offerings of RISE with SAP we take customers by the hand and lead them actively through the steps to come to a clean core, no matter if coming in with an old ECC system or already with an S/4HANA system. How? With the clean core dashboard, customers get a KPI driven insight on where they are with regards to clean core. With the Enterprise architecture support, we help them to navigate into a clean and lean system setup. Cloud ALM and the connected quality gates for the implementation identify the important milestones on the way to the clean and lean implementation. Last but not least, the new #Joule Consultant "knows all answers" and the AI supported code generation will help to reduce old, non-conform custom code. In addition, our valued Partners have the opportunity to benefit significantly. If a lot of custom code is available, partners can help to define, develop or adapt data models. This ensures that business AI expertise is used effectively.   At the #SAPPHIRE conference, SAP showed how important it is to take system transformation seriously. The possibilities offered by AI are immense, but to fully exploit them, systems need to be kept as standardized and clean as possible.

From September 24 – 27, the #ALM universe gathered at the historic Manufaktur Mannheim at the SAP ALM Summit EMEA 2024: a convergence of 500+ participants (ALM customers, partners, developers, and experts), 60+ sessions, and a venue that used to be a club! This was the largest-ever SAP ALM Summit EMEA, a 4-day event covering the latest trends and innovations in AI-infused application lifecycle management. On the agenda this year: the latest topics in SAP Cloud ALM, SAP Focused Run, including updates about business transformation enabled by SAP Cloud ALM, SAP LeanIX, and SAP Signavio. In the opening keynote, I had the opportunity to share how Business AI and SAP Cloud ALM come together to support the end-to-end #transformation of our ALM customers – by being an enabler for transformation. I could also highlight how the #RISEwithSAP methodology (which helps with the implementation of Clean Core principles) ensures that customers can go live with predictability and can leverage the maximum potential of cloud-based innovations. This was a fantastic showcase of supercharged energy, inspiring conversations, and real-world examples of how our customers and partners consume, extend, and integrate ALM! A perfect celebration of our new milestone: 7158 SAP Cloud ALM customers till date! Kudos to all the people (on-stage and off-stage) who made this event a great success. Here are some post-event resources for all ALM enthusiasts: 🎥Watch out for the replays, which will be made available in the coming weeks. 📑Get / stay certified as a Solution Transformation Consultant with SAP Cloud ALM: https://lnkd.in/eyh_Kery Marc Thier Dr. Wieland Schreiner Tonja Kehrer Benjamin Schneider #SAP #CustomerSupport #SAPSupport #ALMSummit #ALM #SAPCloudALM #SAPFocusedRun

First time meeting my leadership team for application development, automation, and integration topics around #SAPBTP in Frankfurt to deep dive into our strategic priorities in this area. ...and perfect timing after collecting a lot of customer feedback in the US.   It was exciting for me to get more insights into the many innovative topics the teams are working on in this area, like #SAPBuild as the single solution for developers to easily mix and match low-code and pro-code tooling, including #ABAP, to develop all SAP extensions, and our growing portfolio in the area of enterprise automation with high value #AI scenarios. …and we even saved a bird that got trapped ~ Djay Chaudhary😉   It’s so inspiring to see how we bring integrated and AI-powered app development and automation solutions to life that help our customers tailor #SaaS apps to their specific business needs. Looking forward to the months ahead with this great team. Thomas Volmering Andrea Flügel Andreas Schlosser Achim Kraiss Amjad A.

SAP keeps on executing its business AI strategy…to the benefit of the #privateequity industry with AI/use cases directly embedded in the business processes of their portfolio company. GenAI landscape is changing at such a rapid pace that PE-backed companies avoid to waste time, resources and money on developing internal GenAI projects but rather focus on educating management team and employees as well as leverage the most valuable AI use cases available out-of-the-box in their existing systems and platforms. #privateequity executives will play a critical role in bringing their laser focus approach on capturing value out of the GenAI revolution.

One large step for SAP, one giant step for GenAI! 🚀 Another great session from #Know24 with Hardy Kuhn and Steffen Meyer on combining ServiceNow and SAP's intelligent automation with AI. The results speak for themselves: 20+ AI use cases, 55% efficiency gain, 80% satisfaction score! Things I loved about this session: 👩‍💻 Emphasised the importance of combining human capabilities with machine strengths to enhance customer support and cloud operations processes. Initial use cases leveraged AI integration in SAP's Intelligent Automation framework to harmonise ITSM processes across 24 lines of business, using GenAI for case summaries, information collection, and decision support based on user feedback. Not a small feat given SAP has 50,000 agents on the ServiceNow platform, handling 3 million cases annually, with a large CMDB of 26 million active assets. Hardy and Steffen shared an interesting machine learning use case involving swarming, where AI brings together experts to analyse and fix complex customer issues based on past resolutions and similarities. 🤖 Highlighted the latest advancements in IT service management and stressed the need for understanding the benefits and costs of each AI use case. To test the premise of value, SAP set up a playground with limited data for limited users and a defined set of use cases - feedback-based voting was used to refine prompts, and by year-end, everything was pushed to production ready for largest user groups. In terms of AI investment, SAP now use a mix of in-house models and out-of-the-box capabilities from ServiceNow. 🚸 The importance of balancing value and risk, noting that the right ecosystem and partnerships are essential for AI adoption - data readiness and collaboration with Accenture was critical to their success. They also stressed the need to educate people on AI capabilities and risks to ensure adoption and address fears.

Ending this week on a (very!) positive note, I am thrilled to share some exciting news: SAP is planning a substantial expansion of SAP BTP availability by the end of 2025. In collaboration with our infrastructure partners, we are working towards establishing SAP BTP in 10+ new datacenter regions. This expansion will include the introduction of BTP regions in Israel, Brazil, Australia, Japan, and Saudi Arabia, with more locations and timeframes to be announced soon. But that's not all: In addition to expanding into new datacenters, we are also increasing the regional availability of SAP BTP applications and services within existing locations. Our goal is to align the availability of these services across different geographical regions, ensuring that our customers can access our flagship SAP BTP solutions from a local datacenter in every country where #SAPBTP is present.  🌍 At SAP, we are dedicated to enabling businesses to run at their best, no matter where they are located. This expansion of SAP BTP is a significant step towards fulfilling that commitment. It allows us to better serve our customers and bring the power of our platform to new markets. ↗ Juergen Mueller Irfan Khan John "JG" Chirapurath Matthias Rosker Find more information here: https://lnkd.in/dKC4rkQv For more input on BTP, check out our latest SAP Business Technology Platform Strategy Paper: https://lnkd.in/df-wbzvJ

Check out the 3E Article by Peter M. Färbinger about SAPs financial development over the past months. Worth reading… According to forecasts by analysts at Goldman Sachs, the target price for SAP shares is 240 euros. Starting from a low of 80 euros per share around two years ago, this would represent a tripling within a few months. The assessments of other financial analysts are not quite as euphoric, but also spectacular: JP Morgan sees SAP shares at 220 euros, UBS from Switzerland at 222 euros and the analyst firm Jefferies from New York, USA, even at 225 euros. The reasons for this share success are manifold, but not unknown: The #ERP world market leader's business development is only part of the answer. SAP is quite successful with certain aspects of its product strategy: #CleanCore, #BusinessTechnologyPlatform #BTP, #RiseWithSAP and #HANA, #S4HANA Read the article in the comment #SAPCloudERP #SaaS
