NEC Leverages RISE with ��Ĵ�ý and AI to Build Business AI in Move to the Cloud

��Ĵ�ý News — Fri, 17 May 2024 02:00:00 +0000

WALLDORF and TOKYO — (NYSE: ��Ĵ�ý) today announced NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701 “NEC”) has selected ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud through the RISE with ��Ĵ�ý solution, running on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Together with implementation partner ABeam Consulting, the migration will leverage NEC’s generative AI technology and ��Ĵ�ý’s natural language, generative AI Joule copilot.

NEC, a Japan-based multinational leader in the integration of IT and network technologies, was seeking to optimize costs and streamline data systems to increase integration across its lines of business. As part of advancing its digital transformation, NEC will migrate from on-premise ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA software to ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud and adopt a clean-core approach, which emphasizes standard offerings and extends them while also reducing future upgrade and operational costs.

NEC is currently operating a large-scale system that includes 1,200 add-ons and more than 200 external interfaces. To migrate to the cloud, NEC will use generative AI to facilitate a clean-core transformation, streamline migration costs and improve operational efficiency. NEC’s generative AI and ��Ĵ�ý’s Joule copilot for natural language processing will automate critical processes such as add-on analysis, report interpretation, code generation from specifications and test automation. Joule is ��Ĵ�ý’s generative AI assistant that understands the user’s unique role and acts as a work copilot across ��Ĵ�ý applications to streamline tasks. NEC will be among the first companies to leverage AI tools from ��Ĵ�ý to streamline its migrations.

“NEC sees itself as the first customer of its own innovations, applying cutting-edge technologies internally and sharing the gained insights and know-how with customers and society,” NEC President and CEO Takayuki Morita said. “This milestone implementation with ��Ĵ�ý creates a new industry blueprint for other businesses looking to migrate to the cloud, underscoring NEC’s commitment to leading by example in technological adoption and societal contributions.”

By migrating to ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud, NEC anticipates more-efficient system operations by tapping into AI to support version upgrades and reduce future operation-related costs while being able to quickly respond to market changes. By leveraging innovative technologies including AI, NEC aims to digitally drive societal and industry transformations. This migration to the cloud is a key part of NEC’s 2025 mid-term management plan focusing on internal, customer and societal digital transformations.

“Our shared vision with NEC of creating a sustainable society through digital transformation is the foundation for our long-term partnership,” said Christian Klein, CEO and member of the Executive Board of ��Ĵ�ý SE. “This project marks a milestone in our relationship, and we’re excited to support NEC on their continued transformation journey.”

CP Foods Selects ��Ĵ�ý Solutions for Cloud Sustainability��

��Ĵ�ý News — Mon, 13 May 2024 06:00:00 +0000

WALLDORF and BANGKOK — (NYSE: ��Ĵ�ý) today announced Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited��(“CP Foods”) has selected multiple ��Ĵ�ý solutions to drive further growth and competitive advantage and to ensure the sustainability of its products for the future.

Catering to more than 4 billion people globally, CP Foods is embarking on its next stage of digital transformation with the RISE with ��Ĵ�ý, ��Ĵ�ý Sustainability Footprint Management, and ��Ĵ�ý Sustainability Control Tower solutions. In addition, the ��Ĵ�ý EHS Management, environment management application will be implemented to future-proof its business and to gain strategic insight into the sustainability impact of its products, processes and infrastructure globally. The company is a leading integrated agro-industrial and food business that is one of the world’s largest producers of feed, shrimp, poultry and pork. It has operations in 17 countries and exports to more than 50 countries.

Global Net-Zero Ambitions

In line with CP Foods’ goal of becoming the “Sustainable Kitchen of the World,” CP Foods is the first food processing company in the world with near- and long-term forests, lands and agriculture (FLAG) sustainability targets validated by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). CP Foods is looking to realize the company’s of reducing 42% of Scope 1 and 2 emissions and 30.3% of Scope 3 emissions by 2030 – and 90% of Scope 1 and 2 emissions and 72% of Scope 3 emissions by 2050. To achieve these goals, the company is implementing ��Ĵ�ý Sustainability solutions to record, report and act on real-time sustainability data, driving carbon accounting at both corporate and product levels.

“Net Zero is the only solution to climate change,” CP Foods CEO Prasit Boondoungpraser said. “It is important to us to understand and reduce our impact on the planet, so we create food that is not only safe and nutritious for people but also green and clean for the earth. Feeding our livestock, farming our food and transporting it to people’s plates incurs emissions we have to be able to record and report. With RISE with ��Ĵ�ý and ��Ĵ�ý Sustainability solutions, we will have insight into actual emissions automated in real time rather than relying on manual averages, allowing us to make quick, informed and sustainable business decisions for our operations and for the planet.”

��Ĵ�ý plans to provide a technology foundation that will support CP Foods in complying with forthcoming carbon regulations in various markets, including the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (EU C-BAM) and U.S. SEC climate risk disclosures.

Key to reducing total emissions, CP Foods will focus on supply chain emissions, with its emissions mostly falling under Scope 3. CP Foods will work with the Customer Success organization at ��Ĵ�ý, leverage YASH Technologies’ sustainability expertise and build on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to implement ��Ĵ�ý Sustainability solutions. Doing so will allow it to record and report on its Scope 1 and 2 emissions in Thailand and select Scope 3 (3.1 and 3.4) for its feed business in Thailand covering both FLAG and non-FLAG emissions. The next phase of implementation will extend in scope to cover operations around the world.

Cloud Sustainability

Paul Marriott, president of ��Ĵ�ý Asia Pacific & Japan, said: “Sustainability is a huge opportunity for businesses across Asia. Using RISE with ��Ĵ�ý and our sustainability solutions, CP Foods is getting ahead of forthcoming emissions regulation and future-proofing its business by using data to make more sustainable decisions. It can use those insights to drive more operational efficiencies, optimize supply chains, and differentiate its business against competitors.”

RISE with ��Ĵ�ý: Extending Procurement’s Digital Transformation

Etosha Thurman — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 12:15:00 +0000

Do you ever feel like the list of procurement challenges we wake up to grows a little bit longer every day? Just as we come to terms with one, another pops up. Whether it is the economy, global turmoil, the latest tech disruption, or any number of other things, we are always being tested.

On top of that, we still need to foster relationships with suppliers, manage costs, address sustainability mandates, and build resilient supply chains — all while transforming procurement into a more strategic business function. Not surprisingly, procurement leaders are looking to the next wave of technology to help them position their organizations to adapt quickly to changing conditions.

For many, moving key business processes to the cloud represents that “next wave” and for that, is the perfect option.

The RISE with ��Ĵ�ý solution is a managed cloud offering that enables a smooth, secure migration of on-premises ERP, including ��Ĵ�ý ERP and ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA, to the cloud. Its holistic approach to business transformation empowers organizations to better adapt to changing market dynamics and innovate more quickly.

Businesses can leverage RISE with ��Ĵ�ý to modernize their IT infrastructure, optimize and automate key processes, and unlock new levels of efficiency. They can also harness the power of data and analytics to make informed decisions, enabling them to achieve their business goals more effectively and efficiently.

The Challenge for Procurement: Extending Digital Transformation to Suppliers

For many years, “digital transformation” has been the hot trend for business functions, including procurement. Organizations are moving their internal business operations from manual processes and disparate software applications to integrated ERP systems. These systems are starting to leverage generative AI to improve the user experience, digitalize manual processes, and accelerate strategic decision making.

This is a win for the business with one caveat: “traditional” digital transformation does not go beyond the four walls of the organization. This creates a challenge for procurement because suppliers operate outside those four walls, where communication can be anything but digitalized. In fact, * revealed that 68% of respondents use email to transmit and receive data and documents for procurement and supply chain collaboration. Other methods include telephone (44%), supplier/customer portals (38%), and EDI (26%).

Given the technology available today, this is not only unproductive, but it also is completely unnecessary. With , ��Ĵ�ý offers a premium plus edition that includes ��Ĵ�ý Business Network for Procurement. This enables businesses to extend the digital transformation of business processes outside their walls.

Better Collaboration, Faster Invoice Processing, and an Improved User Experience

is a cloud-based collaboration offering that gives buyers and suppliers a way to find each other and do business within a single, networked platform. The network makes it possible for organizations to:

Exchange data and documents digitally with suppliers, eliminating the need for phone calls, faxes, emails, or snail mail
Achieve enhanced spend visibility and compliance
Access a marketplace of suppliers to ensure business resilience, diverse spending, and alignment with sustainability objectives

Additionally, improved transactional operations and invoice status visibility enable better working capital management for stronger trading partner relationships. Finance colleagues can enjoy a faster month-end close due to improved accounts payable efficiencies and increased procurement and payment compliance.

��Ĵ�ý Business Network for Procurement Extends ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud

When RISE with ��Ĵ�ý is combined with ��Ĵ�ý Business Network for Procurement, procurement teams can collaborate digitally with suppliers across procurement and invoicing processes. This dramatically improves transactional efficiency.

��Ĵ�ý Business Network for Procurement

A natural extension of ERP, ��Ĵ�ý Business Network provides an environment in which procurement processes initiated from ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud can be transmitted digitally to suppliers. As a result, suppliers can view and generate transactions like orders, order confirmations, ship notices, and invoices, and then act quickly to accelerate the procure-to-pay process.

��Ĵ�ý Business Network for Procurement improves process efficiency in many areas, including:

Purchase order processing: Digital purchase orders that are created in ERP are sent automatically to suppliers. Once confirmed by the supplier, buyers have visibility into order acceptance and delivery dates.
Invoice payment status: Invoice and payment status information is available on the ��Ĵ�ý Business Network dashboard to update suppliers, eliminating the need for phone calls.
Invoicing business rules: Buyers have the flexibility to configure applicable business rules that require adherence to business process and regulatory compliance.
Change order update: Buyers and suppliers can communicate changes to open purchase orders, which creates an auditable record of changes and variations. Related documents, such as shipping notices, are also synchronized with updates.
Payment compliance: Quick invoice processing and data accuracy minimizes wrong or duplicate payments, while improving accounting processes and overall financial visibility.
Supplier collaboration: Digitalization enables quicker feedback from suppliers, making it possible for suppliers to “flip” purchase orders into confirmations and invoices, reducing errors and manual effort.
Promotional opportunities: Networked suppliers have additional opportunities to grow their business by using the network to promote their offerings and connect with new customers.

The Next Wave of Digital Transformation

When you invest in RISE with ��Ĵ�ý, you are enabling your business to migrate core business processes to the cloud. By complementing this solution with ��Ĵ�ý Business Network, you extend your digital transformation to interactions with trading partners though a single, end-to-end technology landscape built on standardized processes and consistent data.

This is the next wave of technology that will enable you to address the ever-growing list of business challenges you wake up and face every day.

��Ĵ�ý News — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 22:00:00 +0000

Customers Can Harness Their Business Data in Cloud Solutions from ��Ĵ�ý Using Customized LLMs Deployed with NVIDIA AI Foundry Services and New NVIDIA NIM Microservices

WALLDORF and SANTA CLARA, Calif. — (NYSE: ��Ĵ�ý) and (NASDAQ: NVDA) today announced a partnership expansion focused on accelerating enterprise customers’ ability to harness the transformative power of data and generative AI across ��Ĵ�ý’s portfolio of cloud solutions and applications.

The companies are collaborating to build and deliver ��Ĵ�ý Business AI, including scalable, business-specific generative AI capabilities inside the Joule copilot from ��Ĵ�ý and across ��Ĵ�ý’s portfolio of cloud solutions and applications – all of which are underpinned by the ��Ĵ�ý generative AI hub. The generative AI hub facilitates relevant, reliable and responsible business AI and provides instant access to a broad range of large language models (LLMs).

��As part of ��Ĵ�ý’s ongoing initiative to build generative AI directly into the applications that power the world’s businesses, the partnership aims to help customers adopt generative AI capabilities at scale across their organizations. ��Ĵ�ý will use to fine-tune LLMs for domain-specific scenarios and deploy applications with new ™ microservices. ��Ĵ�ý and NVIDIA plan to make the new integrated capabilities available by the end of 2024.

NVIDIA’s expertise in delivering AI capabilities at scale will help ��Ĵ�ý accelerate the pace of transformation and better serve our customers in the cloud.”

“��Ĵ�ý is sitting on a gold mine of enterprise data that can be transformed into custom generative AI agents to help customers automate their businesses,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Together, NVIDIA and ��Ĵ�ý will bring custom generative AI to the thousands of enterprises around the world that rely on ��Ĵ�ý to power their operations.”

Harnessing Business Data and Generative AI to Advance Customer Insights

��Ĵ�ý and NVIDIA plan to collaborate to integrate generative AI into cloud solutions from ��Ĵ�ý, which include the latest release of the ��Ĵ�ý Datasphere solution, ��Ĵ�ý Business Technology Platform (��Ĵ�ý BTP) and RISE with ��Ĵ�ý.

��Ĵ�ý plans to build additional generative AI capabilities within ��Ĵ�ý BTP using NVIDIA’s generative AI foundry service, featuring AI supercomputing, software and NVIDIA AI Foundation models. These new capabilities are designed to be the basis of ��Ĵ�ý’s development and deployment of generative AI for customers and is expected to be accessible in the generative AI hub in ��Ĵ�ý AI Core and ��Ĵ�ý Datasphere.

Additional generative AI initiatives include:

New capabilities for the Joule copilot: Joule can leverage (RAG) capabilities built by NVIDIA and ��Ĵ�ý, which can be deployed on leading hyperscalers or ��Ĵ�ý’s own cloud environments. As a natural-language, generative AI copilot, Joule helps customers unlock the potential in their business by automating time-consuming tasks and quickly analyzing business-critical data to deliver more intelligent, personalized experiences.
Innovative use cases leveraging ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud, ��Ĵ�ý SuccessFactors and ��Ĵ�ý Signavio: ��Ĵ�ý and NVIDIA are exploring more than 20 generative AI use cases where the companies can combine assets to simplify and enhance digital transformation.

��Ĵ�ý Helps Customers Build a Cloud-First Business Strategy

��Ĵ�ý News — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 14:00:00 +0000

WALLDORF — (NYSE: ��Ĵ�ý) today announced a comprehensive set of resources, services, and financial incentives to help every customer move to the cloud and maintain the pace and level of innovation that cloud enables.

The RISE with ��Ĵ�ý Migration and Modernization program addresses two primary issues businesses face when moving to the cloud – scope and cost. It gives leaders confidence to take even the most complex ERP systems to the cloud by helping to eliminate custom code, data silos and process complexity.

“Every company needs a cloud-first business strategy,” said Eric van Rossum, chief marketing officer for cloud ERP, ��Ĵ�ý. “It’s more important than ever for customers to start their migration and modernization journey, so they can harness the potential of the latest cloud innovations, including AI and sustainability solutions.”

The helps customers become and remain innovation-ready to benefit from ongoing updates and new innovations. Once customers are operating in the cloud, ��Ĵ�ý takes the burden of management to build reliability, strengthen security and compliance and unlock the power of business data. Regardless of whether businesses today run on ��Ĵ�ý ERP Central Component (��Ĵ�ý ECC) or ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA, the program’s self-guided digital experience and assisted services offer a path from preparation through go-live. The program also introduces a set of new services and incentives to help customers in their move to the RISE with ��Ĵ�ý solution.

“With the current announcement, ��Ĵ�ý is making it clear that it is aware of the complexity of the challenges that customers face when transitioning to the cloud. At the same time, their previous investments in existing systems are being recognized,” explained Christine Grimm from the DSAG Executive Board. “By expanding the RISE with ��Ĵ�ý offering to include financial incentives and support, ��Ĵ�ý is reaffirming its promise to actively support customers on their journey to the cloud and thus make the transition easier. At DSAG, we appreciate this initiative and the willingness shown by ��Ĵ�ý. The aim must be to further improve and expand this offering in collaboration with ��Ĵ�ý in order to take into account the complex requirements and challenges of our members who are deciding in favor of a transformation process to the cloud. In doing so, we want to ensure that they benefit fully from the extended possibilities and innovations of the RISE with ��Ĵ�ý offering.”

Offsetting Migration and Transformation Costs with Incentives

To recognize the investment made by ��Ĵ�ý customers and to help offset the cost of migration and transformation, ��Ĵ�ý is announcing a limited-time offer that may reduce the cost of migration up to 50% and shorten the time to value. Through the end of 2024, when moving to the RISE with ��Ĵ�ý or GROW with ��Ĵ�ý solution, ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA and ��Ĵ�ý ECC customers will have access to credits that can be applied to offset the cost of maintenance, cloud services or cloud subscription. This incentive will include ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud and line-of-business solutions such as supply chain, human resources, spend management, CRM, business transformation tools and the business technology platform for extensibility.

��ܲ԰��ö�� has an omnichannel sales strategy, selling through its own shops and through wholesale and international franchises. Strong wholesale activities were one of the reasons the company looked to move to the cloud. ��ܲ԰��ö�� wanted a technology infrastructure that could offer flexibility, personalized insights into customers’ shopping behaviors and innovation to position itself for further growth.

With ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, ��ܲ԰��ö�� is eyeing its next step in its digital transformation journey as it embarks on the implementation of the ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA solution for fashion and vertical business, a version of ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA optimized for the fashion industry. The solution will allow the company to manage its business, from design to wholesale and retail, all on one platform. This will enable ��ܲ԰��ö�� to deliver collections faster on its channels, optimize inventory and cost as well as increase margins.

“About 75% of our customers are already a member of ��ܲ԰��ö��,” said Gordon Smit, global IT director, ��ܲ԰��ö��. “How great would it be if we could offer them an even more personalized experience, for example, by predicting when a customer wants to make a repeat purchase and being able to send the right offer at the right time? Thanks to our current efforts with RISE with ��Ĵ�ý, we are ready for that next phase. This is going to be a game changer for our customer experience.”

Achim Schneider, global head of industry business unit retail and wholesale distribution, ��Ĵ�ý, said: “Having worked closely over the past few months and migrating from on-premise to cloud in 48 hours is testament to the strong collaboration that our teams have had. With RISE with ��Ĵ�ý now implemented, ��ܲ԰��ö�� is ready to continue building on the strong growth momentum they’ve had, and I’m excited to see them setting new standards in the lingerie market.”

Navigating the Future: Your Guided Cloud Journey with ��Ĵ�ý

Thomas Bamberger — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 13:15:00 +0000

Over the past decades, ��Ĵ�ý has been continuously evolving and advancing in the ERP market with remarkable releases of flagship products. We are truly grateful that our valued customers and partners have been on this transformative journey with us.

We’ve Come a Long Way Together

As we deeply value your continuous success, it’s crucial to acknowledge that those currently operating on ��Ĵ�ý ERP 6.0 will soon face the imminent end of mainstream maintenance provided by ��Ĵ�ý. This is scheduled to take place in 2025, 2027, and 2030, depending on your ��Ĵ�ý enhancement package. Without proactive measures following the end of mainstream maintenance, your ERP solution will not receive any further legal updates or support packages. Additionally, mission-critical support and service-level agreements for your ERP solution will be impacted.��

This is a pivotal moment, and you must start thinking about the trajectory of your ERP system. However, you do not need to worry about getting lost in the various options that lie upfront – ��Ĵ�ý is here to empower you with adequate information and tailor-made business cases. We can help you make the decision and choose the path that suits you the best to support your future innovation and success.

Explore the Future Path of Your ERP with ��Ĵ�ý

As your trusted advisor on this evolution journey, we are pleased to present several paths for you to explore further:

If you currently have no ��Ĵ�ý enhancement package or ��Ĵ�ý enhancement packages 1-5, you could extend your mainstream maintenance to 2027 by upgrading to ��Ĵ�ý enhancement packages 6-8, which typically takes several months to complete. Please note that this path would still require a shift to ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA by 2027 or 2030.
You might continue with your current system, venturing into customer-specific maintenance. However, this path will lead to limited support and potential costs associated with addressing new issues.
You could initiate a migration to ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA with various transitioning paths available for you to choose, empowering you to:
- Streamline your system by discarding unnecessary custom code, extensions, and workarounds.
- Boost productivity through more straightforward processes and a more intuitive user interface.
- Enhance user acceptance with easy-to-access help and content solutions exactly when they are needed.
Our top recommendation for you is to adopt to be able to enjoy multiple benefits of the latest innovation of ��Ĵ�ý. This option can encompass all the advantages mentioned in the third option and also allows you to innovate using your data to solve business challenges with the use of generative AI.

Embracing RISE with ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud, private edition can offer a multitude of benefits. Join the ranks of numerous companies across diverse sizes and industries by initiating your cloud transition today to help enhance the agility and resilience of your business.

Take inspiration from B-ON’s success story, backed by ��Ĵ�ý support. In just four months, it seamlessly migrated to its new ERP and CRM platform, resulting in an impressive 200% increase in production capacity and 100% financial visibility across subsidiary operations.

As another example, after using ��Ĵ�ý ERP Central Component 6.0 system for nearly two decades, Shanghai Clyde Bergemann Machinery encountered challenges such as operation complexity and high maintenance costs. Opting for RISE with ��Ĵ�ý allowed SCB to improve its financial operations, with an 85% reduction in financial closing time and a 50% decrease in IT expenses.

Top Retailers Using Tech to Build Lifelong Customer Relationships

Matt Laukaitis — Fri, 12 Jan 2024 12:15:00 +0000

As 2024 begins, today’s retail leaders face a number of industry headwinds, including continued supply chain challenges, persistent staffing issues, ongoing inflation, increased competitive pressures, and more. These difficulties are expected to persist going forward and, in some cases, accelerate. The fact of the matter is disruption is no longer a temporal state of being in retail. It’s the norm.

That’s why innovation in technology, business processes, and how these come together will be key to better business results in 2024 and a sustainable future going forward. Retailers must learn how artificial intelligence (AI), cloud, robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), virtual and augmented reality, and other tools can assist in strengthening customer loyalty and trust. Because, after all, the primary goal of retailers is to create memorable, repeatable shopping experiences that will satisfy and even delight consumers.

At ��Ĵ�ý, we’re seeing enterprises pursue that goal every day, using the power of AI-driven business solutions to create strong, lifelong relationships with customers. Whether you’re designing personalized shopping experiences, improving demand planning, minimizing the cost of returns, or addressing other challenges, ��Ĵ�ý solutions can help you transform your approach.

Throughout 2023, ��Ĵ�ý enabled retail and consumer-packaged goods (CPG) leaders to overcome today’s biggest obstacles – and position them for a brighter tomorrow. This includes partnerships and success stories with leading brands like Leanin’ Tree, , Cangshan Cutlery, HP, , , , , , and .

More specifically, ��Ĵ�ý has worked with global leaders to help them drive meaningful customer experiences, adopt more sustainable practices, and set their organizations up for great efficiency and innovation.

: As one of the world’s leading fashion retailers, the ALDO Group is using ��Ĵ�ý to help improve customer loyalty and better deliver on consumer expectations.

Lloyd Adams — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 11:15:00 +0000

Every day, more companies are choosing ��Ĵ�ý to guide them into the future.

In the third quarter of 2023 alone, our customers spanned all shapes, sizes, and industries – including consumer products, biotechnology, and the public sector – and proved how much momentum is behind the cloud revolution.  

Whether simplifying business operations, adopting innovative solutions, or leading broader cloud transformations, it’s clear that today’s top enterprises see ��Ĵ�ý as a premier partner in driving positive outcomes and lasting change. This is, in no small part, because the future of technology – which includes things like generative artificial intelligence (AI) – is all about data. And ��Ĵ�ý knows data.

We are powering today’s – and tomorrow’s – leading businesses with offerings like GROW with ��Ĵ�ý, our public cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) offering for midsize companies; , a comprehensive solution built to help unleash the power of business data; (��Ĵ�ý BTP), a foundation for continued innovation; and much more.

From net-new growth companies embracing GROW with ��Ĵ�ý to large municipalities going live on RISE with ��Ĵ�ý, thousands of organizations continue to turn to ��Ĵ�ý to help power their digital transformations. Some organizations that kicked off their digital transformations this quarter include:

Northstar Clean Technologies, a Canadian-based clean technology company focused on the sustainable recovery and reprocessing of asphalt shingles, selected GROW with ��Ĵ�ý. As an emerging innovator in sustainable processing, Northstar Clean Technologies expects that ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud, public edition will help streamline its current business processes, as well as serve as a foundational ERP that can support its growth and scale with it.
Leanin’ Tree, which ships more than 20 million greeting cards per year featuring original artwork by independent artists from around the world, selected ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud, public edition and ��Ĵ�ý Datasphere, among other solutions. Through GROW with ��Ĵ�ý, Leanin’ Tree will be migrating from ��Ĵ�ý ERP Central Component (��Ĵ�ý ECC) and is aiming to fully transform and optimize its financial processes while adopting an “out-of-the-box” approach that incorporates ��Ĵ�ý best practices.
PureTech Scientific, which was formerly Chemours Glycolic Acid Division and is a global leader in organic synthesis of ultra-high purity alpha hydroxy acids for the life sciences and specialty chemical industries, selected GROW with ��Ĵ�ý, among other ��Ĵ�ý solutions. Through ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud, public edition, PureTech Scientific is aiming to adopt a cloud ERP that can not only meet the requirements of today, but of the future. GROW with ��Ĵ�ý enables PureTech Scientific to have a solution that is ready-to-run while also offering scalability, the delivery of continuous innovation, and support of PureTech Scientific’s growth ambitions.

Graybar, a leading North American distributor of electrical, communications, data networking, and industrial products, selected RISE with ��Ĵ�ý. By using ��Ĵ�ý, Graybar expects to simplify its processes, improve its efficiency, and enhance its customer service capabilities.

We’re also seeing many customers harness the power of their data with solutions like ��Ĵ�ý Datasphere and ��Ĵ�ý Sustainability Control Tower, which can create reliable and authentic sustainability data. Some customers that chose other ��Ĵ�ý solutions in Q3 include:

Adobe, a global leader in digital media and digital marketing solutions, will be leveraging ��Ĵ�ý Datasphere and ��Ĵ�ý HANA Cloud within ��Ĵ�ý Business Technology Platform to help optimize its data strategy while also improving efficiency and business value by reducing complexity and cost.
Fluence Energy, which is a global market leader in energy storage solutions and services and optimization software for renewables and storage, selected the RISE with ��Ĵ�ý solution and ��Ĵ�ý Sustainability Control Tower, among other solutions. By using ��Ĵ�ý, Fluence Energy is aiming to scale faster, gain better visibility into its supply chain, and improve overall efficiency.

And it’s not just customers starting their journey with ��Ĵ�ý: Q3 also saw a number of organizations go live on their ��Ĵ�ý solutions, an incredible step towards realizing value from their transformation. Some examples include:

The City of Vancouver, located in British Columbia, Canada, went live on ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud, private edition via RISE with ��Ĵ�ý. By using ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud, the City of Vancouver expects to be able to adopt innovation quicker, in addition to simplifying its digital landscape and improving overall efficiency.
Gilead Sciences, a biopharmaceutical company that has pursued and achieved breakthroughs in medicine for more than three decades with the goal of creating a healthier world for all people, went live on ��Ĵ�ý Ariba solutions, including ��Ĵ�ý Business Network. In addition to creating a globally connected platform that allows its suppliers and buyers to collaborate, ��Ĵ�ý Ariba solutions are helping Gilead Sciences streamline its global procurement process.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, and we’re not done yet. We’re continuing to invest in the innovations that will deliver growth, value, and success to our customers around the world – and that will continue to support our customers’ transformations here in North America.

With 6,500 points of sale, including 2,500 concept stores, Pandora depends on the experience of its brick-and-mortar stores, which account for the majority of its sales.

Accelerating Sustainability Innovation in the Cloud

Gunther Rothermel — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 10:15:00 +0000

“The pace of change has never been this fast, yet it will never be this slow again,” said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when speaking about technology a few years ago. Today, this sentiment can equally be applied to planetary and social change. And businesses are, understandably, struggling to keep up.

��Ĵ�ý understands this urgency and is ready to help. Our daily conversations with customers have shown us what they need and expect when managing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data and emissions footprints. One thing is clear: the speed and agility of cloud delivery combined with the ability to integrate sustainability data into the core enterprise resource planning (ERP) system will optimize customers’ sustainability and financial performance and form the foundation for their future business success.

Sustainability Footprint and ESG Data Management Now Available in RISE with ��Ĵ�ý

With the new premium plus edition for RISE with ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud, private edition, customers can accelerate innovation, infuse artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, adapt to market changes, and address complex, evolving ESG regulations and reporting requirements. With the inclusion of and in the premium plus edition, organizations can gain significantly enhanced sustainability outcomes.

��Ĵ�ý Sustainability Footprint Management allows organizations to get highly granular footprint calculations on product and corporate emissions across scope 1, 2, and 3, gaining detailed carbon footprint insights. With emissions data embedded beside operational and financial data in ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud, business functions including procurement, supply chain, operations, and finance can see the broader context of their sustainability impacts, enabling better business decisions.

With ��Ĵ�ý Sustainability Control Tower, organizations can combine different data sources for one trusted view of their ESG data. By automating the collection and integration of sustainability data, companies can set targets to steer their business to achieve sustainability goals holistically, monitor progress and gain actionable insights from dependable data, and enhance trust by establishing robust and auditable ESG reporting to global standards.

��Ĵ�ý Sustainability Footprint Management and ��Ĵ�ý Sustainability Control Tower are built on ��Ĵ�ý Business Technology Platform (��Ĵ�ý BTP) and can seamlessly integrate with ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud. With a cloud deployment, both solutions receive ongoing innovation updates, a critical benefit particularly when facing a global set of evolving ESG regulatory standards. Other benefits include leveraging automation – and soon AI – to help simplify compliance, reporting, and auditability.

The Foundations of a Green Ledger in the Cloud

��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud, ��Ĵ�ý Sustainability Footprint Management, and ��Ĵ�ý Sustainability Control Tower are the building blocks of your sustainability stack. They can provide a path to the concept, where companies can treat carbon like money, managing the carbon entering and leaving their systems and balancing their “carbon books” the same way they balance their financial books.

Harnessing quality data worthy of the green ledger will take time. But organizations need to start now to be prepared. By integrating sustainability data in the cloud, they can gain insights to steer towards a low-carbon business model, avoiding manual reliance on spreadsheets across differing sources of data and disparate lines of business.

Future-Proofing Agile Innovation with the Cloud

It is our mission to support customers in pursuing sustainability-focused opportunities and innovation, preparing to mitigate climate and social-related risks, and driving long-term business value. With our cloud-driven innovations, we help customers build the foundation for the evolution of their long-term sustainability strategies by giving them the tools to be agile and responsive, maintain control of integration and data flows, and master the complexity of sustainability challenges – and to achieve our collective goal of creating a more sustainable world.

��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud Is a Leader in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cloud ERP for Service-Centric Enterprises

Jan Gilg — Mon, 11 Sep 2023 12:00:00 +0000

We are excited and honored to share that ��Ĵ�ý has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud in Cloud ERP for Service-Centric Enterprises for the second year in a row.

The recognition is based on our completeness of vision and ability to execute in the cloud ERP market for service-centric enterprises. As service-centric enterprise customers transition their mission-critical enterprise resource planning (ERP) processes to the cloud, we believe they look to recognized vendors for the technology to transform and realize business value. According to Gartner, “Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow.” We’re honored to be recognized in this space.

This is truly fantastic news and, I believe, further underlines the impact cloud ERP has on the service-centric industries by fulfilling their current and future technology needs. ��Ĵ�ý offers integrated cloud solutions that can support an organization’s E2E business processes, spanning across all functions. ��Ĵ�ý helps manage every part of an organization: enterprise resource management, spend management, human capital management, and customer relationship management. This deep know-how enables ��Ĵ�ý to understand that every business is different and that within a business not every application has the same infrastructure or process requirements.

An Integrated Cloud ERP Solution

IT decisions are influenced by several different factors, whether it be the sensitivity and gravity of the data, the locality and level of availability required, or the need to scale ERP systems up and down. Businesses are complex entities and, as such, the most efficient IT environments will be able to combine cloud services – leveraging the flexibility of choice ��Ĵ�ý provides, whether they are public, private, or hybrid solutions. But complexity conceals value and opportunity. ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud is at the core of this transformational process that enables companies to grow, optimize, and transform on their own terms while providing for the smooth integration of all business processes.

A great example is to more countries in Asia under its “Cloud Asia Until 2025” plan. According to Chengbo Yu, CIO, Asia-Pacific Region, REHAU AG China, the company looked to “building a cloud-based business platform that’s fit for the future in a dynamic market and facilitating business process standardization and integration across Asia Pacific and the world and achieving supply chain excellence along the industry value chain.” That is the value it unlocked with ��Ĵ�ý’s latest intelligent technologies, products, and solutions. This is a classic example of how cloud transformation is best achieved with process standardization, where composable services come together to support end-to-end processes.

I believe the Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Cloud ERP for Service-Centric Enterprises is an interesting report of what trends and market forces drive conclusions. Businesses that are prepared to act quickly by orchestrating a planned digital transformation early on are better suited to respond to the dramatic changes in the operating environment. To quote the report, “this Magic Quadrant reflects Gartner’s definition of ‘composable ERP.’ We define this as an adaptive technology strategy that enables the foundational administrative and operational digital capabilities for an enterprise to keep up with the pace of business change. This strategy delivers a core of composable applications and as-a-service software platforms that are highly configurable, interoperable, and flexible to adapt to future modern technology.”

With this in mind, ��Ĵ�ý has pursued a unified solution in the cloud that responds to our customers’ business requirements. I have often written about how product design needs to be customer-driven and how we need to meet their unique industry needs with solutions that enable their growth and profitability. “No matter what industry you are in, there is no greater benchmark of success than customer feedback,” said Thomas Saueressig, member of the Executive Board of ��Ĵ�ý SE, ��Ĵ�ý Product Engineering. “The more feedback we get from our customers, the better we can serve them with innovations that help companies solve today’s business problems and take on tomorrow’s challenges. With ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud, they are best positioned to do so impactfully and sustainably.”

This perspective guides every decision our teams make when we are defining, investing in, and designing our solutions for every business, including organizations that aren’t yet completely ready for the cloud. ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud is a complete, composable cloud ERP solution powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics that helps customers run mission-critical operations in real time from anywhere and can give them the insight and information they need to steer their business through changing and challenging times. It enables them to digitally transform their business by helping build flexible value chains with end-to-end processes, introduce new business models in their industry, and expand globally yet sustainably with a trusted partner in ��Ĵ�ý.

Making real progress on sustainability requires real data. We’re rising to that challenge at ��Ĵ�ý by introducing the green ledger, ledger-based accounting for carbon so companies can manage the carbon entering and leaving their systems and balance their “carbon books” the same way they balance their financial books.��Ĵ�ý Sustainability solutions help customers replace estimated or average emissions values with actual, verified data, accelerating the move toward a green ledger where bottom-up, audit-ready sustainability values are managed with the same accounting quality as corporate financial data. The green ledger offers deep insights by being embedded into��with��and the��solution, with additional capabilities added with every release.

With ��Ĵ�ý’s cloud-first approach, ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud is at the core of our RISE with ��Ĵ�ý and GROW with ��Ĵ�ý offerings, which help unlock new ways of doing business. The goal is to respect organizations’ individual pace of movement to become an intelligent and sustainable enterprise by supporting them with clear and transparent road maps and by helping ensure that new innovations can be made available to them on a continuous basis.

A progressive combination of technology and innovation are key to the growth of any business today. We believe ��Ĵ�ý’s inclusion in this Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Cloud ERP for Service-Centric Enterprises once again highlights the fact that we are doing the right thing by our customers in creating a leaner, more responsive, customer-oriented business to help drive and deliver innovative solutions in the cloud. Customers repeatedly tell us they recognize that software-as-a-service (SaaS) ERP is their ultimate end-state.

We are thrilled to be recognized as a Leader again in this year’s Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Cloud ERP for Service-Centric Enterprises. But our ambitions don’t stop here. We are continuing to invest in making ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud even better with innovations that will make our products smarter and more efficient for enterprises of all scale – global, large, and mid-market. We understand the importance of making the right investment decisions when it comes to digital transformation, and we believe a strong digital backbone is the centerpiece. With ��Ĵ�ý’s cloud ERP solutions, we continue to focus on growth and value generation for businesses and their customers and we are here to be a partner on this journey.

Versuni Gains Agility with HXM and Connected Cloud ERP as Strong Data Foundation

Jacqueline Prause — Mon, 11 Sep 2023 11:15:00 +0000

Contemporary living at its finest is exemplified by a rich blend of technology, innovation, and design that delivers an unparalleled experience. In the modern home, for example, a new generation of domestic appliances makes cooking and cleaning easier and more enjoyable, bringing the benefits of comfort and convenience to what were once demanding daily household chores. These innovations in the home afford us precious time to spend with the people we love and improve our quality of life.

, formerly known as Philips Domestic Appliances, excels in its purpose to help people turn their houses into homes, so they can lead happier, healthier lives. Versuni is headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, with innovation, manufacturing, and commercial centers across the globe and a footprint in over 100 countries. With a global workforce of approximately 6,400 employees, Versuni advances a workplace culture of collaboration, empowered decision-making, and employee engagement supported by leading-edge HR.

As its name suggests, Versuni – think “universe” – wants consumers to know that “our universe is the home” and specializes in domestic appliances that make routine tasks simple, enjoyable, and sustainable. Versuni has brands such as Philips, Saeco, Gaggia, Preethi, Philips Walita, L’OR Barista, and Senseo to cover cooking, coffee, garment care, floor care, and climate care.

Digital-First Company for Consumer Engagement

Versuni took the unique opportunity of reinventing itself as an independent company to transform its entire technology landscape. To succeed in a dynamic, consumer marketplace, it had to evolve from best-of-breed solutions that served its healthcare parent company to best-of-suite applications that power advanced, digital-first consumer goods organizations.

“Since we are in consumer products, we needed to be a digital-first, insight-led company to enable us to go for lifetime engagement with our consumers across our connected products,” says Lokesh Rastogi, IT platform leader for Finance and HR, Versuni.

Exuviate Transformation Wins ��Ĵ�ý Innovation Award

To establish a foundation for future growth, Versuni adopted an outside-in approach to harmonizing and simplifying all processes in a bid to achieve end-to-end transparency. The IT project was given a fitting name, “Exuviate,” to describe how the organization shed its old technology layer so it can transform into something new and distinctive as a consumer-focused enterprise.

Versuni worked with to carry out an organization-wide, greenfield implementation by leveraging for processes, (��Ĵ�ý BTP) for collaboration and integration, and for cost control. While firmly adhering to best practices, Versuni laid out a strategy guided by a crisp logic: “��Ĵ�ý unless…; cloud unless…; and best of suite.” Considered to be one of the largest RISE with ��Ĵ�ý projects in any industry, the transformation was completed in a record 18 months, when Versuni transitioned to ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud, private edition in all countries.

With the new ��Ĵ�ý environment, Versuni reports 30% enhanced agility in its responsiveness, 85% improvement in standardization and harmonization, and 50% increased employee engagement. In recognition of its outstanding success, Versuni’s Exuviate project was chosen as an in the Industry Leader in Consumer Products category. For more information, read the press release from ��Ĵ�ý Sapphire Barcelona.

Opportunity for a New HR

The Exuviate project had set in motion the total transformation of Versuni’s IT landscape and established new business processes. The challenges facing Versuni’s HR department, however, were especially formidable: after the transition, there would be no way to manage and compensate Versuni’s workforce unless a new HRIT system was up and running globally. Relying on its legacy software was not an option.

Versuni’s HR team chose to help maximize value and maintain a clean core, one of the priorities of the Exuviate project. The team doubled down on the opportunity to achieve a full-scale HR transformation that affected all underlying HR policies.

“Due to the new setup of Versuni, we wanted to have a new HR policy for all countries, meaning we had a new organization structure to manage, new job family structure, new competencies for jobs, and a new salary structure,” says Amber Smeulders, business unit lead, HR Xperience expert at�� and hired by Versuni as program manager to manage the full HR digital transformation. “This was the biggest challenge in our program: it should be a happy marriage between managing a new HR policy together with following the design principles of best practice.”

“The HR transition to ��Ĵ�ý SuccessFactors solutions in itself was a massive task, so we ran the HR transformation as a separate pillar within the Exuviate transformation,” says Rastogi. This required Versuni to deploy ��Ĵ�ý SuccessFactors solutions in less than one year.

“We did it in 10 months from design to deployment,” confirms Rastogi. On April 1, 2023, Versuni went live in 52 countries simultaneously with 15 modules of ��Ĵ�ý SuccessFactors solutions, including , , , and .

“What Versuni accomplished in its HR transformation is nothing short of spectacular,” says Maryann Abbajay, chief revenue officer, ��Ĵ�ý SuccessFactors. “Versuni translated a new set of business demands and way of working into ��Ĵ�ý SuccessFactors solutions, really taking advantage of the connected cloud environment to gain visibility into its workforce and enable employee-centric HR. This is going to bring a new level of agility to Versuni that will set it on a path for long-term success.”

Versuni worked closely with ��Ĵ�ý to ensure it had access to the right resources and expertise. “We hired subject matter experts with ��Ĵ�ý SuccessFactors knowledge, but also worked with the HR business to make sure that the design of ��Ĵ�ý SuccessFactors solutions and the design of the HR policies were going hand in hand,” says Smeulders. With the right team in place and a clear governance structure, Versuni was able to complete the project in record time and fast track its time to value.

Reporting Gains Strategic Value in Connected Cloud Landscape

Although Versuni was satisfied with the operational reporting available in ��Ĵ�ý SuccessFactors solutions, it also needed cross-organizational reporting that leveraged data available in the connected ��Ĵ�ý landscape. Therefore, Versuni and ��Ĵ�ý created a solution for its management reporting. “We tried it out in HR as a proof of concept,” says Rastogi. “It was highly successful and now we intend to roll it out across the organization. It brings quite some benefits in terms of insights into our HR data.”

Smeulders agrees and looks forward to strategic insights from ��Ĵ�ý SuccessFactors with the connected environment. “We would like to combine the HR data with data coming from the other ��Ĵ�ý systems to really understand what is best for us when we talk about investment in positions, in HR policies, and in the right talents,” she says.

Complete Transformation in Record Time

By connecting cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) to ��Ĵ�ý SuccessFactors solutions, Versuni has achieved three key benefits. It now has a seamless user journey based on a single source of truth across the entire landscape. Another benefit is the increased visibility achieved from the integration with other systems, especially finance. Also, improved reporting is leading to better decision-making. Rastogi summarizes: “It’s one source of truth, one system, and one number.”

Enhanced employee experience is among the additional benefits of the HR transformation. Payroll consolidation resulted in a reduction of more than 20 providers into one global provider. Versuni lowered costs with a 70% reduction of local applications. Localization for time and attendance is now supported. Nearly all HR processes are now available on a mobile device.

“We’re still on the journey,” says Rastogi. “What is very clear across the organization is a mind shift change, a culture change. We’re starting to see that it is much more collaborative and faster. The decision-making is empowered and much quicker. It’s been a complete transformation – digital transformation as well as business transformation – in record time.”

BMW Group Revs Up iFACTORY Plants with ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA and Supply Chain Logistics

��Ĵ�ý News — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 18:00:00 +0000

OXFORD —&�Բ��; (NYSE: ��Ĵ�ý) today announced that the BMW iFACTORY in Oxford, United Kingdom, has successfully gone live with ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA, using ��Ĵ�ý’s cloud-driven solution architecture for automotive industries.

The MINI Plant in Oxford is the first of BMW Group’s connected factories moving to the digitized cloud architecture over the next few years.

Going live for the first time worldwide in the production environment at the MINI plant is the next milestone for BMW’s iFACTORY, which represents BMW Group’s revolutionary strategy for future automotive production. BMW Group chose ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA and ��Ĵ�ý’s supply chain logistics solutions to jointly create the first blueprint for process digitization of automotive plants of the future, establishing a new technology standard that could shape the automotive industry.

The jointly created solution unites and simplifies the intricate simultaneous processes and IT system changes in the areas of parts logistics, finance/controlling and customs. As each upcoming following iFACTORY leverages the RISE with ��Ĵ�ý solution, BMW Group expects to benefit from the standardization of logistics processes worldwide on the latest technology innovations, mutual plant support, flexible workforce allocation, and synergy in support and training. With RISE with ��Ĵ�ý, BMW Group will have faster access to innovations and be able to more quickly roll out new solutions in the production network.

“The Oxford plant is the first plant that will follow a global rollout within the BMW Group,” said Alexander Buresch, chief information officer and senior vice president, BMW Group IT. “From now on, more plants from the worldwide production network will be added every year until they all speak the same language. As part of our digitization and harmonization strategy, this new solution allows us to link relevant product, process, quality and cost data, which enables data consistency and transparency across the production chain.”

Thomas Saueressig, member of the Executive Board of ��Ĵ�ý SE responsible for ��Ĵ�ý Product Engineering, said: “Process digitization is a key enabler of the transformation of the automotive industry. The BMW Group and ��Ĵ�ý have had a longstanding partnership and collaboration spanning more than 30 years. I’m extremely excited that this is the first time the parts logistics solution has been deployed on a cloud architecture developed together by BMW Group and ��Ĵ�ý.”

��Ĵ�ý Further Expands Focus on Business Transformation with LeanIX Acquisition

Rouven Morato — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 14:05:00 +0000

An organization’s capacity for change has become a competitive differentiator, and the ability to quickly respond to change of any type is now viewed as a foundational competency for any business. This need for ongoing adaptability is one of the key drivers behind today’s announcement of ��Ĵ�ý’s intention to acquire .

LeanIX, as a market leader in enterprise architecture management, will further enhance ��Ĵ�ý’s ability to digitize and simplify business transformations.

With the drivers of change – customer behaviors, market conditions, innovation disruption, talent shortages, environmental conditions, etc. – transformation has become an imperative. This is backed up by survey data that show that 90% of organizations link their own performance with the progress they have made on transformation.*

As ��Ĵ�ý we are at the heart of business execution for so many companies out there. When talking to them, we hear that they clearly understand this need to transform. But we also hear that they struggle on how to get there. Their reality of business processes, data quality, and system landscape has grown over the last 10 to 20 years into a complexity that is hard to undo, let alone transform to an agile and dynamic set up.

When we as ��Ĵ�ý reinvented our strategy three years ago, we elevated this need of our customers to get more help along their transformation journey to one of our key priorities. We acquired Signavio and established ��Ĵ�ý Signavio as a very successful business unit to help our customers transform on the process side. We know that when our customers adopt a process-centric approach, they are able to visualize the impact of technology architecture on the day-to-day flow of work and business outcomes, giving them a clearer foundation for change and ongoing optimization.

In the two years since acquisition, we have listened closely to our ��Ĵ�ý Signavio customers and engaged in their transformation project. They want to digitize the transformation journey as much as possible – the rewards of digitization are better collaboration and business buy in, accelerated time to value, and data-driven decision making. They look to us to deliver solutions that accelerate and de-risk their transformation journeys. They want better integration into operational systems to ease deployment and roll out of new processes, and they crave information on best practices and industry standards. We listened��and the constant theme we saw was bringing together the process world with the IT world. ��

At the center of what’s needed is a stronger connection between IT landscape and business processes, the ability to identify the impact of technology on business outcomes. IT landscapes, like process landscapes, have exploded in complexity and have become webs of interconnected applications, data, and workflows, making it nearly impossible to predict the consequences of any change, large or small.

That is where LeanIX comes into play. With LeanIX’s ability to have full transparency into the IT landscape and ideal planning capabilities for the future design of the applications we are perfectly complementing the transformation capabilities of ��Ĵ�ý Signavio in the process world – like two sides of the same coin: process and systems.

The addition of LeanIX will allow CIOs and IT leaders to gain the transparency and planning capabilities for their enterprise architecture to own the transformation and proactively drive the conversation with the business stakeholders. As ��Ĵ�ý Signavio for the process world, LeanIX will give CIOs and IT leadership more relevance in critical business decisions and their impact on core operations, and greater ability to react to market trends and seize new opportunities such as generative AI.

Our vision is the creation of a complete business transformation suite. ��Ĵ�ý’s market leading technology platform and our broad and innovative application portfolio are already helping our customers become future-proof, agile and intelligent enterprises. We are now on our way to delivering the most complete business transformation portfolio to help all of our customers on their transformation journeys.

With the addition of LeanIX’s IT-centric transformation capabilities to our existing portfolio of RISE with ��Ĵ�ý and GROW with ��Ĵ�ý, ��Ĵ�ý Signavio solutions, cloud application lifecycle management, and ��Ĵ�ý Business Technology Platform, we are uniquely suited to deliver for our customers a clear path to success.

Change, whether incremental or revolutionary, is constant and inescapable. Effectively managing change requires trust – trust in people to do their best, trust in technology to seamlessly and securely support work execution, integrations and new business models, and trust in the long-term purpose and vision.

At ��Ĵ�ý, we strive to be a trusted advisor, working hand in hand with our customers as they manage their transformation journeys. We are excited to bring LeanIX’s people and capabilities together with our own, giving us a stronger foundation for helping our customers seize the opportunities inherent in the changes that are coming, whatever those changes may be.

��Ĵ�ý Announces Successful Deployment of ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud by Accuray Incorporated

��Ĵ�ý News — Tue, 29 Aug 2023 13:30:18 +0000

SUNNYVALE — (NYSE: ��Ĵ�ý) announced the successful implementation of ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA Cloud through the RISE with ��Ĵ�ý solution at Accuray Incorporated, a global leader in radiotherapy technology.

The new enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform is designed to help Accuray improve scalability, harmonize global processes, enhance application security and drive the digitalization of its global business processes.

“We know that digitalization is a key enabler for our business, but the healthcare ecosystem brings a complicated set of requirements,” said GS Jha, Global Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer, Accuray. “Our legacy ERP system was highly customized and no longer met our requirements, so it was important to identify a secure and scalable solution that would address our global needs and keep complications at a minimum. The suite of products from ��Ĵ�ý offered a solution without compromising on features that would be important to our organization and our customers.”

The global project was executed in less than 12 months thanks to extensive collaboration between Accuray, ��Ĵ�ý and . It encompassed a wide range of systems, including ERP systems for core business processes in sales, finance, manufacturing, supply chain, procurement and logistics.

“Cognizant is proud to support the digitalization of Accuray global business practices with this ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA implementation,” said Surya Gummadi, executive vice president and president, Cognizant Americas. “Combining our experience delivering ��Ĵ�ý projects with our expertise in the life sciences industry enabled us to execute this project on a short timeline, supporting operational changes that will help the company to more efficiently bring its radiotherapy innovations to market.”

The project’s completion sets the stage for Accuray to leverage the full potential of its ��Ĵ�ý software investment.

“We are excited to work with Accuray on its digital transformation journey with RISE with ��Ĵ�ý,” said Lloyd Adams, president, ��Ĵ�ý North America. “I believe our solutions will provide the Accuray team with the resources they need to help enhance efficiencies in their individual day-to-day work along with the global interactions and operations necessary to their business.”

RISE with ��Ĵ�ý Accelerates Biotech Innovation

Susan Galer — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 11:15:48 +0000

Biotech research and development (R&D) is one of the hottest high-growth industries, stoking an in products after the pandemic that reinforced imperatives for healthcare breakthroughs like lifesaving vaccines and personalized medicine. True innovators are digitally transforming to increase speed to market and address regulatory compliance in this R&D-driven sector.

One example is Technologies, Canada’s leading life sciences research company that sees itself as a company of scientists helping scientists. Based in Vancouver, STEMCELL has a 30-year history of growth in developing and manufacturing products and services that help other industrial and academic scientists innovate in the areas of stem cell, immunology, cancer, regenerative medicine, and cellular therapy research. STEMCELL has staff in 20 countries and sells a constantly expanding portfolio of over 2,500 products, including cell culture media, cell separation technologies, instruments, and accessories, as well as education and services. Reducing the time to market for new products is crucial to the company’s mission of pursuing life sciences discoveries leading to the next generation of healthcare treatments.

“We’re always looking for ways to accelerate time to market for new products and adapt our technology environment to meet the evolving needs of our internal stakeholders and external customers,” said John Lilleyman, CIO at STEMCELL. “Advanced discoveries in areas like precision medicine are bringing new hope to patients and their families. At the same time, we have to comply with increasingly stringent global mandates for sustainable packaging and product safety.”

Faster Innovation with ��Ĵ�ý S/4HANA

Since STEMCELL went live with , the biotech leader has been intent on using the latest innovations from ��Ĵ�ý to help speed up product testing. Speaking during a session held at this year’s , Lilleyman shared the company’s strategy for effective and fully automated software with ��Ĵ�ý.

“We’re particularly excited about the cloud-first innovations from , which will help us deliver a more sustainable solution, continuously meet security and compliance requirements, and set us up for success with future upgrades,” he said. “With a new test-automation strategy, we can make sure that testing is an accelerator and not a bottleneck to change.”

Automation Expedites Rigorous Product Testing

STEMCELL doesn’t create end-user patient therapies. Rather, the company develops the products and solutions that help other life sciences researchers innovate for new therapeutic discoveries. To develop these solutions for other scientists, STEMCELL performs rigorous product quality testing to comply with the and other global regulatory frameworks and guidelines.

Replacing manual testing with a highly automated process has generated significant results for the company. To date, STEMCELL has reduced the time required to complete ��Ĵ�ý system validation for GxP “good practice” guidelines and regulations by 86%, test quote-to-cash scenarios by 97%, and execute a full regression cycle by 98%.

“Instead of taking the better part of a month or more, most of the testing is now completed in a handful of days or less,” said Lilleyman. “This is a tremendous accelerator for our business and our teams. We’ll be able to take advantage of enhancements in ��Ĵ�ý solutions faster. It will continue to pay dividends every day, week, month, and year as we move forward, expanding our footprint in new product markets and locations.”

Digital Helps Fast-Track Global Expansion

Averaging 20% annual growth, STEMCELL has made digitalization central to its strategy for bringing products to market faster and more sustainably. Lilleyman said that speeding up testing in compliance with global mandates will help the company as it expands worldwide.

“Cloud-based automation at all stages of testing helps move us towards continuous compliance in a continuously changing market,” he said. “As we continue to expand our inventory for testing, we’ll be able to accelerate upcoming projects as we open up in different environments. We can have a library with a simple checklist to set up a new entity where we can test end-to-end. We can shift the testing burden away from business users to release innovations faster with completed testing.”

He looked ahead to greater benefits from further automation, including on-demand validation reports for updated system testing and quality controls. Speedier testing from STEMCELL is making the lives of researchers easier by accelerating the release of the tools they need to in turn deliver advanced, patient-centric therapeutic discoveries for a healthier world.

What Is Customer Loyalty?

Sven Denecken — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 11:15:44 +0000

What makes you stick with a brand – is it the quality of the product or service? Is it the support you receive when something goes wrong? Is it the availability in the market or the compatibility with other products? Is it the rewards you are offered for being a loyal customer?

When I’m in the market for new sport shoes, I stick to the brand that I know is the most comfortable for me. There’s nothing worse than buying a pair of sneakers and going jogging with them for the first time, only to realize in the first few minutes of your run that they don’t fit properly.

On the other hand, if I’m shopping for groceries, it’s how healthy the product is, then the selection, freshness, and price that matter the most. Time is also a factor – the quicker I can find exactly what I need, the better.

But what happens if another sport shoe manufacturer sets up a loyalty program, allowing me to collect points and offering discounts? Or, what if a new grocery store opens that allows me to save even more time by eliminating the checkout counter? Would that make me change my buying behavior?

What I’m talking about is loyalty in the context of customer experience. It’s different for every industry. How can you as a supplier or service provider ensure that you are offering the best experience possible to your customers?

Loyalty Is a Very Noisy Space

Recently, I spoke to Riad Hijal, head of Commerce Solution Management at ��Ĵ�ý Customer Experience. “Loyalty is a very noisy space. I think for retailers, for example, to be successful and ultimately drive customer lifetime value through loyalty, they need to cut through that noise,” he said. “We as consumers are faced with dozens of rewards or loyalty accounts – most of them aren’t really driving any kind of real modification in behavior. We don’t buy more just because we have a loyalty account with someone and are collecting points; we are merely using it as a discount mechanism. That’s how to do loyalty wrong.”

Loyalty requires a reimagination of the loyalty experience and underlying process. To stand out from the crowd, companies need to be leveraging measurement. In addition, what are the themes that we need to focus on to rethink loyalty to truly drive long-term customer value? What does the measurement look like? According to Hijal, historically, efficient and tangible measurement has been lacking in loyalty programs due to the complexity of the topic.

What Should Loyalty Solutions Really Be Offering?

By leveraging data and analytics, a loyalty platform helps businesses understand why customers regard certain experiences as more memorable and important than others. This allows businesses to dig deeper into the different elements of behavior-driven customer loyalty.

And, the truth is, data is siloed within a multitude of systems within your organization. As a company, you need to be able to reconcile all of it, across both transactional and behavioral dimensions so that you can understand which customers are truly profitable and worth your focus. With ��Ĵ�ý Customer Data Platform, for example, which is part of RISE with ��Ĵ�ý, you can prioritize your customers with intelligent insights delivered by the platform. See more about ��Ĵ�ý Customer Data Platform in .

As such, there are key capabilities necessary for modern experiential loyalty platforms. These are rewards and incentive management, personalization, gamification, communication and engagement, feedback and surveys, data-driven insights, and integration and convenience.

PUMA and Mention Me: An Industry Cloud Solution

As a leading sports brand, PUMA wanted to transform its fan base to a key growth-driver by not only attracting new customers, but also improving brand awareness and loyalty.��Mention Me, an industry cloud partner solution, in combination with ��Ĵ�ý Emarsys Customer Engagement, helped PUMA launch referral programs in six European countries.

PUMA has integrated Mention Me with ��Ĵ�ý Emarsys Customer Engagement, its customer relationship management (CRM) platform. This helps equip PUMA to serve seamless customer journeys that drive more referrals, such as sending reward reminders and encouraging referrers to introduce more friends. PUMA is also able to feed first-party referral data into the CRM platform in real time – growing its database and giving a whole new level of insight. The combination of these solutions is giving the company remarkable growth, increasing its ROI through referral to six times its investment just nine months after launching the campaigns. .

Valora: Revolutionizing Convenience Store Shopping

Valora wanted to better meet customer needs by combining the convenience of a physical store with the simplicity of a digital business model. This was the beginning of its newest brand of cashier-free convenience store – avec box. To help realize the project, Valora chose ��Ĵ�ý Customer Experience solutions, used the rich knowledge available with ��Ĵ�ý Services and Support, and worked with Webtiser AG and Pagnos GmbH on a proof of concept. The goal was to start with a single store, using a minimal viable product collaboration approach, then scale the solution further.

Now, Valora is winning new customers by offering them an even more convenient and flexible shopping experience – without the hassle of waiting in line at the cash register. Plus, with customers registering with the avec app, Valora is able to get new insight into what customers want. Not only does make it possible to give personalized recommendations, but it is also now easier than ever for Valora to reward customer loyalty and keep people coming back for more. .

Measurement Is Key

Effectively measuring and then learning from customer behavior with loyalty solutions to improve reward experiences is the key to taking customer loyalty to the next level. “Since loyalty is such a mature space, measurement is key,” said Hijal. “Most loyalty programs are abundant and don’t achieve much, but focusing on measurement is what the next generation of loyalty programs is all about.”

Speaking of next generation, ��Ĵ�ý Customer Experience solutions are also artificial intelligence (AI)- and machine learning-fueled. These types of insights can help you make each customer feel like they are your only customer. They can help you engage and understand consumers on their terms while respecting their privacy preferences during the customer journey, to retain and upsell using machine learning and smart automation.

So, the next time I’m in the market for sports shoes, maybe the AI-fueled loyalty program will be able to convince me to try something new…and stick with it.
