Steering companies, enabling innovations

Rather, it is about being ahead of the times with an agile, creative and innovative company organization. This sounds trivial at first and perhaps even obvious to some, but on closer inspection there are some hurdles that need to be overcome.

In concrete terms, this means above all that operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) must grow closer together and that the topic of "service integration" is becoming particularly important.

Hana and Leonardo

Companies therefore need to broaden their view of ERP. A common example: up to now, S/4 Hana has mostly been viewed as a stand-alone solution. This view is rooted in the traditional interpretation of the tasks of an SAP system.

A company must be managed well, down to the smallest detail, function by function, task by task. And that is what SAP traditionally does.

With the combination of S/4 Hana and Leonardo, companies now benefit from a holistic view of everything they do - be it in production, human resources, finance or customer service.

Such an approach helps with the networking of all sub-areas. This singular approach ensures a high level of transparency and brings all functions together - OT, IT and many more.

This creates the basis for creativity and innovation. After all, the full power of digital transformation can only develop from an integrated organization.

Such an organization can share data, expertise, technology and new ways of working across the entire supply chain and partner ecosystem. This is reflected above all in customer service: customers are better served and more satisfied.
