The data whisperers

Data Management

While the SAP partners offered the existing customers present a solution for the upcoming digitization and conversion with practical tips, proof of concepts, roadmaps and products, the SAP keynote speaker lingered at a "very high altitude". There was nothing unwise about what was to be heard here from SAP, it was just a bit off the wall and showed the current discrepancy between the ERP world market leader and its community.

The success of a company's digital transformation depends above all on how well or poorly it handles data. After all, progress can only be made with a consistent data and analytics strategy. Many companies are therefore currently making structural changes to become what is known as a data-driven company - in other words, as a company to consistently use its own data resources in order to open up new opportunities and possibilities for its business processes. This pragmatic approach can be found at many SAP partners, but increasingly rarely at SAP itself.

Cloud computing

In the course of the digital transformation, data must be prepared, enriched with information, consolidated, and correlated. One focus is on the topic of Cloud computing with a special focus on Hybrid Cloud and ultimately the challenge of S/4 conversion. Data management plays a crucial and important role in all digitization initiatives in the company.

Data Management is the sum of all measures required to collect, store and provide data in this way. Once digitization is complete, all key business processes are based on data, which must be managed as optimally as possible in order to be used to best effect. In any case, data management is an important success criterion. Digital transformation in the context of SAP is the digitization, optimization and automation of business processes.
