SNP goes to the cloud with Rise <\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner, a global provider of software solutions for digital transformation processes and automated data migrations in the SAP environment, will move to the cloud with Rise with SAP. In December 2021, SNP signed an agreement with SAP to move its own system to the S\/4 Hana Cloud, Private Edition, in a Microsoft Azure environment. The Heidelberg-based company will carry out the transformation using its own CrystalBridge data migration platform and its own resources. The cloud move is part of a transformation program that SNP launched in January 2022. As part of the program, the IT company will also integrate Datavard, which it acquired last year, and drive forward its own digitization with various measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digitization of more than 1800 stores<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Fressnapf Group, the European market leader for pet supplies, has opted for the retail platform StoreButler from q.beyond. The solution will serve as a central hub for the digitalization of the currently more than 1800 stores in eleven European countries. The Fressnapf Group and q.beyond have concluded an agreement to this effect for an initial term of five years. By using the StoreButler cloud and IoT platform, the Fressnapf Group can benefit directly from pre-installed retail solutions. These include, for example, the control of electronic price tags, predictive price adjustment and the Zero Waste Assistant, which reduces write-offs on expired goods.<\/p>

Guide to consent management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the ePrivacy Directive and the German Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG) provide a detailed legal framework for consent management in Germany. However, the concrete, practical design of this is often still a gray area and complicates the situation for companies, but ultimately also for users. The BVDW guidelines from the \"Consent Management\" working group in the Data Economy department are intended to provide concrete assistance, for example with regard to the scope for designing corresponding banners. The guideline also addresses the hurdles of using the systems of consent management platform providers, particularly in the area of processing personal data. At the same time, the publication shows the current legal framework for data protection and privacy protection and the extent to which the GDPR and TTDSG are intertwined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Brand for business process transformation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SAP is now offering a comprehensive portfolio of business process transformation solutions under the name SAP Signavio. Since SAP's acquisition of Signavio a year ago, it has become clear that highly developed, easy-to-use process management solutions offer users a faster and more solid return on investment (ROI) following transformation initiatives. For SAP Signavio solutions, this market development is reflected in triple-digit growth, enabling a doubling of resources for development and therefore faster delivery of innovative technologies. This also includes the new capacities for journey-to-process analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Runtime decreases significantly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The duration of mega deals in the IT services industry has fallen by 40 percent over the last twenty years. In 2000, mega deals were still designed to last almost eight years on average. Today, the average duration is less than five years. In general, the industry has seen a trend towards not only shorter but also smaller contracts over the past twenty years - in a growing market overall. The annual contract value (ACV) for mega deals also follows this pattern. Three years ago, mega deals still accounted for 20 percent of the ACV of the entire IT services market. Today, it is only around twelve percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This decline is not only due to the fact that ACV has decreased from mega deals. It is also due to the fact that the ACV pie has become bigger overall. For example, the ACV for managed services increased by 16% in 2021 compared to the previous year. A large part of this growth comes from contracts with an ACV of less than 20 million US dollars. These smaller deals now form the backbone of the IT services industry, underpinning the general paradigm shift in the sector. This was reported by the Information Services Group (ISG) on the basis of its own market figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For outgoing invoices, processing starts with the standardized SAP interface. Before sending, the eDocuments platform converts the invoice into the format required for the respective country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

xSuite continued its growth trajectory in the 2021 financial year and achieved revenue of EUR 40 million for the Group as a whole while maintaining high profitability.

New customers include the US automotive supplier and medical technology manufacturer Gentherm and the shoe manufacturer Crocs (also in the USA). Cloud first is the model of the future for xSuite. In the future, invoice processing processes will also increasingly be moved to the cloud, for example to the SAP Business Technology Platform. The company is continuing to develop its products in this direction, increasingly using artificial intelligence. More and more SAP users will switch to the new S\/4 Hana product generation and move to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
