<\/a>In less than a year, IT companies in Germany face fines in the millions if they have not implemented the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).<\/p>\nHowever, one in five IT and digital companies (19 percent) still say they have not yet addressed the issue at all. This is the result of a recent Bitkom survey.<\/p>
<\/a><\/div>\n\"Time is gradually running out to implement the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation\"<\/p>\n
warns Susanne Dehmel, Head of Trust and Security at Bitkom.

Status quo B2B e-commerce<\/b><\/h4>\n
Study by IBI Research at the University of Regensburg:
\nMore and more companies are turning to online sales.<\/p>\n
Current study results show the status quo and development trends in German B2B e-commerce: \"B2B e-commerce has enormous potential, but is often still in its infancy. The experts surveyed firmly expect B2B purchasing and sales to be increasingly handled via online stores and marketplaces over the next five years - traditional sales channels will not disappear, but will lose relevance,\" says research project manager Georg Wittmann. According to the experts, one of the main reasons for the positive development is that employees' private online behavior is now increasingly reflected in everyday business life. Online shoppers expect the convenience, speed and greater choice that shopping online brings in both their private and business lives. Two thirds of experts see the advantage of obtaining lower prices when shopping via online stores and marketplaces. Investment in artificial intelligence (AI) is booming. Last year, companies, especially large technology groups such as Google and Amazon, spent up to 27 billion dollars on internal research and development for intelligent robots and self-learning computers.<\/p>\n A further twelve billion dollars flowed into AI externally in 2016 - i.e. through private equity companies, venture capitalists or as part of mergers and acquisitions. In total, this amounted to around 39 billion dollars, which is three times as much as in 2013.<\/p>\n The majority of current external investment (around 60 percent) is going into machine learning (up to 7 billion dollars), with image recognition (2.5 billion to 3.5 billion dollars) and speech recognition (600 million to 900 million dollars) being other important fields. In order to remain competitive, e-commerce providers should learn from online retail giants such as Amazon and understand the \"digital genome\" of their customers. This is the only way they can offer them an attractive shopping experience, retain consumers in the long term and thus increase their sales and save costs.<\/p>\n Experts from Roland Berger describe how this works in their new publication \"Inside the customer's head - successfully individualizing retail by decoding the digital customer genome\".<\/p>\n The basis for such offers is the digital customer genome: the customer's purchasing behavior can be predicted not only from the history of purchases, search processes and the evaluation of articles.<\/p>\n Other online data also enables very precise and individualized predictions about what consumers will buy in the future - a scenario that was unimaginable just a few years ago.<\/p>\n \"Social media is a particularly good source for this\"<\/p>\n says Roland Berger expert Tobias Weisel.<\/p>\n \"More and more people are using social media channels to openly show what interests them and how they consume.\"<\/p>\n German Facebook users alone have already left behind around 700 million data points via their Like behavior. In addition, there are around five billion website visits per month, which are stored in browser histories, and almost seven billion search queries, which can be tracked in search histories. More than half of the companies surveyed in a recent IDC study had to deal with attacks on their information technology in the past twelve months.<\/p>\n 36 percent name the improvement of data protection as a topic of high relevance. Behind this are primarily compliance and regulatory requirements such as the EU Data Protection Regulation. The smaller the company, the more likely it is to rely on a security While around two thirds of companies with 500 or more employees that use or plan to use cloud services have a cloud security strategy, only around a third of smaller companies do.<\/p>\n For example, 68 percent of companies with 2,000 or more employees have a cross-divisional security strategy or a strategy for individual divisions.<\/p>\n For companies with 500 to 1,999 employees, the proportion is 61%. In contrast, only 35 percent of companies with 100 to 499 employees have such a strategy, and only 28 percent of companies with 20 to 99 employees.<\/p>\n This is the result of a representative survey conducted by Bitkom Research on behalf of management consultants KPMG.<\/p>\n \"Cloud computing is a basic technology of digitalization. Used correctly, it can not only make business processes more efficient, but also increase security\"<\/p>\n says Axel Pols, Managing Director of Bitkom Research. Atos, a digital transformation provider, runs \"Atos Quantum\", the first industry program in Europe to develop quantum computing solutions that can deliver unprecedented computing power while anticipating future cybersecurity challenges.<\/p>\n In Les Clayes-sous-Bois near Paris - Atos' global research and development hub for supercomputers - the members of the Scientific Advisory Board reviewed the first results of the program since its launch in November 2016.<\/p>\n The SAP Partner Association is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year and organized a congress at which an award for innovative projects in the SAP community was presented for the first time.<\/p>\n Examples and lighthouse projects are very important when technology and organization change. The digital transformation requires courageous innovators who are prepared to test concepts and also to fail. Due to the large number of entries and highly interesting projects, the IA4SP jury decided to award two innovative awards, contrary to the terms of the competition: The company suddenly found itself and its customers confronted with new challenges and changed market situations: SAP bought Ariba and shortly afterwards declared the classic R\/3 SRM obsolete.<\/p>\n What next, 2Bits and its existing customers asked themselves. Knowing full well that changes in the ERP market take time, there was still a need for action. Cloud computing will not stop at supplier relationship management.<\/p>\n An IA4SP award went to 2Bits for the strategic step forward and the innovative start of an SRM discussion.<\/p>\n IoT can hardly be missing from any presentation today. However, many users have not yet fully realized the enormous amount of data generated by IoT sensors. IoT is also big data and without suitable concepts for processing terabytes of sensor data in \"real time\", many Industry 4.0 projects will fail.<\/p>\n The second award winner, Osisoft, not only has concepts, but also numerous reference projects on how industry can tame the flood of IoT data. Of course, Osisoft also received an IA4SP award for this innovative solution and concrete implementation. (pmf) SAP and the Hamburg-based concept shipyard are extending their collaboration for a further five years with the aim of making sailing more accessible through SAP technologies.<\/p>\n Konzeptwerft is providing a team of ten experts for the sponsoring partnership with SAP under the SailTracks brand.<\/p>\n The common goals are to establish the further development of SAP technologies in sailing and SAP solutions in the international sailing world, to provide regatta sailors and coaches with tools and to make sailing more attractive to a wider audience thanks to modern transmission technologies.<\/p>\n The SAP Sailing Analytics software was developed as part of the cooperation. This proved that SAP solutions can professionalize an entire sport and at the same time make it more accessible to fans. As Deloitte's Global Automotive Consumer Study shows, the principle of self-driving cars in particular is meeting with growing skepticism among Germans and demand has even fallen slightly compared to 2014.<\/p>\n The majority (72%) still have security concerns, but 47% have been convinced by positive experience and evidence. However, only just over a quarter in Germany would bear higher costs for security-relevant new technologies.<\/p>\n A \"generation gap\" is evident in all countries: the younger the respondents, the greater the chance of success for new mobility concepts. Of German millennials, 32% are interested in self-driving cars; in China, the figure is as high as 64%.<\/p>\n \"On the one hand, Germans are seen as believers in technology, but on the other hand they are also rather aloof when it comes to visions of the future. The self-driving car is failing among German consumers primarily due to safety concerns.<\/p>\n Here, manufacturers should provide tests and evidence that also strengthen broader trust in the technology and traditional brands in this country,\" explains Thomas Schiller, Head\/Partner Automotive at Deloitte. 72 percent of Germans feel that safety in autonomous mode is not yet adequate (South Korea: 81 percent, China: 62 percent).<\/p>\n In Germany, however, the majority of consumers (51 percent) generally trust established vehicle manufacturers when it comes to new technologies - unlike the Chinese and Indians, who rely on new suppliers.<\/p>\n In contrast to the US (+3 percent) and Chinese (+4.2 percent), German consumers are less interested in self-driving cars today than they were three years ago (-2.8 percent).<\/p>\n \"The next Digital Agenda must draw up a program for the whole of Germany and weave together the digital patchwork\"<\/p>\n says Thomas Schiller.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here you will find all articles from our popular \"SAPananoptikum\" section clearly listed.
