The chaos, which was SAP's own fault, caused a maintenance extension for Suite 7 until 2027\/2030. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a step that no one at SAP is taking voluntarily, but which is unavoidable due to the incompatibility of the new S\/4 with the numerous SAP cloud offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now Christian Klein is trying the exit vision: Intelligent Enterprise. However, the intelligent SAP existing customer would need data harmonization, automation and an ERP strategy - not visions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his Sapphire preview keynote, Klein talks about \"innovation and artificial intelligence\" and reveals in a few words that he only has visions and no strategy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"610\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/platzgummer_juni2010_dltz_OhneText.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66916\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/platzgummer_juni2010_dltz_OhneText.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/platzgummer_juni2010_dltz_OhneText-768x468.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/platzgummer_juni2010_dltz_OhneText-100x61.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/platzgummer_juni2010_dltz_OhneText-480x293.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/platzgummer_juni2010_dltz_OhneText-640x390.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/platzgummer_juni2010_dltz_OhneText-720x439.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/platzgummer_juni2010_dltz_OhneText-960x586.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>The cartoon by Robert Platzgummer (1975 to 2016) was first published in June 2010. \"If you have visions, you should see a doctor,\" said E-3 magazine, alluding to the plans of SAP co-CEOs Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe at the time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Artificial intelligence and machine learning could ultimately produce innovations in the hands of SAP's existing customers if SAP does its homework first: synchronize, harmonize, automate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intelligent users for a harmonized and automated ERP, that would be the realistic approach - but of course, in terms of marketing, it can't be sold quite as well on a Sapphire as the \"Intelligent Enterprise\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the unintelligent Christian loses himself in visions, his existing customers are fighting for survival: There is still a huge gap between the real existing ERP (Business Suite 7) and a possible maintenance extension beyond 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SAP has still not solved and officially answered the \"AnyDB\" problem.
