Successors are currently dominating events: On the executive floor, Generation X is following the baby boomers. Among employees, millennials are taking over. And in corporate IT, SAP S\/4 Hana is replacing Business Suite or even R\/3. What\u2019s remarkable is that while everyone keeps talking about how we need to be innovative and constantly reinvent ourselves, we have a hard time dealing with the natural generational shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could be so simple \u2013 a new generation of people shapes a new generation of software. Instead, the current market situation shows that historically evolved structures persist and are highly complex, making transformation a rather challenging task. So, how can this complexity be mitigated and thus the change actively shaped, instead of just reactively managing SAP\u2019s product cycle?<\/p>

RISE with SAP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SAP offers several approaches: \u201cRISE with SAP\u201d is the latest initiative out of Walldorf. It combines several intelligent enterprise modules into a single subscription model. SAP and partners manage the technical complexity, while customers concentrate on their business challenges. Rise is a single-contract offering that provides a path to the intelligent enterprise for every customer, regardless of starting point or complexity. Subscription-based offerings have a single responsible contractor for service level agreement (SLA), operations, and support. The holistic approach goes beyond a technical migration to the cloud to enable a continuous transformation towards the intelligent enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intelligent enterprise is not a finished product, but rather a holistic approach to establishing a system architecture that makes business insights transparent to all. Meeting the end-to-end needs of business users, even though data reside in silos\u2014that\u2019s the challenge. Making the information available in a visually concise way on all channels at the push of a button is a clear expectation of users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, a new generation of IT leaders and a new generation of SAP users can shape different ways of approaching and working with innovative technologies. And it is precisely this combination that is driving change. Instagram-style work requires a smartphone, Google-like response times require in-memory technology, end-to-end thinking no longer accepts hurdles posed by system boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No longer mere administrators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also new are the possibilities of the intelligent enterprise in terms of understanding the value that a new generation brings. After all, success is no longer defined exclusively by sales and profit, as COVID-19 has shown. Rather, the focus is on employees, including values such as sustainability and social commitment (corporate social responsibility). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because\u2014and this is what concerns us all\u2014what use is all the technology if it does not add value to people\u2019s lives? When IT leaders with a millennial\u2019s understanding of values focus on people and sustainability, the vision of the intelligent enterprise can become reality. A new generation of employees wants more, and the new generation of software can do more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the crux of the matter is: There is no blueprint for the intelligent enterprise. Rather, it is a composition of innovation, creativity, and value. An answer to: What do I want to be? How can I achieve it? At this point, IT leaders move from being an administrator to a shaper. What they need to manage this shift is courage, people, togetherness \u2013 and if new technologies support this cause, then all the better.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
