Bring Out Your Best.  A simple statement that holds a powerful truth to it, one that is the pivotal theme to this year’s SAP Sapphire and ASUG Conference.  When people think of their best, what comes to mind?  Perhaps personal success in the form of accolades and rewards; to others, reaching a destination at the end of their journey.  For us here in SAP Supply Chain Management, we want one thing: to break down silos!

Whether we realize it or not, supply chain impacts an entire company, and efficient processes cannot be run through siloed processes with expected success. However, good news – there’s something companies can do about it.

Find out how SAP breaks down those walls to turn supply chains into a strategic, sustainable asset and what you can expect to learn and experience at the Sapphire and ASUG Annual Conference.

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Drive Business Innovation

Over the last year, Generative AI and AI have been the hottest topic in board rooms across the world, sparking conversations on the latest innovations and technologies that companies can utilize to promote efficiency and drive out complacency.   AI’s relevancy in supply chain is growing daily, addressing challenges from design to operate, as it helps augment the workforce in warehouses and factories through data-driven tools, empowering people within the supply chain to make more informed and timely decisions.

Technologies, as such, have the power to be a transformative force in organizations’ supply chains.  In its utilization, companies can develop smarter assets and products, driving out process inefficiencies, and connecting real-time information to their equipment and products, allowing for innovative business models.  Attendees can now see this technology in action at Sapphire 2024 at these enticing sessions:

I’m Still Standing: Resilience Built into Your Supply Chain

Expect the unexpected has been a statement that’s rung true through supply chains globally. Disruptions can come in many forms – from geopolitical unrest to a surge in demand – both qualifying as a disturbance to your processes. Companies now need to have the ability to not only sense, identify, or predict these disruptions, but also have the visibility built in to adapt to them, as well. Understanding and pinpointing critical areas of risk and opportunity is key to an agile supply chain, as building resiliency into business processes allows companies to stand the test of time.

Companies now have the ability to see disruptions before they happen and have the systems in place to not only sense it but respond to it.  One of the main ways to drive resiliency throughout your supply chain is having those foundational interconnections between those systems, especially between the functional areas of your business.   Interoperability throughout your ecosystem is key, and Sapphire attendees have the chance to learn more at these exciting sessions:

Let’s Talk: Interoperability Across Your Systems

Scalability at large. Rapid deployment of innovation. Ease of adoption. One may question the connection between these three, and they all come to one word: Cloud. SAP’s Cloud ERP allows companies to work in an interoperable system, letting them work across end-to-end departments and solutions to manage cross-functional business processes. In a sense, when organizations successfully integrate the entire supply chain process – from design, planning, and manufacturing to logistics, maintenance, and service – and then integrate that into the rest of the business via native, in-depth ERP, they can drive differentiation.

In today’s digital age, why is this important?

It allows companies to run as an intelligent enterprise, which, in turns, connects the processes that promote better contextualized decisions.  These vital decisions are not only based on data from the business side, but in conjunction with the organizations’ operational side, as well.  This holistic approach promotes internal connectivity, opening the door for a seamless interconnected ecosystem, where organizations can transform the information without complex systems and multiple providers.   Those attending Sapphire can learn more about driving interoperability in a Cloud based environment at these innovative sessions:
