In the coming decades, humanity will accomplish feats that once seemed like magic to previous generations. The rapid pace of innovation, driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technologies, is allowing us to tackle challenges that were once thought insurmountable. Some experts are even referring to this period as the "intelligent age."
As our capabilities expand, businesses are strategically integrating AI and other technologies. SAP is at the forefront, offering smarter business transformation services by combining cutting-edge tools with human expertise to help organizations harness the full potential of these advancements.
Achieve tangible results and unlock your full potential with AI-powered solutions embedded throughout your business.
In this new era, the convergence of cloud technologies, AI, and human intelligence is leading to significant breakthroughs in areas such as demand forecasting, supply chain resilience, and process automation. This shift allows businesses to focus more on high-value tasks and real-time collaboration, enhancing efficiency and fostering innovation.
However, while the opportunities are vast, success is not guaranteed. The organizations that thrive in this new age will be those that can digitally transform their operations in more intelligent ways to ensure long-term success. For instance, fully utilizing business AI often begins with transitioning to a cloud ERP like SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
Winning in the intelligent age requires a fresh and more advanced approach to business transformation, with high stakes.
Blending Human Expertise with Technology
Although the potential of AI-driven cloud systems is enormous, many businesses still struggle to fully capitalize on them. Digital transformations often fail to meet expectations due to challenges like lack of technical expertise, low employee engagement, insufficient management support, poor cross-functional collaboration, and lack of accountability. Sustaining the impact of transformation also requires a shift in mindset and behaviors.
The most difficult part of transformation isn’t always knowing what needs to be done, but understanding how to do it effectively. To address these issues, SAP builds on a proven approach by combining advanced tools with human judgment to elevate the process.
Central to this strategy is RISE with SAP, a transformative initiative designed to help businesses undergo continuous transformation. So far, 7,000 companies—representing 32% of the global economy—have embraced RISE with SAP, benefiting from lower operating costs and reduced inventory levels.
A key element of this approach is the involvement of enterprise architects—transformation experts who guide businesses through the complexities of digital transformation. These experts ensure that businesses maximize the value of SAP tools and services.
Enterprise architects not only assist with the RISE with SAP methodology, but also coordinate all aspects of transformation, guiding customers to the modular cloud suite. This streamlined process makes enterprise architects trusted advisors, helping clients transform holistically across processes, data, systems, and people, ensuring long-term success.
SAP has seen strong internal support for this approach, with experienced professionals eager to take on these roles. Our recruitment and tailored training programs are underway, with hundreds of individuals currently undergoing training. We’re also refining our operational and commercial models to simplify customer engagement, and early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
