SAP solutions are leading the way in creating intelligent technologies that can help your company become resilient, profitable, and sustainable. We look at what they are currently providing.
What is an Intelligent, Sustainable Enterprise?
New technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), advanced analytics, and blockchain are helping turn businesses into intelligent enterprises. These enterprises have new capabilities that enable their workforces to focus on higher-value outcomes.
An intelligent, sustainable enterprise is one that consistently applies advanced technologies and best practices within agile, integrated business processes. SAP has been helping build sustainable enterprises where you can automate tasks and integrate processes to connect the business end-to-end. This even includes suppliers and partners, allowing full visibility across their organisation.
Intelligent enterprises run agile, integrated business processes, and use advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT). They can analyse and act on customer, partner, and employee sentiment, to ensure they keep their workforce engaged and delivering the products and services that customers actually need. They can gain insight into their environmental impact, and control what sources they spend money on. This all helps organisations make good decisions and adapt to problems, challenges or changes in technology. It can help them run more efficiently, profitable, and become more sustainable.
Intelligent Technologies will Drive a Next Generation Value Economy
End manual repetition: Advances in machine learning are enabling algorithms to become highly accurate in natural language understanding and in image and speech recognition – giving businesses intelligent business-processes automation and the ability to eliminate repetitive manual tasks.
Cut costs: Automation can now be implemented far more cost-effectively because it is embedded more within business processes.
Product chain improvements: IoT can connect the entire value chain, from design to production to supply chain. Data-driven insights of customer preferences can inspire better design, lower material costs, and reduce risk. Real-time analysis of machines can predict maintenance needs, identify potential quality problems in manufacturing processes before they occur, and reduce asset downtime by as much as 50%.
Better analytics and decision-making: The integration of advanced analytics capabilities into applications can inform better decision-making. Empowered users, benefiting from embedded analytics in business processes, can get real-time visibility into their changing environment, simulate the impact of business decisions, and achieve better customer outcomes.
