SAP NOW AI TOUR
When you solve that business problem, how much value should that deliver to the business? I should see it in my P & L – either costs down, revenue up or working capital. What customers are realising is that core applications need to be in the cloud and need to be natively integrated. Then they start thinking about how they can connect different data sources and start building intelligent applications on top. Ultimately, in procurement – whether it’ s contract intelligence, AI for negotiations, third-party risk factors, autonomous buying, issuing an RFP – what we’ re seeing is a change from a procure-to-pay process that has 15 steps, to a complete rethink of how the procurement process is executed with AI. We’ re not there yet, but a lot of our customers are on their journey. In the past, SAP was a vendor of technology; now, we’ re a business partner and we are on this journey together.
How much do you enjoy seeing SAP and its partners and customers coming together in one place? This is what’ s all about. The insights you get from face-to-face conversations and coffee chats are super important. What’ s the challenge you faced? How did you solve this data problem? How do you think about driving user adoption? We are doubling down on this and we will be back next year.
