The Future of SAP : Business AI and S / 4HANA As we look to the future , SAP is positioning itself as a leader in business AI , with a steadfast goal of integrating AI across all business processes . Tony envisions AI becoming a game -changer for supply chain management , particularly in processing vast amounts of data quickly and accurately .
“ Business AI is going to be one of the game changers – not the only game changer , but certainly one of them – in being able to process data in the context of the current situation and make suggestions as to the best course of action or courses of action that us humans can then implement ,” Tony adds .
This focus on AI is part of SAP ’ s broader strategy to continue innovating and providing cutting-edge solutions to its customers . Another significant aspect of this strategy is the transition from SAP ’ s
Enterprise Central Component ( ECC ) ERP , to the next generation , SAP S / 4HANA .
SAP S / 4HANA represents a significant leap forward in ERP technology , offering enhanced capabilities and flexibility , particularly in cloud deployment . “ We can ’ t continue to innovate on a legacy platform when the market is driving us more towards that cloud base ,” Tony notes .
“ Companies have got a target to consider to really get off the old stack and get onto the new stack and be able to take advantage of some of these great new capabilities and technologies like business AI and the analytics capabilities that we offer .”
