NTT DATA to connect SAP S/4HANA with Siemens’ SiGREEN
Meet the Authors
Key Takeaways
⇨ Organizations in industrial manufacturing, energy, and natural resources are prioritizing zero-carbon goals, targeting a 45% emissions reduction by 2030 and Net Zero by 2050.
⇨ Technologies like NTT DATA's integration of SAP S/4HANA with Siemens' SiGREEN are essential for managing and reducing carbon footprints throughout the value chain.
⇨ The automated data flow established between SAP S/4HANA and SiGREEN enhances data-driven decision-making, enabling accurate tracking and management of product-level emissions.
Zero-carbon goals are getting increasingly important for organizations, especially in the industrial manufacturing, energy, and natural resources sectors. Organizations in these industries have set specific goals to reduce their carbon footprint in line with the benchmark goal of Net Zero Emissions by 2050.
As companies strive to reduce their emissions by 45% by 2030, as set under the Paris Agreement, to reach Net Zero by 2050, technologies like Siemens’ SiGREEN solution are helping to simplify the management of product-level emissions or Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). This solution also assists in managing and reducing emissions along the entire value chain.
On the other hand, many industrial manufacturing, energy, and natural resources companies use platforms like SAP S/4HANA to manage their master data, which also includes their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data, which is imperative to measure their sustainability goals. In fact, according to SAP insider’s Benchmark Report on Deployment Approaches to SAP S/4HANA released earlier this year, 29% of the organizations deploying SAP S/4HANA belong to these industries.
Now, solutions like NTT DATA’s SAP integration with SiGREEN help these organizations securely connect their SAP S/4HANA data with SiGREEN to accelerate their decarbonization goals.
A proof-of-concept at Swiss Innovation Park Biel/Bienne has also successfully validated the solution’s ability to automate end-to-end product data integration between SAP S/4 HANA and SiGREEN. The latter is also Catena-X ready, enabling automakers to gather emissions data from their value chain by connecting with their partners.
The combined solution will be available as part of the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace.
How the new solution helps SAP users:
- It establishes an automated data flow by connecting SAP S/4HANA with SiGREEN for crucial master data about products.
- The integration helps users make accurate data-driven decisions on reducing their product’s carbon footprint across the value chain.
- Utilizing their SAP data with SiGREEN, users can simplify the management of product-level emissions by aggregating up-to-date and actual emissions data across the value chain.
- Users can determine and verify complete emissions data of an organization’s products within established standards.
