Key Considerations for SAP organizations:
- Understand the impact of leveraging cross-industry knowledge with SAP. As businesses strive to keep up with the rapidly changing landscape, they are looking to other industries for inspiration and new ideas. Cross-industry knowledge is not just about seeking out new ideas; it’s also about applying those ideas at the process level. SAP is uniquely positioned to help its organizations transition to a more digital, data-driven, and integrated business model. With the right approach, cross-industry knowledge with SAP can be a powerful tool for driving innovation and growth.
- Drive process innovation with SAP industry cloud solutions and SAP Model Company. Industry cloud solutions provide cross-industry capabilities that help companies increase agility, optimize business processes, decrease and prepare for disruption, and improve sustainability, creativity, and resilience. Industry cloud solutions are built on top of the SAP Cloud Platform and offer industry-specific functionality that is delivered as a set of reusable cloud services. SAP Model Company is available as ‘Industry’ packages for various sectors and as ‘Line of Business’ packages for cross-industry business functionality. The solution helps companies drive digital transformation by connecting people, businesses, and processes.
- Consider partners to implement proven strategies and best practices for becoming an intelligent cross-industry enterprise. As the world becomes increasingly connected, cross-industry collaboration is essential for addressing important global issues such as climate change and sustainability. However, this can be challenging for companies that are focused on their core business goals. Organizations can leverage experienced partners in cross-industry process innovation, like Deloitte or PwC to help break down silos and work together to address these important challenges. For example, SAP’s partner Accenture created a digital platform that uses Big Data and machine learning to help organizations embed sustainability in core business processes.
