In this issue of SAPinsider Magazine, Boomi’s CEO talks with us on both integration and AI innovation, with the message that integration plus automation equals innovation. For SAPinsiders, innovation can mean utilizing the cloud for gains with artificial intelligence, alongside improvements in agility and workforce skills.
Low-code can also inspire innovation amongst end users. Consider how process automation can significantly reduce the time staff needed to spend on manual tasks. Innovation can be said to become democratized for the entire workforce, through automation and an edging away from complex skill sets. As SAPinsiders are aware, the pool of SAP development talent is not a resource infinite in nature. Low-code tech offerings could therefore help to reduce the costs and risks involved in moving SAP instances to the cloud, risks exacerbated if not enough of the right talent is on board in your organization.
This issue delves into the innovation prospect with AI driving case studies from the likes of Motor Oil, the Red Hat-SAP-IBM partnership and transformation in specific industries such as manufacturing. Also covered are PwC’s sustainability efforts with SAP tech, Kyriba’s thoughts on breaking the liquidity gridlock, and the EY solution for “permacrisis” in the supply chain. There’s also an inspiring look at the technology engine behind the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team.
Meanwhile, from SAPinsider’s sister platform Mastering SAP comes great advice from female leaders in SAP’s Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) ecosystem on starting and empowering a meaningful career in tech. Capping this off is an insightful interview with Angela Colantuono, SAP’s ANZ president where she talks about leadership, challenges, transformation and customer centricity.
Other execs talking innovation in this issue include SAP’s chief AI officer and its chief futurist, with an exclusive visit to an SAP AI center in France.
Enjoy this latest issue, SAPinsiders – we hope you find it a treasure trove of useful information to help you master your SAP systems in this age of AI innovation.
