Building Resilience and InnovationMar 20, 2023 — Organizations today are facing a myriad of challenges. An uncertain macroeconomic climate, rising capital costs, a continued increase in global cybersecurity threats, supply chain issues, and skill shortages all impact their ability to innovate. These raise questions about the ability to ensure business continuity and understand where investment should occur and how to reduce costs without impacting growth.
Business continuity should be the starting point for any conversation, not just for SAP systems but for everything that communicates with them. That continuity should involve reducing downtime, but it extends to the move to the cloud, securing systems, and providing a technology platform. That technology platform needs to be designed for SAP solutions and should provide information on tuning and maintaining those solutions.
• Start by building a technology platform that provides improved business continuity.
• Ensure that any technology platform being implemented provides a secure foundation for both SAP and non-SAP systems.
• Don’t underestimate the benefits that a properly managed technology platform can bring.

Data Archiving and DecommissioningMar 14, 2023 — Data is the most valuable asset of any company, and that is doubly true for the data that is in SAP systems. But as organizations transform their systems to better meet today’s needs, there will inevitably be legacy systems that must be decommissioned as new solutions are deployed. Managing the data that is in those legacy systems can be a major challenge for organizations that need to ensure they comply to changing regulations around data privacy, residency, and sovereignty especially as they look to reduce the volume of data moved into new solutions.
o In addition to the increasing volume of data that organizations are collecting is the need to archive and manage that data in a way that is both compliant and efficient.
o Data privacy, residency, and sovereignty are questions that must be answered for current systems as well as any data archives.
o An archiving and decommissioning strategy is a major asset for any organization running legacy systems or for those moving to SAP S/4HANA.

Integrating Analytics and Automation for Supply Chain ResiliencyMar 9, 2023 — Pandemic-related supply chain disruptions have caught the attention of C-suite executives. Leadership now recognizes the importance of supply chain resiliency and are prioritizing and investing in strategies to improve supply chain agility. Resilient supply chains not only mitigate or manage supply chain ris and disruptions efficiently, but they also improve customer service. However, the capabilities needed for building resilient supply chains are wide ranging and must offer end-to-end real-time visibility, and real-time planning and executing abilities. Analytics and automation are two prominent techniques that organizations use for developing supply chain resiliency. SAPinsider’s September 2022 research report Process Automation in Supply Chain highlighted that organizations view analytics and automation as foundational to building resilient supply chains. To gather more insights into how organizations can build supply chain resiliency, SAPinsider recently spoke with Samuel Gosling, a product manager with insightsoftware,a global provider of reporting, analytics, and performance management solutions.

Foundational SAP SecurityMar 3, 2023 — Security breaches are discussed in the media multiple times a week and the targets are not only major corporations. Smaller enterprises can be just as vulnerable. There is also a knowledge gap when it comes to securing SAP systems not just from a network perspective but in terms of the cloud as well. No matter what SAP applications an organization is running, or what landscape they are using, it is critical that they put a security foundation in place that will help them both protect and secure their SAP systems and the data within them.
• Securing SAP landscapes involves protecting individual SAP systems and services as well as the network they run on and the integration points between them.
• The most effective security involves starting early and building an integrated foundation of services that communicate and provide information in a central location.

Building a Platform for the FutureFeb 9, 2023 — Organizations are in the process of transitioning many of their workloads to the cloud. This is particularly true of SAP systems where there is frequently a need for new infrastructure that will provide additional flexibility and scalability while reducing cost. Cloud environments are the most likely choice for organizations as they seek to create a platform for the future, but there are important questions that must be answered as these landscape transformation and digitization projects get underway.
To better understand these challenges, SAPinsider sat down with Andreas Schmidt, Offering Manager for SAP Digitalization at T-Systems. Schmidt says that many organizations that he works with are in the process of moving to SAP S/4HANA and planning a digitalization process for which they already have a roadmap. But the challenge they face is that there is no common approach to that deployment. Every landscape is unique, and each organization has different priorities and constraints that need to be considered. Many of these organizations are looking for advice as they create their roadmaps to address these challenges.
- Deploying a platform for the future involves answering questions around sustainability, innovations, and integration with other applications.
- Finding the right partner to assist with these challenges can help ensure the success of these deployments.

Building Cloud Infrastructure in Your LandscapeDec 27, 2022 — In order to run today’s SAP systems, you need infrastructure that will not just support SAP HANA, but that which will provide the foundation for future innovation. While some organizations are looking at the cloud to meet these infrastructure needs, others continue to invest in local infrastructure. But the option of a managed environment on-premise that provides both a cloud like experience and an operational expenditure cost may be a third option that you hadn’t considered.
• Organizations are updating infrastructure as they update their SAP solutions.
• There is an increased need to iterate rapidly while putting in place infrastructure that reduces costs and adds flexibility and performance.
• Managed environments on-premise can provide the same benefits as a cloud environment while residing in your data center.
