In the latest episode of Cloud Wars Live, Thomas Saueressig, an executive board member and head of customer services and delivery at SAP, discusses the significant impact of AI and the RISE with SAP initiative on reshaping enterprise agility and innovation strategies.
SAP is focused on business transformation rather than just technology transformation. The new board area, customer services and delivery, aims to assist customers in moving to the cloud and embracing innovations like AI to enhance business agility and efficiency. Collaboration is key at SAP as they partner closely with hyperscalers for optimal cloud operations and system integrators for business transformation. This co-engineering approach ensures high availability and promotes SAP’s cloud solutions through their partners.
SAP emphasizes the importance of not delaying digital transformation. By showcasing examples like Fresenius and BMW, SAP highlights how moving to the cloud and adopting new technologies can be accelerated and simplified, providing customers with faster upgrades and new capabilities. Saueressig’s quote emphasizes the idea that there is no better time than now to start investing in digital capabilities. The focus on RISE from SAP and GROW with SAP aims to further support companies in their journey towards innovation and agility.
