The Intelligent Enterprise
In today’s fast-moving world, businesses are constantly dealing with changes. What becomes clear is businesses with a digital strategy have been at an advantage to adapt to and navigate the crisis better. The COVID-19 crisis has made this imperative more urgent than ever. It has pushed companies over the technology tipping point and speeded up the adoption of digital technologies by several years.
Shifts during the crisis are most likely to stick through the recovery or have been transformed forever. To stay ahead, businesses need to adjust to evolving customer needs or expectations, increase remote working and online collaborations, build redundancy and full visibility in the supply chain with the qualification of additional suppliers, and use advanced technologies in operations and business decision-making. SAP’s products and services address this need for agility by delivering software services to enable businesses to integrate and extend end-to-end (E2E) business processes, create new business models, and ultimately run as intelligent enterprises.
Even though this book is mainly about SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), it is important to understand the overall framework and how SAP BTP is fitting into the picture as the platform of Intelligent Enterprise. In this chapter, we are going to cover the following topics:
- What is Intelligent Enterprise?
