Nowadays, it is possible that business people around the world with innovative and modern technologies are really excited and with ease when SAP made a partnership with Apple related to the innovative system and information technology solutions for the growth and success of business enterprises. What is really the reason why SAP partners with Apple? In this article, let’s discover and learn why SAP agreed of partnership with Apple.
A month ago, SAP announced updates to their technological solutions including collaborative projects in relation with technology industries to assist businesses moving forward and possible to adopt towards digital innovation during the SAPPHIRE NOW and ASUG (America’ SAP User’s Group) Annual Conference event held at the Orange Country Country Convention Center, Orlando Florida from May 7 to 9, 2019. The three-day event highlighted new offerings of Qualtrics solutions to enhance experience management (XM), updates for SAP HANA® and SAP® Cloud Platform to provide easier data accessibility, collaboration of SAP and Apple to expand its app services to iOS and Mac, and collaborations with Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and global strategic service partners (GSSPs) to guide users in the cloud through project “Embrace.”
“For Philippine businesses to secure growth and maintain high-quality performance in the digital landscape, they must continuously integrate new solutions into their current systems to ensure that they exceed customer expectations,” according to Edler Panlilio, Managing Director, SAP Philippines. “The new data management solutions, product roadmaps, and updates to SAP HANA, as well as other applications that were announced during this year’s SAPPHIRE NOW event, can be utilized by all types of businesses in the Philippines regardless of size, especially that they present next-gen capabilities to support them to achieve their desired outcomes, and make the world run better.”
Did you know that SAP is the market leader in enterprise application software, helping companies of all sizes and in all industries run at their best: 77% of the world’s transaction revenue touches an SAP system? They provide ERP and Digital Core, Digital Platform, Intelligent Technologies, Analytics, CRM and Customer Experience, HR and People Engagement, Digital Supply Chain and Network and Spend Management.
SAP Paves Path towards Intelligent Enterprises with Experience Management SAPPHIRE NOW also rolled out ten Qualtrics solutions during the event. These tools aimed to emphasize experience management as a crucial factor for business growth and positive breakthroughs. With these solutions, organizations can enhance the way they interact with consumers by utilizing the experience data (X-data) and operational data (O-data) and, embedding them into existing CRM, ERP, and HCM systems, as well as to the SAP® C/4HANA suite.
The combination of data and its integration to existing solutions help organizations to gain insights from the values, intention, and emotions of employees, customers, partners, and stakeholders. Business entities can then base strategies around these trends to improve customer and employee relationships, along with the quality of product and brand. Evolution of SAP HANA® and SAP® Cloud Platform Provides Quick Data Management Service Meanwhile, SAP also introduced updates for SAP HANA Cloud Services and SAP Cloud Platform to assist organizations in outgrowing the competition and deliver unique customer experience through fluid data processes.
With new SAP HANA® Cloud Services, SAP aims to bring the power and performance of the SAP HANA database to the cloud where it acts as a single gateway to data of any size to address the challenges of distributed data landscapes. The combination of the in-memory technology of SAP HANA with data virtualization results in simplicity for data consumers and flexibility for data management. A data lake storage tier helps businesses to grow their data managed by SAP HANA without limits. On-premise customers of SAP HANA are aimed to gain more benefit from the new cloud services as they can flexibly add capacity as needed.
At the same time, SAP® Cloud Platform is evolving further into a business technology platform, helping customers to easily extend and integrate SAP applications with differentiating capabilities. SAP and partners alike enrich the platform by contributing and scaling their business expertise.
What intrigued me is when SAP Expands Native App Portfolio to iOS and Mac. They announced that CORE ML®, Apple’s on-device machine learning technology, will be available for the first time as part of the SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS. The next version of the SAP Cloud Platform SDK, available later this month, enables businesses to create custom, intelligent iOS apps powered by SAP Leonardo. Machine learning models will automatically download to iPhone® and iPad® so apps can run offline, and then dynamically update while connected to SAP Cloud Platform.
Through the technological partnership with Apple, SAP has rebuilt its most popular mobile apps for SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Concur solutions, along with SAP Asset Manager, to run natively on iOS. These apps are fully integrated with iPhone and iPad, to maximize security, performance and the latest platform innovations from Apple. SAP today announced it will expand its native iOS experience across its broader applications portfolio, starting with SAP Ariba solutions. SAP concluded the event with solutions to help companies enter the digital world and become intelligent enterprises. The company continues to provide key business functions for organizations to run better operations and strategies.
At the end of the day, as entrepreneurs, owners, investors and management of business enterprises let’s invest our resources and wealth through adaptation of innovative products and services for the growth and success of its business operations. Investors and owners really need to know the features of the products that they will purchase or invest including its relevance, security and usefulness in the society.
