RISE with SAP and Master the Pivot with the Cloud
RISE with SAP and Master the Pivot with the Cloud
First off - wishing everyone a Happy New Year, on to a better 2021 for all of us. Times are still tough out there, especially here in London, but I am convinced of light at the end of the vaccination tunnel.
Starting off in 2021, one of the things I did was take another look at Gartner’s Top Strategic Technology Trends for 2021. The industry analyst firm based its predictions on three themes: people centricity, location independence, and resilient delivery.
These themes also show the critical role of the cloud supporting these trends as well the required business transformation, not only in 2020, but certainly for 2021 and beyond. Cloud technology keeps people connected and enables collaboration in a distributed work environment. Companies can become more location-independent by adopting the cloud, and they can become more resilient through the ability to adapt more quickly.
Today we can even bring the cloud to companies, who previously could not adopt the cloud due to specific requirements. As part of our Enterprise Cloud Services portfolio, we launched SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, customer edition. It helps more companies on their path to becoming an intelligent enterprise in collaboration with our business network partners.In 2021, companies will have more choices than ever to use the cloud to protect their business and innovate on their own terms. They can use the cloud to optimize their infrastructure, ensure operational continuity, even in volatile business environments, and adapt business models more quickly.
To get started with your (SAP) journey to the cloud, mark your calendars for RISE with SAP on January 27, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. EST / 4:00 pm CET. SAP CEO Christian Klein and guests will discuss the key technologies and processes that accelerate business transformation and what SAP has in store to help businesses move forward smarter, faster, and more nimbly. https://www.sap.com/about/events/rise-with-sap.html
At the heart of most recent innovation is the cloud. I am excited for the next stage of cloud adoption to accelerate business- and digital transformation, to bring our world together in new agile and resilient ways. The new mastery of the pivot will be enabled by the (SAP) cloud.
