Tech tools in focus this week

Each week our newsletter focusses on different technology tools.

This week it deals with Experience-Centric Intelligent Digital Workspaces.

Based upon our 20+ years’ experience in Business and IT Transformation projects, we recommend the following tools.

EXPERIENCE-CENTRIC INTELLIGENT DIGITAL WORKSPACES

?? SAP Build Work Zone ?

• A unified digital workspace: SAP Build Work Zone supports building blocks of content, user interface (UI) integration cards, and home page widgets to embed and display SAP or third-party business data in one workspace. Guided experiences sit on top of workflows to guide the user journey.
• Streamlined user tasks: SAP Task Center is used within SAP Build Work Zone to act as a unified inbox to provide one place for all approvals and to dos. Global announcements can be tracked for reads and to check length of time spent on content items with native SAP analytics, or with third-party tools such as Google Analytics or Qualtrics. Customers have noted that SAP Build Work Zone provided a friendly UI and access to all functionality on the mobile app.
• Seamless connection to a comprehensive product suite: SAP Build Work Zone is used to connect the SAP suite of capabilities — including SAP S/4 HANA, SAP Success Factors, and SAP Integrated Business Planning solutions — to handle workflow and collaboration of tasks across multiple IT and business users. SAP Build Work Zone offers pre-built workspace templates with public, private, or external access and an impersonation feature to preview workspaces in-context of specific audience segments.
• Integrated apps: SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Integrated BusinessPlanning, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft SharePoint Online

?? ServiceNow

As always our recommendation is staying within your software family, e.g., if you are on Microsoft, stick with Microsoft, if you are on SAP, stick with SAP.

Even more exciting than private use is business use, e.g., to make program and project management even more effective and efficient or generally for the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce and/or SAP S/4 HANA. I will be talking about these topics in the next newsletters.

It should be noted that rapid development is expected over the next few months, so I will be reporting on progress on an ongoing basis.
