5 Reasons Why Building a Relationship Is Like Building a Business
Building a business and building a relationship have more in common than you think. We at SAP know what it takes to build long-lasting relationships with our customers, partners, stakeholders, and employees.
So this Valentine’s Day, we share the core values of our products and solutions and how they can help your relationships and businesses run better.
1. Turning insight into action
Actions speak louder than words. Pay attention to them, make sense of them and then act accordingly. Getting to know your partner on a deeper level will help you find out what you need to do to strengthen your relationship.
In the same way, businesses use SAP solutions for analytics to help discover deep insights and critical information to accelerate growth and take their business to the next level.

2. Listen, understand and act
When it comes to solving problems, you have to do what makes you both happy – fast! Listening and understanding how you both feel will help you identify one single solution. By being adaptive and agile, you are able to resolve conflicts more easily, building trust in your relationship.
An in-memory database management system like SAP HANA allows businesses to access real-time data quickly and gain a single view of the truth across the organization. This way, businesses are able to make trusted decisions faster and improve business outcomes.
