Second SAP Data Intelligence Content Sprint Concluded

The SAP Data Intelligence product management team recently led a Global Program that focused on business scenarios and building content for SAP Data Intelligence. Moreover, the SAP Data Intelligence product management team and other SAP teams provided mentors for each partner to ensure close collaboration between SAP and our key partners. This Global Program was connected to the APJ One Packathon that focused on Business Content for SAP Data Warehouse Cloud and SAP Data Intelligence.

All APJ partners used SAP Data Intelligence systems provided by partners Dell and Red Hat.

 

Across the globe, our 10 involved partners brought us innovative business cases and built ready-to-use content for SAP Data Intelligence.

 

Business Content for SAP Data Intelligence is an important enabler for the following reasons:

  • It focuses on a specific scenario, industry, or line-of-business
  • It provides an easy starting point, giving customers a quick start so they don’t have to start from scratch
  • It can easily be adapted for specific customer requirements

Business Content on SAP Data Intelligence may include artifacts such as data pipelines, machine learning algorithms, operators, docker files, just to name a few content types.

 

The goal of the global initiative was to provide ready-to-use custom Business Content packages that customers can implement quickly, reducing the time required to develop and implement a new use case on SAP Data Intelligence. These and other business cases can be discovered at: https://www.sap.com/dataintelligenceusecases

 

The partners provided the scenario based on their industry and line-of business expertise, developed all related pipelines, connection templates, machine learning algorithms, operator configurations, and any other specific content required to implement their use case.

Each partner solution can be deployed on SAP Data Intelligence. In most cases the use case will use multiple systems, for example SAP Data Warehouse Cloud, SAP HANA, SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Cloud for Service, SAP Business Warehouse, etc.

Each partner can work with you on adjusting the content to your specific endpoints and any customizations required for usage in your environment.

We would like to thank our partners for their active contribution in organizing and delivering  stellar and innovative business content packages.  Below is a list of all partner scenarios with links to blogs, business cases, podcasts, and more.

Partner: DataXStream

Blog – Scenario Description:  Intelligent Automation for purchase order processing

Video:  IA by DataXstream featuring iOC (intelligent Order Creation)

Video:  DataXstream OMS+ia

Industry: Wholesale Distribution

Podcast Let’s Talk Data Episode 46: Building DataXstream’s Intelligent Automation with SAP Data Intelligence

Business Case:  Robotic Process Automation

Distributor receives purchase orders for materials from customers in files with different layouts and formats. The material descriptions used by customers often differ from what exists in the vendor’s system. Distributor manually processes each order request through manual data entry and material searching. On average, manual processing of each line item on an order takes a minimum of 30 seconds for an experienced sales representative, and up to 2 minutes for the less experienced. On average, a 10-item order would take anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 minutes.​

​The solution will reduce the amount of time to process orders of non-standardized formats by 80% with a chain of models that parse and predict text that is critical for creating orders, including customer and material information.

 

Partner:  Deloitte

Scenario Description: Intelligent Data Reconciliation

Industry: Cross-Industry

SAP S/4HANA implementations require project teams to spend excessive amounts of time and manual effort to oversee the ETL and reconciliation process of migrated financial data.  There is a mandatory reconciliation requirement of 100%-dollar value match for migrated data for successful go-live as well as to meet the compliance and auditory obligations. Manual effort leads to late detection of issues and inefficient use of resources processes elongating the cutover period with no automation.​

​This solution uses SAP Data Intelligence  to integrate data from multiple sources (legacy and target) and inject intelligence and automation to build a financial reconciliation tool and instantly generate reports as soon as financial data is extracted, transformed, and loaded into the target system. This increase in transparency will support early detection of issues in data quality or load programs, and subsequently support accelerated data migration reconciliation activities. ​

 

Partner: DXC

Scenario Description: Digital Transformation with Micro Services

Industry: Cross-industry

Business Case:  Automated Supplier Invoice Management

This solution leverages micro services for digital transformation to simplify invoice processing and detect and correct duplications.

 

Blog – Scenario Description: Maintenance and Reliability Intelligence

Industry: Utilities, Oil & Gas and other Asset Intensive Industries

Business Case:  Maintenance and Reliability Intelligence

Monitoring and managing assets in a cost-effective and timely manner are challenging organizations to implement effective and efficient processes and ensure high safety, reliability, and compliance within Asset Management processes.​

Process discovery and improvement have arisen as a popular industry topic that can be applied to Asset Intensive businesses. This solution will take traditional Asset Maintenance analytics and make it ‘process aware’.  A process map, powered by SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Data Intelligence,  will enable several animated views, and present this together with a collection of Asset Maintenance KPIs to provide insights from a maintenance process perspective.​

This solution bridges the gap between pure Analytics solutions and professional Process Mining tools to enable an integrated management view of assets.

 

Partner: EY India

Scenario Description: Dealer 360

Industry: Cross-Industry

Dealer management is important for any business that relies extensively on dealers. Without the proper analysis of dealer data, it becomes challenging to manage the dealers with respect to various metrics such as margin, orders, scheme allocation, etc.​

​This solution helps businesses identify and segregate dealers based on profit margin, volume & value of goods sold, credit limit, collections, schemes allowed and the response to them. It can also help dealers with the right ordering quantity thereby improving their prospects.​

The solution uses SAP Data Intelligence and SAP Data Warehouse Cloud based multi facet recommendation engine for dealer to build suggestive monthly orders based on:​

  1. Historical orders from dealers​
  2. Inventory movements to push discounts and offers for slow moving/ aged goods​
  3. Market Basket Analysis of secondary sales data for providing insights to the dealer for their customer buying patterns

 

Scenario Description: Email-Classifier

Industry: Cross-Industry

Various departments in any organization often receive large number of queries through emails. The resolution to these queries often requires input from various sources which in turn leads to delay in response and affects the resolution time.​

​The solution uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand, interpret and auto-classify the users’ emails into categories and auto-revert on these queries after compiling required information from different SAP systems. It also has the capability to route them to the relevant department for resolution or request missing information from the user for specific use cases. Straight through processing of emails and automation can reduce the manual effort as well as query processing time leading to an enhanced user experience.
