[STALANKI]

Background

This article is just my personal views on what changes we have seen in the last decade and what we are expecting to see from SAP in the next century.

BIMODAL IT and Digital Twins had taken internet by storm in the last decade as many organizations had built their digital innovation centers to digitize their back end and fronted business processes across multichannel platforms and enable data driven decision making.

SAP had responded to it by scaling all their products and doing cloud acquisitions where required to enable organizations to transact digitally across all channels and  business service lines and industries.

 

Key changes in the Last Century - Moving ERP to Cloud

1. Process modelling, mining insights, automation, collaboration, and governance became standard for designing future business processes


2. Zero Trust Security and Identity Authentications to integrate applications


3. Fiori, Node JS, Cloud Foundry Apps became gold standard for building User Interfaces
