| SAP Business Network Material Traceability | SAP Business Network Material traceability is the process of ensuring that the raw materials or components of a product have a record of origin, production, and destination or consumption to support traceback or recall analysis after receipt, production, or distribution. Material traceability is part of supply chain analytics and plays a critical role in quality, manufacturing, and planning, legal and compliance, brand management, and sustainability functions, among others. Material traceability enables the transparency needed for supply chain accountability to support safety, quality, compliance, and brand integrity. Accurate and efficient material or product traceability is essential in food and beverage, agriculture, consumer packaged goods, life sciences, and regulated industries, among others.

 | SAP announces innovations in SAP Analytics Cloud, an integrated solution that offers analytics and planning capabilities, that simplify analytics for customers and enable more data-driven decision-making throughout the entire organization. These innovations are available today. AI-driven analytics now use natural language processing technology from Askdata, which SAP acquired in 2022 and has now integrated into SAP Analytics Cloud. The AI technology behind the search experience provides better natural multi-lingual processing than previous technology based only on English-language keywords. Users can access the new feature enabling natural-language queries from their home page and will be able to visualize their query results in tables. The use of large language models (LLM) improves the accuracy and consistency of answers compared to existing search-driven offerings. SAP plans to unveil more conversational, chatbot-like interaction capabilities in the third quarter of 2023, allowing users to receive query results from traditional databases augmented by certified knowledge material.

| Continuous Intelligence | Traditionally, dashboards are checked periodically to monitor the most relevant KPIs and manually explore data along pre-defined paths. However, considering only pre-defined indicators and performance metrics leads to a limited perspective and misses information about unknown signals and trends in other parts of the data or at lower granularity. Keeping track of what is relevant in this very moment is therefore a challenge for businesses across industries. Enter continuous intelligence. With continuous intelligence, we aim to take a step towards a new generation of always-on analytical services that learn and pro-actively inform you about what matters right now.
