At its global SAPPHIRE NOW conference, SAP SE recently announced a bold vision to create new business communities able to improve business outcomes, better navigate changing economic and geopolitical conditions and enhance sustainability contributions.
SAP unveiled the first step toward creating the world’s largest business network with SAP Business Network, which will bring together Ariba Network, SAP Logistics Business Network and SAP Asset Intelligence Network. Over 5.5 million organisations will benefit from being members of this connected community.
To support the announcement, SAP also announced new innovations designed to help companies modernise and digitalise their business processes to become intelligent enterprises.
“During this unprecedented year, the importance of the communities we’re part of has never been clearer,” said Christian Klein, CEO and Member of the Executive Board of SAP SE. “Our new vision will build the world’s largest business community, enabling customers to easily connect with companies across supply chains and creating networked economies across industries.”
Klein added: “While we have all seen the power of networks in our personal lives, this networked ecosystem for businesses doing business together is unique. Members of the new SAP Business Network will be able to access a single, unified portal to gain a holistic view into their supply chain ecosystem, logistics and traceability, and equipment management and maintenance.”
