SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) announced at the SAP TechEd conference the launch of a powerful new offering to drive the next wave of business transformation by unleashing the expertise of those who know best – business users. Drawing on the unique depth and breadth of the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), SAP Build is a low-code solution that puts SAP’s world-class enterprise technology in the hands of business users, giving them direct, secure access to the end-to-end processes, data and context they need to make smarter decisions and drive innovation quickly. The offering empowers business users with minimal technical expertise to create and augment enterprise applications, automate processes, and design business sites with drag-and-drop simplicity.

“SAP Build brings together the world’s most powerful business applications with a platform that’s been designed to rapidly unleash business users’ expertise,” said Juergen Mueller, member of the Executive Board and Chief Technology Officer of SAP. “In a volatile business landscape, SAP Build and the full suite of innovations we’re launching today – from our new partnership with Coursera to enhancements across our enterprise portfolio – help customers future-proof their business and extract maximum value from their technology investments.”

With SAP Build, business users have the full power of SAP BTP and business application data from SAP at their fingertips. Users can easily integrate systems; intelligently monitor, analyze, and automate processes; and build applications for the last mile of innovation – all without moving their data into an external system. With SAP Signavio solutions natively integrated, SAP Build users also get in-depth visibility into all their processes, so they know where to focus to achieve the greatest impact as they innovate and automate. More than 275,000 process reference points from 4,000 customers, as well as 1,300 use-case specific workflows and automations, let users instantly tap into the full spectrum of business expertise built into SAP’s technology. SAP Build also works with non-SAP systems. And the new SAP Builders program helps users ramp up quickly and connect with their peers via hands-on sessions and forums for sharing best practices.

“Given that the demand for contemporary digital solutions is greater than the ability of professional developers to supply them, IDC envisions that business professionals will become increasingly involved in initiatives to create digital solutions to solve pressing business problems,” said Arnal Dayaratna, Research Vice President, Software Development, IDC. “Worldwide, IDC expects more than 100 million business professionals will become involved in the production of digital solutions over the next ten years. SAP Build’s low-code development solutions empower business users to harness their domain expertise to rapidly build and iterate on digital solutions at scale.”

SAP Build is already demonstrating impact. “Thanks to SAP Build we easily built a better experience for our customers while dramatically reducing our development costs by 90%,” said Spencer Cook, XM Advocates Lead at Qualtrics, a leading experience-management company. “I was able to quickly build the application to enhance our customer reference program which is going to catapult customer satisfaction.”

As every company becomes a technology company, SAP also recognizes the increasing premium put on the skills and insights only professional developers can deliver. SAP is committed to upskilling two million developers worldwide by 2025 by tripling free learning offerings on the SAP Learning site, partnering with world-class learning platform provider Coursera Inc. to help people launch careers within the SAP ecosystem, and empowering underserved audiences in technology.

“I’m happy to announce that today SAP is launching an entry-level professional certificate on Coursera. This certificate is designed for learners of all backgrounds, with no college degree or industry experience required,” said Jeff Maggioncalda, CEO of Coursera Inc. “It will prepare learners for entry-level job roles and in some of the most in-demand fields. We’re honored to partner with SAP to increase access to job-related skills and to expand economic opportunity for everyone.”

These announcements come amid a host of innovations announced at SAP TechEd to help SAP customers and partners continue driving the transformations they need to stay successful. From an all-new native Web entry point for business apps, which increases productivity in the cloud and out of the box, to innovations across intelligent SAP applications, SAP Digital Supply Chain solutions and SAP solutions for sustainability– at SAP TechEd 2022 we’re unleashing the power of business.

“Our mission in SEA is to uplift the lives of our region’s 700 million people.

#SAP #DelMontePH Enabling Sustainable Supply Chains Key to Reduce Carbon Emissions

Published

on

Iggy Sison, chief sustainability officer of Del Monte Philippines, Gunasekar Gurusamy, sustainability solution advisor for SAP Asia Pacific and Japan, and Simone Pigason, head of digital supply chain of SAP Southeast Asia.

Sustainability has become a necessity for organizations in today’s world as more consumers seek sustainable brands, investors consider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives for investment decisions, and governments increase their regulations. 

recent report by Kyndryl revealed that 77 percent of Southeast Asian businesses are concentrating on ESG initiatives. One of the growing efforts made by organizations involves mostly the decarbonization of their supply chains. According to the UNGC-Accenture CEO study, 60 percent of carbon emissions worldwide come from organizations’ supply chains. 

In a virtual event conducted by the Supply Chain Management Association of the Philippines (SCMAP) in partnership with SAP SE (NYSE: SAP), titled “Enabling Sustainable Supply Chains”, SAP leaders, joined by Del Monte Philippines, shared how to reduce emissions in the supply chain and leverage data and technology to achieve sustainability goals.  

#SAP #DelMontePH Enabling Sustainable Supply Chains Key to Reduce Carbon Emissions

Decreasing Emissions on the Three Scopes

Companies’ carbon emissions are divided into three scopes. This includes Scope 1, which is emissions from businesses’ own operations; Scope 2, which involves emissions from purchased utilities from third parties like electricity; and Scope 3, which covers all the other emissions in the entire value chain. This ranges from employee commute to consumer behavior when using the company’s products, among others.

During the event, Iggy Sison, Chief Sustainability Officer of Del Monte Philippines, imparted the brand’s initiatives to realize a net zero carbon emissions goal in the three scopes. “The company is now shifting third-party delivery transport to double-decker trucks to reduce emissions. Aside from that, our goal is to decrease emissions at our production facility by 3 percent per year, install solar power in our plant and plantation, expand measurement to include Scope 3 emissions, and more.”

 

Leveraging Data and Technology for a Clear Path Forward 

However, for businesses to have a clear sustainability journey, Simone Pigason, Head of the Digital, Resilient, and Sustainable Supply Chain of SAP Southeast Asia, remarked that organizations need to address three key challenges. “Organizations must first have the ability to record their ESG data across the entire value chain to measure and ensure progress. Then, they need a robust platform that can cater to reporting needs across diverse regulatory bodies and frameworks. And finally, they must use different solutions to embed the insights gathered from the datasets into the business processes.”

Pigason then added, “Data enables businesses to forecast demand accurately to avoid unnecessary waste, especially with supply chain disruptions. Aside from increasing carbon emissions, overproduction can cause additional warehouse inventory, spoilage, and more.”

Developing Sustainable Supply Chains Now and In the Future

To help businesses kickstart their sustainability journey, Sison shared that organizations must first define their stakeholders, such as consumers, employees, and investors, among others. “After identifying these elements, companies need to determine what is a key concern for these stakeholders and prioritize the things to address. That is an important process to ensure that the sustainability initiatives are relevant, responsive, and proactive,” he added.

Meanwhile, Pigason encouraged companies to continue the conversation about sustainability in supply chains. “Talking more about sustainability can expand discussions from Scope 1 and 2 to 3. Businesses will also know where their baseline and where to start in the three scopes,” she added.

#SAP #DelMontePH Enabling Sustainable Supply Chains Key to Reduce Carbon Emissions

Rudy Abrahams, Managing Director of SAP Philippines, agreed on how organizations can begin developing sustainable supply chains. He emphasized the significance of sustainability now and in the future to businesses. “Sustainability can improve organizations’ profitability because businesses are reducing emissions, energy costs, and more to help the planet. Aside from that, it also helps in increasing brand value for shareholders, customers, and even employees while adhering to regulatory compliance and improving ancillary revenue streams.”

To assist businesses in strengthening their sustainability initiatives, SAP has been offering solutions like the Sustainability Navigator Tool. This solution helps businesses identify their sustainability challenges in three dimensions. This includes climate action, circular economy, and even social responsibility. It also provides solutions that can help organizations address the challenges using specific toolsets.
