We’ve all heard SAP talk about the intel­li­gent enter­prise. We know for the most part that it requires dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion and an invest­ment in new, intel­li­gent tech­nolo­gies. But what most com­pa­nies still ques­tion is what vision makes most sense for them, how do they get there, and why it’s impor­tant to do now. 

ASUG News sat down with Mala Anand, pres­i­dent of SAP Intel­li­gent Enter­prise Solu­tions and Indus­tries, to dis­cuss those ques­tions and more. 

Mala is charged with run­ning 25 dif­fer­ent indus­tries across SAP as well as the intel­li­gent enter­prise solu­tions. Her team looks at how they can take the entire­ty of the SAP port­fo­lio and adapt it for spe­cif­ic indus­tries. She talked to us about emerg­ing tech­nolo­gies, guid­ed out­comes, and how an orga­ni­za­tion can get start­ed on its way to becom­ing a more intel­li­gent enterprise.
