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.
