Transparency for worldwide Instances

1. Fact-based decisions define strategy

• Template Approach: Should client define a worldwide template for the future requirements?

• Greenfield/Brownfield: Is one of the systems ideal for building the future master system or should a new SAP S/4HANA system be set up

• Consolidations: Are systems similar enough in terms of business processes to consolidate them and reduce number of systems?

2. Fact-based housekeeping reduces costs/efforts

a. Master/Target System• Custom Code: Filter and archive code that does not deliver

value in the future scenario• Background Jobs: Identify jobs that do not deliver value in

the future scenario• Document Types: Identify document types that are required

for the future scenario• Old Transactions: Identify old transaction usage and update• Data: Cleansing and Archiving• Fit/Gap Analysis SAP S/4HANA: Identify and define tasks

and efforts

b. Other Systems: Fit/Gap Analysis with Target System• Custom Code to be migrated• Background Jobs to be migrated• Document Types to be migrated• Data to be migrated

3. Fact-based definition of Fit-to-Strategytechnology components guarantee innovations

• Cloud/On-Premise/Hybrid• Future Infrastructure• DevOps etc.

4. Fact-based migrationmitigates risk / reducescosts / accelerates project

• Build resilient Project Plan incl. Business Case based on facts and transparencyon current mode of global operations

The IoT is becoming a competitive marketplace weapon. Its focus is shifting to external improvements (customer experience, revenue generation).

Capturing (ROI) from the IoT is challenging due to complexities in designing and deploying solutions, and difficulties in establishing direct cause-and-effect relationships for business results.

Let’s take two examples of solutions, to see how you could obtain advantage…

Business leaders and analysis see the IoT delivering competitive advantage


https://www.gartner.com/doc/3299317?srcId=1-7389946276&stl=1

▪ Apply machine learning using large datasets from professional sports players to help individual players improve their game.

▪ Golf use case: leveraging an IoT gateway along with technology from TrackMan.

▪ TrackMan uses specialized radar to capture more than 25 data points about the golf club and the ball.

▪ Metrics include the club angle of a swing, speed of the swing, the angle of the club head.

A sports company wants to:

Improve an individual’s golf performance with Machine Learning on IoT Data


▪ Identify high-value customers in the store

▪ Influence customer response in real time

▪ Use real-time data combined with historical customer data to increase revenue/margin from customers

▪ Get valuable insight in real time and make decisions even when running in disconnected mode from the center

▪ Maintain low-cost software-defined video storage at the store

Value proposition

▪ Bridge the gap between IT and OT by driving intelligence outside of the data center

▪ Enabling secure collection, transformation and processing of data generated from any connected IoT device

▪ Transforming device data into actionable information


Enable New Business Insights


● 74% of IT leaders said their data landscape is so complex that it limits agility

● 86% said they were not getting the most out of their data.

● 50% believe that data is inaccessible to a wide variety of business stakeholders
