from single products to
whole factories and entire
supply chains.
Bypass skills gaps and
engage your people

to capitalize on the trust
enabled by distributed
multiparty systems.
Five key technology trends will change the way business is done in the post-pandemic world. SAP solutions

Stack Strategically
What’s happening?
The technology stack is now a key opportunity
for competitive advantage.
The days of tying the business to a single monolithic
platform are over. Aim for platform independence
to increase business flexibility and future-proof
the organization.
How can SAP solutions help
you stack strategically?
For example:
 SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) brings
interoperable, platform-independent containers,
microservices, and APIs to enable a flexible “plug
and play” multi-cloud architecture.
 Pivot to DevOps approach to integrate
development and operations more closely. Use
APIs, microservices, automated testing and
automated stub testing for ecosystem connection,
enabled by SAP BTP and hyperscaler services.
 Get real-time insights from SAP S/4HANA®
embedded analytics, SAP BW/4HANA® data
warehousing, and SAP Analytics Cloud.

Mirrored World
What’s happening?
As businesses thread digital technology throughout
their operations, huge new sources of data are being
unlocked. These are fueling massive networks of
intelligent digital twins.
This mirrored world enables businesses to simulate,
predict, automate and dynamically respond to data
across the lifecycle of physical assets. It lets them ask
“what-if” questions about future scenarios, and design
and test products before building them.
How can SAP solutions help you
unlock the power of digital twins?
For example:
 Gain supply chain visibility with the SAP Logistics
Business Network, and by integrating processes
with SAP Manufacturing Integration and
Intelligence and SAP BTP.
 Achieve digital continuity by connecting
engineering, manufacturing, operations, and
partner organizations via the integrated SAP
Product Lifecycle Management and/or SAP
Production Engineering and Operations
embedded solutions.
 Enhance forecasting and predictive capabilities
with SAP Integrated Business Planning and
demand-driven MRP capabilities in SAP solutions.

I, Technologist
What’s happening?
Today’s digital solutions are becoming so
accessible, so user-friendly, they’re empowering a
radical democratization of enterprise technology.
Thanks to advances in natural language processing,
no-code or low-code programming, and intelligent
automation, people now have the tools to develop
their own digital solutions—right at the point of need.
How can SAP solutions help you benefit
from the democratization of technology?
For example:
 Low-code and no-code solutions, such as
SAP Ruum and SAP AppGyver let grassroots
“citizen developers” solve their own technology-
related problems.
 SAP Fiori® enables modern and highly
customizable consumer-style user interfaces for
both B2B and B2C contexts.
 SAP Intelligent RPA, bolstered by AI solutions can
enhance business processes and free employees
from the burden of repetitive work.

Anywhere, Everywhere
What’s happening?
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the world into
perhaps the biggest shift in ways of working in
living memory.
Companies can now choose how best to capitalize
on the newly equipped virtualized workforce,
enabling their people to drive change from
anywhere and everywhere.
How can SAP solutions help you adapt to
the new world of virtualized work?
For example:
 SAP solutions’ integration with Microsoft Teams
enables not only virtual meetings and document editing,
but also frictionless interaction with customer and
operational data across systems.
 Consistent user experience (UX) can be achieved via
SAP’s Central Launchpad Service, as well as SAP BTP
features like One Workflow Inbox, and a seamless user
experience with SAP Fiori.
 Qualtrics solutions help you understand and act on
employee sentiment about enterprise user experiences.
 Human-machine collaboration can be enhanced
by integrating SAP solutions with next-generation
interfaces such as extended reality and enhancing
workforce collaboration with SAP BTP.

From Me to We
What’s happening?
The pace of change and complexity of today’s
business landscape means companies need to look
beyond their four walls and coordinate with other
parties along the value chain.
From supply chains to digital ecosystems, connecting
via multiparty systems will be essential in rebuilding
and renewing for the future.
How can SAP solutions and multiparty
systems help you coordinate through chaos?
For example:
 GreenToken by SAP provides multiparty-enabled
trust and transparency in complex raw materials
supply chains.
 Distributed ledger technologies can be combined
with APIs on SAP Business Technology Platform
to design and shape an industry-specific
multiparty solution.
 SAP Responsible Design and Production can help
companies consume fewer resources and build
sustainability into the design process.
 SAP Business Network will provide a unified, holistic
overview of supply chain ecosystems across trading
partner networks—including logistics, traceability, and
equipment management and maintenance.
