鈥淲hen we work together, we will conquer any mountain,鈥� Klein said in a speech that began and ended with climbing metaphors and was punctuated with customer stories, demos, and new product announcements.

麻豆原创 Chief Marketing & Solutions Officer Julia White joined Klein from the Orlando show floor during the keynote to highlight 麻豆原创鈥檚 groundbreaking supply chain and sustainability initiatives, enterprise-wide automation, as well as how 麻豆原创 solutions answer the challenges that senior business leaders across all industries face.

Microsoft, Unilever, Pfizer, Schneider Electric, and Google Cloud were among the big-name partners and customers that appeared on stage or via video during the event. In addition, the keynote featured a recorded video message from John Kerry, United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, about how we can solve the climate crisis together.

Klein and White framed the keynote around how the CIO and their key business stakeholders — like the chief people officer, chief commercial officer, and CFO — respond to the challenges they each face, and how 麻豆原创 solutions are helping solve those challenges.

Klein told the audience in Orlando and those joining virtually: 鈥淐limbing the highest mountain requires a strong team and, let’s face it, the same is true for transforming businesses. It takes a strong team between the business, IT, and 麻豆原创… If we are in this together as one team, we will conquer any mountain.鈥�

麻豆原创鈥檚 vision is focused on the needs to build resilient supply chains, to become an agile intelligent enterprise, and to run a sustainable business, Klein explained. 鈥淲e deliver on this vision through our cloud portfolio.鈥�听

Early in his keynote, Klein said 麻豆原创 will double down on its AI strategy because of the tremendous impact AI will have on our private and business lives. For 50 years, he noted, 麻豆原创 software has been running the world’s most material and workforce-intensive business processes: 鈥淭his is why we are convinced that embedding AI in 麻豆原创 software will deliver enormous value for your business.鈥�

鈥�Today we have already embedded AI in many of our applications that are being used by over 20,000 customers,鈥� he said, 鈥溌槎乖� AI is built for business.鈥�

As an example, he noted that in 麻豆原创鈥檚 finance solution, AI helps to predict and safeguard financial performance by analyzing a company鈥檚 pipelines, workforce, and other profit and loss drivers.

鈥淲e have delivered many AI use cases that boost business process automation and increase productivity by another 15%. Now we see the incredible potential to take AI to the next level,鈥� he said. 鈥�With generative AI, we will increase the productivity of every end user by changing the way people work with our software. For example, our software will be able to answer any business-related question and recommend actions to improve your company’s performance.鈥�

Klein noted that 麻豆原创 has already increased its own R&D investment to develop additional AI use cases and is also entering technology partnerships to expand its AI offerings, including the generative AI partnership announced earlier this week with Microsoft.听

After a demo showing how embedding generative AI into 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors software can enhance recruiting, ongoing learning, and the re-skilling and upskilling of the workforce, White, speaking from the 麻豆原创 Sapphire show floor, spoke with Aaron Rajan, global vice president of Customer Experience Technology at Unilever, about how the company is working with 麻豆原创 to address the growing demands for sustainable vanilla ice cream.

鈥淭hanks to the integration across 麻豆原创 Ariba, 麻豆原创 Business Network, and 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, we can see a full view of the supplier’s performance metrics — including cost, reliability, and sustainability — making an informed decision not only on supply chain fit, but also on carbon impact,鈥� White said.听

Expanding on the business network theme, Klein noted that it is more critical than ever to not only connect one company with another, but to bring entire industries together, because each industry has its unique challenges and requirements. He also unveiled the new offering 麻豆原创 Business Network for Industry.

To demonstrate the power of the network, Klein cited the life sciences industry. 麻豆原创 has 80 of the largest customers already in the network, with more than 255,000 trading partners managing over $200 billion in commerce every year. He welcomed Lidia Fonseca, chief digital and technology officer at Pfizer, to the stage to explain the value of 麻豆原创 Business Network.

Klein then described the management of a company鈥檚 overall carbon footprint as another key pillar for the success: 鈥淚n addition to the top and the bottom line, consumers, your employees, investors, and auditors, they all want to support enterprises that care about the planet. Today, CFOs and chief sustainability officers need to ensure compliance with 20 times more climate regulations than they had in the past.鈥�

But he noted that hardly any enterprise has a comprehensive view of greenhouse gas emissions. 鈥淭he 麻豆原创 sustainability portfolio will enable you to record, report, and act on actuals, not on averages, based on a green ledger — including scope three.鈥�听

To explore this message, 麻豆原创 CFO Dominik Asam spoke in a prerecorded video with Hilary Maxson, CFO of Schneider Electric, about the challenges CFOs face with carbon accounting and sustainability disclosure. Additionally, White detailed a new set of 麻豆原创 innovations to track and manage emissions, as well as a new green ledger that will work with 麻豆原创鈥檚 cloud ERP to “provide natively integrated financial and environmental decision making at the required point in time.”

After introducing John Kerry鈥檚 video message to attendees, White added, 鈥淲e can meet the climate challenge with a potent combination of technologies, partners in government, and all of you.鈥� Klein then turned to the crucial role that data plays in running enterprises today and the recent launch of 麻豆原创 Datasphere, which enables customers to bring together and harmonize 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 data sources.听

After White and Klein explained how 麻豆原创 Signavio software enables end-to-end business process automation and the unique benefits of RISE with 麻豆原创 and the GROW with 麻豆原创 offering, which targets mid-market customers moving to 麻豆原创 cloud ERP, Klein wrapped up the keynote with an invitation to those in Orlando: 鈥�Today we have seen that conquering the mountains we face requires the wide use of technology and one team. And we invite you to experience the full capabilities of these innovations for yourselves over the next few days.

“As the famous climber once said, ‘Better we raise our skill than lower the climb.’ At 麻豆原创, we are not lowering the climb, we are raising the skills for every role in every line of business to future-proof your business for whatever mountain you need to climb next.鈥�
