Those who saw their vulnerabilities and were able to transform from them not only had a positive impact on their customers, but for their staff as well. From this experience, the demand for staff who are both literate in IT and business languages are greater than ever before.

On the , we welcomed Senior Lecturer of Information Systems and Director of the 麻豆原创 ACC, Scott Bingley, and Lis Miller, Training and Adoption Lead at 麻豆原创 ANZ, to discuss the digital skills of the future and how you can pivot your digital transformation with 麻豆原创.

Over the last few years, numerous trends in the digital environment have emerged within businesses including automation, cyber security and project management which has confirmed the prediction that digital skills are an integral employee skillset within any company. Lis Miller expands on this thinking by reconstructing what it means to be digitally literate.

鈥淚t’s the digital skills around understanding how your business works, digitising that information and then getting the visibility of what’s going on in the business that wasn鈥檛 available before because of the enormous amount of information that needs to be collected. [Digital skills are about] combining the knowledge of the business and feeding back information that you can then use to make better decisions and innovate further.鈥�

At the current pace that technology and software is evolving, Scott Bingley can summarise the top level skills employers need to succeed as being data literacy, instilling a culture of learning and by doing so, empowering employees to adapt these new systems into their daily operations. A company who can pave the way for employee digital upskilling can remove the reliance on outsourced consultants and overseas systems that the pandemic has exposed and increase the retention of knowledge within an organisation.

As the Director of Victoria University’s 麻豆原创 Next-Gen Lab and Academic Competence Centre (ACC), Bingley understands that these programs fulfil that core objective to up-skill the next generation. The introduction of numerous 12-Week Courses as part of the $63 Million Digital Job Programme for the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions is working as a pathway into further certification for potential employees.

鈥淚n 1997, [Victoria University] chose to partner with 麻豆原创 and has since extended this partnership to have the ACC, plus Australia’s only 麻豆原创 Next Gen Innovation Lab, where we run industry projects for 麻豆原创 customers and capstone subjects. This semester, we’re working with 麻豆原创 on a fire disaster recovery project. So we’re looking at bushfires in Australia, how to prevent the previous fallouts and we’re using the to analyse all of this data and inform those decisions.鈥�

Through this partnership, 麻豆原创 has been able to broaden their reach, increase the diversity of students and mid-career changers within the digital ecosystem and promote 麻豆原创 as a valid career path. Organisations and businesses alike are also reaping the benefits of the program with the option to embark on a custom training journey that priorities flexibility for both employees and businesses and removes the disruptions that previous upskilling programs cause to workflows.

Lis Miller leaves us with, what it, the definition of 鈥渄igital skill鈥� that businesses are looking for, 鈥渋t鈥檚 not all technical and computer science, it’s making sure businesses can run digitally, particularly in this post pandemic world.鈥�

The implementation gives Taronga鈥檚 executive team instant access to critical data-driven insight from across the organisation, providing greater insights into important commercial aspects such as guest feedback, admission trends, ticket sales and marketing effectiveness. The suite of reporting dashboards present key financial and operational performance metrics in an intuitive, easy-to-consume format, providing Taronga executives with the information they need for pivotal, real-time decision-making.听听

Taronga鈥檚 goal was to drive further efficiencies in support of its critical conservation work, following the successful migration of the organisation鈥檚 system to 麻豆原创 S4/HANA Cloud. With SAC, Taronga has simplified and modernised its manual and time intensive data consolidation and reporting processes through automation, reducing by 50 per cent the time required to prepare Taronga鈥檚 monthly management reporting packs. More importantly, the automation and improved insights enable Taronga staff to devote more time to higher value, strategic work, including allowing them to develop new ways to attract visitors and boost membership numbers.听听听听

鈥淚t鈥檚 not often that you associate back-office technology solutions with wildlife conservation, but 麻豆原创 has helped us to not only find operational efficiencies and cost savings, but to view the data that we gather in a way that ultimately helps us better deliver on our commitment to the conservation of wildlife in Australia and around the world. We have moved from having a limited, but not fully integrated business intelligence experience, to a state-of-the-art analytics and planning platform. Our long term partnership with 麻豆原创 has been instrumental in ensuring success of this 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud integration,鈥� said Mark Kemp, Project Manager, Information & Digital Technology, Taronga Conservation Society Australia.听听听

The implementation of SAC was driven jointly by 麻豆原创鈥檚 Cloud Success Services and Industries & Customer Advisory Innovation Experience, with the integration requiring the consolidation of data from disparate 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 source systems into a single, unified analytics platform with consistent data structures. 听

鈥淭he implementation of 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud provides Taronga with instant access to data from across its organisation, from ticket sales, to admissions trends and guest feedback. This greater level of insight enables Taronga鈥檚 executive team to make more informed decisions and develop new strategies to attract visitors, boost memberships and, ultimately, support its conservation work,鈥� said Damien Bueno, President and Managing Director, 麻豆原创 Australia and New Zealand.听听听

鈥淲e are committed to acting long-term and with responsibility in mind. Our focus and our actions respect the principles of sustainability鈥�听says Pierre Wiese, Head of Business Solutions Commercial at D枚hler.

• Improving eco-efficiency along the value chain,
• consuming less energy and water,
• producing less CO2

are just a few of the points to which D枚hler has committed itself. Nevertheless, companies are facing complex operating and supply chain structures which means information on the CO2 footprint is often barely available and hardly traceable to the end-to-end business process.

鈥淎n innovative solution to trace back carbon emissions to its roots is necessary and one reason why we collaborated with 麻豆原创鈥�,听Pierre continues.听As a long-standing 麻豆原创 customer and valued partner, D枚hler and 麻豆原创 decided to run a听co-innovation engagement听to carry out a听Climate 21 pilot.

In May 2020, D枚hler became the first customer to go live with a pilot installation of 麻豆原创 Product Carbon Footprint Analytics for one of their products. They are now able to trace carbon emissions with听麻豆原创 S/4HANA听and听麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud.

麻豆原创 Product Carbon Footprint Analytics

麻豆原创 Product Carbon Footprint Analytics could be explained in the following way:
The four contributors for the product carbon footprint are:

1. 1. Purchased goods
2. 2. Energy (consumed for production processes)
3. 3. Direct emissions
4. 4. Outbound transport

The user maintains emission factors for these and together with quantity data, bill of material and routing data from the 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud or on premise system, the calculation of the product carbon footprint is done within 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud. This allows insights by product, plant or cost centre (e.g. to compare or analyze within a certain business unit or division), which are the basis for further actions. For example, it might become visible that a certain production step (activity type) or purchased raw material causes a lot of carbon emissions. One possible measure could be to buy raw materials with a lower carbon footprint, replace energy-inefficient machines with more modern ones, or purchase green energy instead of the conventional electricity mix.

The 麻豆原创 Product Carbon Footprint Analytics must be seen in the bigger context of the Climate 21 initiative to cover the full value chain of customers. 麻豆原创 Product Carbon Footprint Analytics focuses on analytics and insights in the first step. These capabilities are ideal to get familiar with, gain first eye-opening insights and take first meaningful actions.

鈥淲ith such a significant innovation, we rely on the expertise and close cooperation with our customers. Together with them and our product management we define business capabilities and integrate them into the product roadmap for our analytical and transactional applications. To run this pilot D枚hler was a great experience for us. Their feedback will directly influence the development of further products in the Climate 21 context鈥�,听describes Sabine Otholt, Head of Strategic Customer Engagements & Co-Innovation at 麻豆原创.

What听should customers take into consideration:

Starting a carbon impact analysis of production processes is new for many customers and听requires intensive collaboration between departments which normally act independently from each听other 鈥� for example production data specialists on shop floor level will collaborate with process experts from business side. This will be necessary to maintain the right emission factors for different production steps. The same applies in a similar way for purchased goods or raw materials, direct emissions and outbound transport.

Such changes require听rethinking and new ways of cross team and organisational听collaboration. In return customers are rewarded with the ability to:

• get an overview on overall emissions and insights that contribute most and check where it makes sense to start reducing
• start to act reducing the carbon emissions your company is responsible for
• build the basis for further (sustainable) reporting
• give information to your customers on the carbon footprint on those products that they buy from you

To minimise听our carbon footprint, we need to understand the impact of our production and logistics along our entire value chain. 麻豆原创 will help us to improve our operations and transform our product portfolio听describes Peter Spaargaren, Head of Group Sustainability at D枚hler the benefit of the collaboration.

This co-innovation paves the way for a future in which products are equipped with a CO₂听label and can therefore influence the purchase decision in the B2B and B2C business.
