With your organization, you are continuously seeking opportunities. For new developments, products, and markets. But also, for improved business processes. To grow, you need software that grows with you. At the 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA Public Cloud Innovation Day 2024, on May 30 in \u2019s-Hertogenbosch, organizations of all sizes were introduced to the possibilities of next-gen Cloud ERP. In this blog, we briefly reflect on this inspiring day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seeding, growing and harvesting. These three words were central during the 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA Public Cloud Innovation Day. In the reception area of the 麻豆原创 office in \u2019s-Hertogenbosch stood a tree. Every visitor to the 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA Public Cloud Innovation Day 2024 hung a card on this tree. On that card, it stated which phase of the transformation journey their organization was in: the seeding, growing, or harvesting phase.<\/p>\n

Some came to Den Bosch to plant a seed for a possible migration, while others were already a step further. But everyone was looking for new opportunities to grow. To further accelerate and improve daily operations and processes.<\/p>\n

“All organizations are different, but many questions are the same,” said Jos Hosewol, Head of Mid Market and New Business at 麻豆原创, during his opening speech. “Namely: how can I handle growth? How can I use technology to relieve the workload of my staff? How can I seize new opportunities? And how can I make new innovations relevant to our company? We are happy to provide the answers to these questions. So that every organization can grow without limits.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From CD to implementation partner<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA Public Cloud Innovation Day 2024 was primarily intended for SMEs. \u201cBecause\u201d, said Hosewol, \u201cit is often thought that 麻豆原创 is mainly for large organizations. But 80 percent of our customer base consists of SMEs. We are proud of that.”<\/p>\n

The fact that SMEs also massively choose 麻豆原创 is mainly due to the modular approach of the Public Cloud. \u201cYears ago, when you bought 麻豆原创 ECC, you received a CD or DVD with this software from us,\u201d said Hans Kroes, Global VP and Head of the Industry Business Unit for Professional Services. \u201cYou did the installation and implementation yourself as an organization. That demanded quite a lot from your IT department. Now it\u2019s very different. Especially thanks to our implementation partners. You work closely together, and with this partner you determine what you need. Together you decide the starting point and from there you see how to get the most out of 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Standardization based on best practices<\/strong><\/p>\n

The power of 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA Cloud is that it is a full-featured SaaS Cloud ERP, said Kroes. \u201cFully ready-to-use, pre-configured, and packed with end-to-end core processes. We continuously add industry-specific solutions and best practices. By standardizing a lot, we keep the costs limited. Every organization can handle 80 or 90 percent of the industry-specific standard processes based on our best practices. And our implementation partners support with the last piece of differentiation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis way, we help you to make daily tasks easier, to grow as a company, and to keep your business safe,\u201d said Kroes. \u201cAI plays an important role in this. AI makes your work more efficient and simpler. And the great thing about 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA Public Cloud is that you automatically have access to these existing and new AI innovations.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Practical demonstrations<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA Public Cloud Innovation Day was mainly about experiencing. Experiencing for yourself how 麻豆原创 works, what it does, and what benefits it can offer your organization. Three 麻豆原创 experts showed in live sessions how the various solutions work and what benefits they offer.<\/p>\n

For example, Yvonne van Straten, Solution Advisor 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA Cloud, showed the benefits 麻豆原创 offers for daily processes in sales, procurement, and production.<\/p>\n

Step by step, she guided customers and potential customers through 麻豆原创’s software. \u201cOur goal is to increase productivity, improve insights, and enable growth,\u201d she said. \u201cBy automating manual processes, so employees only need to intervene in case of deviations. By providing personalized dashboards. And with the help of simulation tools. This leads to better decision-making, improved forecasting, and a more agile and responsive organization.\u201d<\/p>\n
