Armed with real-world expertise and extensive know-how, 麻豆原创 consultants act as a bridge between the business and technology domains 鈥� bringing hundreds to thousands of hours of hands-on experience and best practices in implementing, customising, and managing 麻豆原创 roll-outs.

In fact, 麻豆原创 consultants are such crucial pieces of the digital transformation puzzle that the global market for 麻豆原创 consulting is estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8% between 2025 and 2035 to USD 38.98 billion[1].

Earlier this year, we launched to further supercharge the way millions of 麻豆原创 consultants work, helping them augment their productivity, cut down time-consuming searches, and make better-informed decisions.

Joule for Consultants draws from 麻豆原创鈥檚 vast knowledge base 鈥� including over 9TB of expert-curated 麻豆原创 knowledge, 3 million non-public documents, 250 million lines of (advanced business application programming) and 30 million lines of (ABAP core data services) code 鈥� and turns that institutional expertise into a real-time, context-aware assistant. It understands the solution landscape a consultant is working in, interprets code on the fly, and surfaces relevant guidance in seconds.

Across APAC, a significant number of 麻豆原创 partners and consultants have already adopted 麻豆原创 Joule for Consultants and are using the tool across various phases of 麻豆原创 implementation projects.

Early pilots show clear value: faster delivery cycles of up to 14%, smoother onboarding, and as much as 1.5 hours saved per consultant per day. The payoff is not simply efficiency but the ability for teams to spend more time on strategic design, stakeholder engagement, and delivering tangible outcomes for customers.

AI-Powered Consulting: the Next Frontier for 麻豆原创 Partners

According to the recent conducted by Oxford Economics, AI is expected to drive an average ROI of 16% (US$4.7M) per organisation this year, a figure which will nearly double in two years鈥� time to 31% (US$12.3M). Businesses also ranked 鈥渁lignment with business strategy鈥� and 鈥渁vailability and quality of data鈥� as the top two strategies for maximising ROI from AI.

麻豆原创 Joule for Consultants has the potential to help 麻豆原创 partners drive this ROI, and is designed with quality data and expert-aligned advice based on 麻豆原创 best practices for businesses across industries. With AI itself acting as a productivity enabler, consultants are able to accelerate delivery and increase consistency across projects 鈥� ultimately driving greater customer impact.

Importantly, 麻豆原创 Joule for Consultants is not replacing consultants; it is enhancing their expertise. Instead of spending hours searching documentation or manually comparing configurations, consultants can ask targeted questions and receive contextual, 麻豆原创-specific answers in natural language.

Routine tasks 鈥� from generating sample code to drafting configuration notes 鈥� can be automated, freeing consultants to focus on advising stakeholders, shaping roadmaps, and managing change.

麻豆原创 Joule for Consultants also helps ensure consistency and quality at scale. Teams across markets and time zones can draw on the same trusted guidance, cross-check design decisions against proven implementation patterns, and onboard new colleagues more quickly.

By embedding best practices directly into project execution, Joule for Consultants extends 麻豆原创鈥檚 long-standing investments in enablement and certification, turning static learning into live support. In doing so, it helps the next generation of consultants build confidence faster and deliver better outcomes for customers from day one.

麻豆原创 Partners as Catalysts of AI-First Transformation

麻豆原创鈥檚 partner ecosystem remains central to our AI-first, Suite-first strategy, and partners throughout APAC are leading the shift towards AI-enabled consulting. As 麻豆原创 Chief Partner Officer Karl Fahrbach highlighted at 麻豆原创 Global Partner Summit at 麻豆原创 Sapphire earlier this year: 鈥淧artners will deliver the promise of 麻豆原创 Business Suite.鈥�

In APAC, partners such as ABeam Consulting, Infosys, ITSN Korea, LTIMindtree, , , and many more are already embedding 麻豆原创 Joule for Consultants into their methodologies and training programmes to enhance delivery speed and collaboration.

KPMG, for example, was the first global partner to pilot Joule for Consultants with 麻豆原创, and together with 麻豆原创, have been for delivering meaningful real-world AI transformation.

The APAC region is already seeing tangible impact when 麻豆原创 partners combine industry expertise with AI-powered innovation. 麻豆原创 Joule for Consultants is guiding faster design, sharper diagnostics, and cleaner architectures that help our joint customers realise value sooner.

From Pilots to Practice

The next chapter for 麻豆原创 partners is about scaling AI adoption and innovation. Many partners are moving beyond pilot programmes and embedding 麻豆原创 Joule for Consultants into their standard methodologies. Others are co-innovating with 麻豆原创 to explore capabilities like AI-driven diagnostics or automated value-tracking.

As 麻豆原创 across APAC, our partners are also building AI-native skills that go far beyond using a tool: they鈥檙e redesigning how projects are delivered, how teams collaborate, and how value is measured.

And that may be the greatest impact of 麻豆原创 Joule for Consultants. It doesn鈥檛 just make consulting faster 鈥� it makes it smarter, more consistent, and more accessible to the next generation of talent, elevating the work consultants can do, giving them the space to focus on insights, relationships, and results.

Partners have always been the engine of 麻豆原创鈥檚 ecosystem. With tools like 麻豆原创 Joule for Consultants, they are now supercharged with the intelligence layer needed to drive new transformations across APAC.

The post 麻豆原创 Debuts Business Data Cloud with Databricks to Turbocharge Business AI appeared first on 麻豆原创 Southeast Asia News Center.

Jakarta 鈥� 15 October 2024 鈥� Indonesian midmarket organisations looking for growth are more likely to put a high priority on generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) than those who are experiencing revenue success 鈥� though all organisations are adopting new AI innovations in every corner of their business.

A recent study by 麻豆原创 found Indonesian midmarket businesses, defined as companies with between 250 and 1,500 employees, with low revenue growth are more likely to put a strong priority on the adoption of Gen AI (60%) than those with higher revenue growth (51%).

“Business AI is the biggest technology opportunity of the 21^st century for businesses in Indonesia,鈥� said Utkarsh Maheshwari, Chief Partner Officer and Head of MidMarket, 麻豆原创 Asia Pacific & Japan.

鈥淏ut the benefits of Business AI are not restricted to enterprises. Organisations of every size can realise the opportunities that relevant, reliable, and responsible AI can provide.听That isn鈥檛 just image generation or making videos. It鈥檚 automating everyday pain points, providing great insights quickly, and reliably solving simple business problems.鈥�

Adopting AI is a top organisational priority in Indonesia

The study, which surveyed 556 organisations in Indonesia and 12,003 globally, found use of artificial intelligence is a top organisational priority for midmarket businesses.

Adopting Gen AI is a medium or high priority for 95% of Indonesian businesses, while adopting standard business applications of AI like machine learning for data analysis and predictive analytics was a top priority for 94%. Other key priorities include cybersecurity threats (95%), environmental sustainability (95%), and addressing gaps in supply chains (93%).

Artificial intelligence is seen as a priority to transform organisational processes in every corner of the business.

Over six in ten midmarket organisations in Indonesia place a high priority on AI to transform their data security and privacy (62%). Other key areas AI can transform include boosting decision-making (57%), creating new business models (50%), optimising supply chains (48%), personalising user experiences (46%), and improving customer experience (46%).

AI is creating value for Indonesian businesses today

But AI isn鈥檛 just being planned to achieve future benefits. It is being implemented today.

AI is already in use to a moderate or strong degree in midmarket Indonesian businesses to develop marketing and sales content (92%), interact with customers or vendors (91%), detect fraud (89%), and monitor for cybersecurity threats (87%).

鈥淎I is not new. In fact, we鈥檝e been using it for decades,鈥� continued Maheshwari. 鈥淢ore than 27,000 customers are already using 麻豆原创 Business AI today, including many in Indonesia. We鈥檝e released more than 70 Generative AI use cases in the past year, and we expect more than 100 use cases to be available by the end of 2024. The time to explore the benefits of Business AI is now.鈥�

Indonesian midmarket businesses see data as key risk to growth 鈥� and AI adoption

Yet challenges remain to drive growth in Indonesian midmarket businesses.

Respondents noted lack of quality data for planning or decision-making (41%) and supply chain disruption (40%) as key internal challenges to growth, alongside issues with lack of integration between systems (38%) and outdated technology (32%).

And data is also cited as an organisational risk when it comes to AI. Midmarket businesses in Indonesia said the biggest risks to their company from AI were acting upon incorrect information (37%), lack of transparency in results (33%), insufficient data size and quality (32%) and legal liabilities (31%).

“The better the quality and scale of your data, the better the results of your AI,鈥� concluded Maheshwari. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 why working with a technology partner like 麻豆原创 is critical, because it is already built into the applications that power the most critical business processes. Only then can Indonesian businesses of every size make the promise of Business AI a reality.鈥�

About this research

麻豆原创 Insights collected data from 12,003 respondents across 20 nations and 28 industries. Respondents were from organisations with between 250 and 1,500 employees, with director to C-suite titles. The study was conducted in March-April 2024 via an online survey.

麻豆原创 Ungkap Bisnis Skala Menengah Indonesia dengan Pertumbuhan Rendah lebih cenderung utamakan Gen AI

95% bisnis skala menengah Indonesia mengatakan adopsi generative AI merupakan prioritas utama dalam bisnis

Jakarta 鈥� 15 Oktober 2024 鈥� Perusahaan-perusahaan skala menengah di Indonesia yang sedang mengalami pertumbuhan lebih cenderung memberikan prioritas tinggi pada kecerdasan buatan generatif (Gen AI) dibandingkan dengan perusahaan-perusahaan yang telah berhasil meningkatkan pendapatannya – meskipun semua perusahaan tersebut mengadopsi inovasi-inovasi AI baru di setiap lini bisnis mereka.

Sebuah studi terbaru dari 麻豆原创 menemukan bahwa perusahaan-perusahaan skala menengah di Indonesia, yang didefinisikan sebagai perusahaan dengan jumlah karyawan antara 250 hingga 1.500 orang, dengan pertumbuhan pendapatan di bawah rata-rata, cenderung menempatkan prioritas tinggi pada adopsi Gen AI (60%) dibandingkan dengan perusahaan-perusahaan yang memiliki pertumbuhan pendapatan yang lebih tinggi (51%).

鈥淏usiness AI merupakan peluang teknologi terbesar di abad ke-21 untuk perusahaan-perusahaan di Indonesia,鈥� ujar Utkarsh Maheshwari, Chief Partner Officer and Head of MidMarket, 麻豆原创 Asia Pacific & Japan.

鈥淣amun, manfaat dari Business AI tidak terbatas pada perusahaan. Organisasi dengan skala apa pun dapat mewujudkan peluang yang dapat ditawarkan oleh AI yang relevan, handal, dan bertanggung jawab. Bukan hanya menghasilkan gambar atau membuat video. AI mengotomatiskan masalah sehari-hari, memberikan wawasan yang hebat dengan cepat, dan memecahkan masalah bisnis sederhana dengan andal.鈥�

Mengadopsi AI menjadi prioritas utama perusahaan di Indonesia

Studi yang mensurvei 556 organisasi di Indonesia dan 12.003 organisasi di seluruh dunia ini menemukan bahwa penggunaan kecerdasan buatan merupakan prioritas utama bagi perusahaan kelas menengah.

Mengadopsi Gen AI merupakan prioritas sedang atau utama bagi 95% bisnis di Indonesia, sementara mengadopsi aplikasi bisnis standar AI seperti machine learning untuk analisis data dan analisis prediktif merupakan prioritas utama bagi 94%. Prioritas utama lainnya termasuk ancaman keamanan siber (95%), kelestarian lingkungan (95%), dan mengatasi kesenjangan dalam rantai pasokan (93%).

Kecerdasan buatan dipandang sebagai prioritas untuk mengubah proses organisasi di setiap lini bisnis.

Lebih dari enam dari sepuluh organisasi skala menengah di Indonesia menempatkan AI sebagai prioritas utama untuk mentransformasi keamanan dan privasi data (62%). Area utama lainnya yang dapat ditransformasikan oleh AI adalah meningkatkan pengambilan keputusan (57%), menciptakan model bisnis baru (50%), mengoptimalkan rantai pasokan (48%), mempersonalisasi pengalaman pengguna (46%), dan meningkatkan pengalaman pelanggan (46%).

AI menciptakan nilai tambah bagi bisnis di Indonesia saat ini

Namun, AI tidak hanya dirancang untuk memberikan manfaat di waktu mendatang. AI sedang diterapkan saat ini.

AI sudah digunakan pada tingkat yang moderat atau kuat di bisnis kelas menengah Indonesia untuk mengembangkan konten pemasaran dan penjualan (92%), berinteraksi dengan pelanggan atau vendor (91%), mendeteksi penipuan (89%), dan memantau ancaman keamanan siber (87%).

鈥淎I bukanlah hal yang baru. Faktanya, kami telah menggunakannya selama beberapa dekade,鈥� lanjut Maheshwari. 鈥淟ebih dari 27.000 pelanggan telah menggunakan 麻豆原创 Business AI saat ini, termasuk di Indonesia. Kami telah menghadirkan lebih dari 70 contoh kasus penggunaan Generative AI di tahun lalu, dan kami berharap lebih dari 100 contoh kasus akan tersedia pada akhir tahun 2024. Sekarang adalah waktu yang tepat untuk mengeksplorasi manfaat dari Business AI.鈥�

Perusahaan skala menengah di Indonesia melihat data sebagai risiko utama bagi pertumbuhan – dan adopsi AI

Namun, masih ada beberapa tantangan untuk mendorong pertumbuhan bisnis skala menengah di Indonesia.

Para responden menyatakan kurangnya kualitas data untuk perencanaan atau pengambilan keputusan (41%) dan gangguan rantai pasokan (40%) sebagai tantangan internal utama terhadap pertumbuhan, di samping masalah kurangnya integrasi antar sistem (38%) dan teknologi yang sudah ketinggalan zaman (32%).

Data juga disebut sebagai risiko organisasi dalam hal AI. Perusahaan-perusahaan skala menengah di Indonesia mengatakan bahwa risiko terbesar yang dihadapi perusahaan mereka akibat AI adalah mengambil keputusan berdasarkan informasi yang salah (37%), kurangnya transparansi hasil (33%), kurangnya jumlah dan kualitas data (32%), serta tuntutan hukum (31%).

鈥淪emakin baik kualitas dan skala data Anda, semakin baik pula hasil AI Anda,鈥� pungkas Maheshwari. 鈥淚tulah mengapa bekerja sama dengan mitra teknologi seperti 麻豆原创 sangatlah penting, karena 麻豆原创 telah dibangun di dalam aplikasi yang mendukung proses bisnis yang dianggap krusial. Hanya dengan begitu, bisnis Indonesia dari berbagai skala dapat mewujudkan potensi Business AI.鈥�

Tentang Penelitian Ini

麻豆原创 Insights mengumpulkan data dari 12.003 responden di 20 negara dan 28 industri. Responden berasal dari perusahaan dengan jumlah karyawan 250 hingga 1.500, dengan posisi dari direktur hingga C-suite. Studi ini dilakukan pada Maret-April 2024 melalui survei online.

The post Partner Quotes: 麻豆原创 invests S$12 million in its Digital Innovation Accelerator to boost adoption of Business AI in Singapore appeared first on 麻豆原创 Southeast Asia News Center.

Since 2019 鈥� before AI became the buzzword it is today 鈥� we鈥檝e collaborated with more than 80 enterprises here in Singapore, co-developing AI-driven solutions to make a tangible impact not only on their businesses, but Singapore鈥檚 economy at large.

In 2022, for example, we launched Southeast Asia鈥檚 first 麻豆原创 Labs here in Singapore. The Labs was set up to drive deep technology innovation in areas like , and advancing transformative听digital supply chain,听听and听听solutions.

In all, 麻豆原创 has invested almost S$300 million over the years in driving the development of cutting-edge technology in Singapore.

Today, I am thrilled to share the latest significant milestone in our journey of innovation 鈥� a fresh investment of S$12 million in our Digital Innovation Accelerator dedicated to boosting the adoption of Business AI in Singapore鈥檚 most critical industries: advanced manufacturing, financial services, and travel and logistics.

This announcement comes at a particularly exciting time. On October 1, 2024, Singapore launched Smart Nation 2.0, a refreshed vision to strengthen its national digital leadership, marked by a key S$120 million investment into AI research and development.

There鈥檚 a clear growing recognition that AI is not just a tool for efficiency but a driver for deep scientific and industrial transformation. At 麻豆原创, 飞别鈥檙别 aligned with these national goals, whether it’s improving environmental monitoring or optimising supply chains.

That is why our new initiative matters now more than ever.

Singapore is already at the forefront of digital transformation, thanks to strong government initiatives such as the National AI Strategy and , both of which are helping future-proof the workforce and strengthen the nation鈥檚 global competitiveness.

With 麻豆原创鈥檚 expanded investment, 飞别鈥檙别 further boosting these national efforts and specifically sharpening our focus on highly specialised use cases in priority industries. This means bringing together 麻豆原创鈥檚 deep business process knowledge with advanced data science to create AI solutions tailored to the unique needs of each industry.

Salvatore Lo Presti, 麻豆原创 Business Group Lead for Accenture in the APAC region, commented, 鈥淭hrough Accenture鈥檚 broader generative AI collaboration with 麻豆原创, 飞别鈥檙别 leveraging our technology and industry experience to help organisations in Singapore use 麻豆原创 Business AI to address their most complex and pressing business needs and deliver real value across industries. The 麻豆原创 Digital Innovation Accelerator expansion will provide new opportunities to work with 麻豆原创 to help our joint clients in the region move from pilots to production and reinvent their core business process with AI.鈥�

We are also working with these industry leaders to develop AI applications that further their sustainability goals. This ensures that the solutions we develop are not singularly focused only on profitability, but can also positively impact our planet on a global scale, whether through improving environmental monitoring or optimising supply chains for greater efficiency and reduced waste.

One example that stands out is our work with , a precision plastics manufacturer in Singapore. It is aiming to use AI to better predict production needs and optimise the use of materials, leading to reduced waste and cost savings. This is just one of many instances where AI is not only driving business results but also producing sustainability outcomes.

Abraham Thomas, Managing Partner, IBM Consulting, ASEAN, agrees. He notes, 鈥淥ver time, the biggest gains for Singapore organisations will come from focusing on Gen AI deployments that enhance productivity for their essential business functions. This requires an ecosystem of trusted partners to help them build AI with trustworthy data and governance capabilities. Building on the long-standing collaboration between 麻豆原创 and IBM, which today aims to drive new Gen AI capabilities using watsonx and our Granite LLMs and industry-specific cloud solutions, we look forward to leveraging our technology and expertise to enhance the country鈥檚 economic and business potential together.鈥�

Dave Chen, 麻豆原创 Leader, PwC South East Asia Consulting, added, “PwC has been part of Singapore’s digital growth journey, helping businesses of all stripes on their digital-transformation journeys, powered by our alliance with 麻豆原创. Backed by PwC’s unique Business, Experience, Technology (BXT) approach, we have been helping organisations accelerate growth and sustain value through user-centred innovation. PwC is firmly focused on using GenAl to deliver business value, with our teams across the firm and in our Al factory developing new solutions and finding new ways to help our clients unlock a plethora of opportunities. Through our long-standing alliance with 麻豆原创 we are committed to driving the next phase of growth and prosperity in Singapore by helping clients adopt GenAl purposefully and responsibly, which will spur Al-powered business reinvention and drive sustainable outcomes for our clients.鈥�

Another critical aspect of our initiative is upskilling the local talent pool.

Over the past five years, 麻豆原创 has supported more than 1,000 mid-career professionals through SkillsFuture, and we鈥檝e recently launched a suite of free AI foundational courses to continue this mission. Later this year, we鈥檒l introduce certification courses on Business AI, further helping professionals here in Singapore build the skills needed to thrive in an AI-driven world.

This initiative represents much more than just an investment in technology鈥攊t鈥檚 an investment in the future of Singapore.

By boosting AI adoption in industries that are crucial to the nation鈥檚 economy, 飞别鈥檙别 helping businesses innovate faster and more effectively. At the same time, 飞别鈥檙别 empowering Singaporean organisations to lead the way in sustainability, aligning with Singapore鈥檚 ambitions to become Net Zero by 2050 and playing a crucial role in shaping greener, more responsible business practices.

The alignment between 麻豆原创鈥檚 initiatives and Smart Nation 2.0 is clear. Both seek to build a future-ready workforce, promote innovation, and foster a sustainable digital economy. By continuing to invest in AI and digital transformation, 麻豆原创 is proud to be part of Singapore鈥檚 journey towards becoming a global leader in both AI and sustainability.

The road ahead for AI is incredibly promising, and I鈥檓 proud that 麻豆原创 is at the heart of this transformation and it鈥檚 significant contribution to Singapore鈥檚 digital future. I look forward to seeing the innovations we鈥檒l bring to life in partnership with our customers and the broader ecosystem.

鈥淚f you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.鈥�

In today鈥檚 fast-paced global marketplace dominated by technology, cloud computing and AI have given enterprises new opportunities to optimise productivity and operations 鈥� so, which would you choose? To go fast, or go far?

What if you don鈥檛 have to choose? What if I tell you that you could go fast, and also go far?

How?

While technology providers are each competing to broaden their solution offerings to include the latest and the greatest 鈥� particularly with generative AI technology, in a region such as Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ), it is also becoming increasingly difficult for any single provider to offer one-stop solutions that can cater to all needs.

That鈥檚 why at 麻豆原创, we have doubled down on our partnering strategy. With the surge in demand for cloud-based innovations, our dynamic partner ecosystem is becoming increasingly essential in delivering value, tailored to each customer. Today, 麻豆原创 has more than 25,000 partners in 140 countries globally, with close to 5,000 partners in APJ. We are now living in a new era where our channel partners are leading technology adoption.

Unleashing growth in APJ.

The APJ landscape is anything but homogenous 鈥� while diverse in culture and language, it is also home to a significant community of small and midsize enterprises (SMEs), making up over听96%鹿 of businesses in Asia.

麻豆原创 has long worked with midsize businesses to achieve their goals. Globally, rely on 麻豆原创 to keep them moving forward, and of our customers are small and midsize companies. While midsize companies are the growth engines of the future, 麻豆原创 understands that they also struggle with many of the same business pressures as their larger counterparts.

Midmarket leaders need flexible, agile tools that can provide the ability to scale without increasing costs and complexity. They need solutions that can help them connect, grow, and innovate their businesses today, and be ready for whatever comes next.

So, in March 2023, 麻豆原创 introduced a new offering for midsize customers: 鈥� a ready-to-run cloud ERP solution, powered by . As a company that already supports the world鈥檚 largest enterprises, at 麻豆原创, we know what it takes to help customers harness benefits from cloud solutions. Based on our success with offering, we are now transferring those industry best practices and deep expertise to help midsize companies realise the value of adopting cloud ERP too.

This is how we help you go fast.

The GROW with 麻豆原创 offering features services and tools that streamline project delivery at a fixed rate, and the ability to deliver technical go-lives in as little as four to six weeks. Midsize businesses can now enjoy and the of a right-sized, cloud ERP solution, all at a predictable cost.

And here’s how we help you go far.

GROW with 麻豆原创 customers also gain access to a of local, expert partners, and free learning resources designed to help them derive meaningful business results. Through fit-to-standard configurations, our customers can minimise technical customisations so they can run fast; and add on modular business applications, enabled by , one priority at a time, so they can run far 鈥� keeping pace with their speed of innovation, without giving up the readiness to scale as their business grows.

Bringing support closer to you.

For over 50 years, 麻豆原创 has helped organisations of all sizes bring out their best. And we continue to do that with a laser focus on delivering long-term value to our customers.

Not only has 麻豆原创 grown our partner ecosystem exponentially, but we have also introduced new programs, initiatives, and frameworks, that revolutionise the way we operate and innovate together with our partners.

Recently, we launched a new Partner-Led Territories (PLT) initiative that delegates specific territories 鈥� such as a solution area, an industry, or a geographical area 鈥� primarily to carefully appointed partners that meet 麻豆原创鈥檚 criteria. The initiative allows these partners the maximum autonomy in such territories, while bringing consultation and technical support closer to customers. In APJ, the PLT initiative has started rolling out across selected market segments 鈥� especially SME-centric ones 鈥� in Australia, New Zealand, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and emerging markets, including Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos, Maldives, and Nepal, together with our partners. As the initiative matures, we are also constantly applying best practices to prepare for a full-scale rollout across more APJ markets including Japan and South Korea.

The feedback has been very positive. At one of the launch events last quarter in Goa, India, a customer shared his excitement with me:

I鈥檇 never thought growing companies like ours could also access 麻豆原创鈥檚 best-in-class solutions to scale our business 鈥� it had always felt a little out of reach. I鈥檓 so thrilled that we can now discuss our business needs with a local partner and benefit from such cutting-edge technologies too.

The road ahead.

According to a Forbes Insight survey虏, 88% of SME business leaders in the Asia Pacific region are looking to expand their international customer base in the next three years. With the in APJ, 麻豆原创 partners will represent a new key enabler for the growth beyond borders.

At the 麻豆原创 Sapphire conference in Orlando this year, 麻豆原创 announced an unprecedented number of strategic, AI partnerships with global market leaders 鈥� including AWS, IBM, Google Cloud, Meta, Microsoft, Mistral AI, NVIDIA, and more 鈥� infusing Business AI throughout our enterprise cloud portfolio, and supercharging 麻豆原创 BTP with the broadest set of large language models (LLM) to help customers accelerate their AI adoption.

It has never been more exciting to be part of the 麻豆原创 partner ecosystem, and the midmarket business. The pace of innovation in this space is simply exhilarating.

We know that business transformation is a journey, not a destination. To help customers find the right expertise, 麻豆原创 continues to evolve our partner training and validation programs.
