SAP Follows Its Own Advice to Cloud-based HR

When SAP acquired SuccessFactors, most people viewed it as a quantum leap forward for the company into the cloud, and rightly so.

As an SAP employee, I’ve been an active participant in this transformational journey along with our partners and customers. Last week I blogged about several companies—Kawasaki, Triumph Foods, and Owens Corning—that are using SuccessFactors for performance advantage. These are just a microcosm of the thousands of customers that have figured out how SuccessFactors can strategically change the role of human resources (HR), and in doing so, impact employee engagement for the better.

It only makes sense for SAP itself to adopt SuccessFactors for its 67,000 employees in 60 countries. In this video, Brigette McInnis Day, Executive Vice President of Human Resources at SAP, spotlights the results of SAP’s implementation of SuccessFactors. Here’s how she describes the company’s rationale for the move and manager response.

“Our business was at a critical time of change. We were on a very old version of technology from an HR perspective. Our acquisition of SuccessFactors allowed us to leap forward to all the things we knew we wanted to do. It’s really about understanding the workforce analytics for the future.”

After the initial six-week pilot, SAP executives saw results that immediately support the company’s overall “run simple” mantra. Replacing spreadsheets with real-time data, leaders have been empowered in entirely news ways, says McInnis Day.

“With SuccessFactors, I’m able to identify all my talent, I know what they want, when they’re able to move, when they’re actually able to take on a new role. I’m able to match the learning solution right with them on all of the learning maps whether on SAP Jam, Performance, Employee Profile, Talent Assessment, Succession Planning, or Compensation.”

As always, the bigger story lies beyond the technology. McInnis Day emphasizes how SuccessFactors has allowed SAP to evolve HR by shifting more processes into the company’s shared services organization. This is turning HR into a business partner providing strategic consultative support for the business.

Perhaps most important, since the implementation of SuccessFactors, overall employee satisfaction with the HR organization has increased in some countries by up to 30 percent. McInnis Day says this jump is directly correlated to the technology they’re using every day. “The only thing you’ll get out of an engaged employee is passion, productivity, and a win for SAP.”

As for advice to customers that aren’t certain where to begin the move to cloud-based HR solutions, McInnis Day says that alignment between the business and employee strategies is crucial. “Base your decisions on your business strategy and also the employee lifecycle. Match it up so it doesn’t feel artificial. The important thing is, you can start anywhere and go anywhere, and that’s what you want.”

Making B2B Commerce as Easy as Consumer Buying

Chakib Bouhdary, President of Business Networks at SAP, talks about how SAP and eBay are simplifying business commerce

As a consumer, if your refrigerator stops working, you get online, find a few suppliers, compare prices and with a couple of clicks, buy a new one and have it delivered and installed. But what do you do as a business when your assembly line shuts down because a key part failed?

For most companies, managing such unplanned, time-sensitive and mission-critical purchases – or as they are known in the industry “spot buys” – is a challenging, costly, and risky process. But a partnership between SAP and eBay promises to make this a lot easier. In this interview, Chakib Bouhdary, talks about how these two companies are joining forces to make it as simple for companies to find and buy items to run their businesses as it is for consumers to purchase books and music.

SAP News: What makes spot buys so challenging?

Chakib Bouhdary: Spot buys account for more than 40 percent of the average company’s total spend. What makes them so difficult to manage is that they require time-sensitive supplier identification, qualification, and bidding. Most companies lack the tools to facilitate this.

As a consumer, if you need a new phone, you get online and order it and in three days, it arrives on your doorstep. Or, if you’re willing to pay more, you can have it overnight. But what do you do as a business when you need an ergonomic chair for an employee who is starting tomorrow?

You can’t afford to have a category manager take this kind of spend through a strategic sourcing process, which can take anywhere from six to 30 weeks. You need a solution through which employees can make purchases now, and do it in compliance with your procurement processes and policies.

How will SAP’s partnership with eBay simplify this process?

At SAP, we operate the world’s largest business-to-business trading network. It is used by more than 1.5 million companies to transact over half a trillion USD in commerce on an annual basis. And eBay has built one of the world’s largest online marketplaces, where practically anyone can buy and sell practically anything.

In connecting our communities through Ariba Network Spot Buy, we can simplify business commerce and make it as easy for companies to find and buy the items they need to run their operations as it is for consumers to find and buy the items they need to run their lives. We can eliminate the complexity that is hindering business commerce and enable companies of all sizes to run better and fuel growth.

How will buyers benefit from Ariba Network Spot Buy?

For the first time, global procurement organizations can apply spend management rigor to non-contracted spend, eliminating maverick buying and improving processes. Individual buyers will be able to easily search for, and buy, items from the largest base of qualified sellers through their existing procurement systems. Employees will have a better process for spot buys. Lastly, procurement will gain spend control and visibility into a large category of spend that has previously been extremely difficult to manage.

What opportunities does the solution open for sellers?

Selling organizations of all sizes gain access to the world’s largest community of business buyers. The buyers have budget, are in active purchasing cycles and are open to a new channel for business. This enables the sellers to win new customers and gain additional business from existing customers.

So how does Ariba Network Spot Buy work?

The solution will display appropriate business-related content from eBay Marketplace and deliver it inside SAP’s cloud-based procurement solutions, including Ariba Procurement Content, Ariba Procure-to-Pay, and Ariba Procure-to-Order. By leveraging the new offering, procurement organizations can provide access to eBay Marketplace content inside their Ariba cloud procurement applications. The solutions apply specific business rules to ensure that purchases are made in compliance with company policies. This will allow end users to easily buy the things they need, with the controls and visibility that procurement desires.

How is Ariba Network Spot Buy different from other offerings aimed at indirect materials such as Amazon Supply or online catalogs and distributors?

Spot buying is not a shopping problem that can be overcome with catalogs for indirect materials alone. It’s a procurement challenge that requires a combination of technology, content, processes and expertise to solve. SAP – and only SAP – can deliver this through the combination of its Ariba Network, its cloud-based procurement applications and its relationship with eBay’s expansive catalogs for indirect goods.

How will it change the game for business commerce?

Despite all the money that has been invested in technology to simplify business commerce, it’s still really hard. With Ariba Network Spot Buy, we can eliminate the complexity that is hindering business and enable companies of all sizes to run better and fuel growth.

SAP Urban Matters Initiative Helps Improve Quality of Life in Latin American Cities

BUENOS AIRES — At an event today in Buenos Aires, SAP SE highlighted how the SAP Urban Matters initiative is helping local governments in Latin America improve quality of life in the region’s dynamic and fast-growing cities. The event featured discussions of how the Gobierno de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (GCBA) is using solutions and internationally-refined management practices from SAP to better respond to citizens, make faster decisions and manage contractors and budgets.

With 13 million people, Greater Buenos Aires is South America’s second-largest urban area and is a global cultural and economic center. Governed as an autonomous city, the metropolitan area covers more than 5,000 square kilometers; GCBA must maintain approximately 700,000 objects: 450,000 trees, 125,000 lights, 54,000 sidewalks, 30,000 drains and 27,000 roads. In many cases, GCBA relies on contractors to address issues, often citizen-reported, such as uneven sidewalks, potholes or overgrown vegetation.

Before implementing multiple SAP solutions including SAP Mobile Platform in 2012, GCBA employees had no way to seamlessly manage this work and communicate specifications to contractors. They worked with paper records and disparate software applications and were unable to quickly route service requests to the appropriate departments.  This uneven, lag-prone management system sometimes resulted in suboptimal planning and service shortfalls.

Today, GCBA’s Environment and Public Spaces Ministry is able to better integrate information and respond quickly to citizen needs through centralized incident management, permit registration and purchase management.  Supplier relationships have been improved, as ministry workers can now better assess contractor work performance and effectively communicate feedback.  Due to improved data access and recording of project progress, the ministry can track maintenance history on specific objects and equipment, which helps with planning budgets.

“Latin America is already the world’s most urbanized region*,” said Sean O’Brien, global vice president for Urban Matters & Public Security, SAP. “The region’s rising economic influence and global profile, exemplified by the recent FIFA World Cup and upcoming Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, shows the promise and challenges of Latin America’s cities. Urban best practices and technology that SAP has developed with public sector customers worldwide have a track record of successfully addressing those challenges.”

SAP will host a similar event on August 13 in Colima, Mexico, including the Governor of the State of Colima, Mario Anguiano Moreno. The Gobierno del Estado de Colima chose SAP solutions to help it enhance government accountability in compliance with Mexico’s General Law of Governmental Accounting (LGCG). Colima is using the SAP ERP application to integrate all financial processes, including tax collection, payroll and public works.

The State of Colima is among the most socially and economically advanced in Mexico, ranking sixth out of Mexico’s 32 states on the UN’s Human Development Index and classed as highly developed.** Colima’s strong performance in such rankings is due in part to the commitment of Colima’s leadership, at both the state and municipal level, to transparent and responsive government.

EPA Ranks SAP Among Top 100 Green Power Users in the U.S.

WALLDORF — SAP SE has been recognized as one the top 100 green power users  by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In the U.S., SAP buys 86 million kilowatt-hours of renewable power annually, sufficient to meet 100 percent of the company’s electricity use. SAP is also ranked number 10 on the Top 30 Tech & Telecom list.

The EPA estimates that the annual green power purchase by SAP is equal to avoiding carbon emissions from more than 12,000 passenger vehicles or 8,000 average American homes in a year.

Earlier this year, SAP announced that its data centers and all offices run on electricity from only renewable sources. This will help eliminate carbon emissions caused by its customers’ systems by moving them into a green cloud. SAP is also adding more electric vehicles to its company car fleet. The goal is to have 20 percent electric cars by 2020 and these will be powered by renewable energy.

“SAP takes a holistic approach to sustainability and this recognition by the EPA is great validation for our environmental efforts,” said Daniel Schmid, chief sustainability officer, SAP SE. “Since taking wide-reaching measures in 2008, SAP has reduced its carbon footprint by nine percent in spite of a strong company growth. SAP is committed to preserving natural resources and helping our customers do the same.”

In addition to the spot among the top green power users in the U.S., SAP has been ranked the No. 1 software and services company in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the past seven years.

Cloud Solution Waves Goodbye to Paperwork

Cab receipts, restaurant bills, train tickets. The list goes on. Business travelers need to keep and manage a vast array of paper receipts when they’re on the move. The SAP Cloud for Travel and Expense solution is here to make their lives easier.

Everyone can identify with the scenario: Taxi receipts, restaurant bills, and train tickets collected over a two-week period lie scattered across your desk. But which business trip does each ticket and receipt belong to? Where did that cab journey start and end? Who dined with you at that restaurant and why? And, the longer ago the trip took place, the harder it becomes to remember the details.

Capture receipts on your smartphone

Never fear, help is at hand! When you take a taxi cab to the train station, you simply write your departure and destination points on the fare receipt, take a picture of the document with your smartphone, and – without future ado – the information is captured and stored in SAP Cloud for Travel and Expense.

This cloud-based solution from SAP, which is integrated in ERP, not only makes it easier for employees to manage their travel and expense documents. It also accelerates the process of getting business trips approved and having upfront payments reimbursed. The information required by managers is sent straight to their smartphones or tablets so that they can process requests and approvals on the fly.

More information is also available in a German-language webinar.

Independent Research Firm Names SAP as a Leader in Customer-Centric Global Banking Platforms

WALLDORF — SAP SE today announced that is has been ranked by Forrester Research Inc. as a leader in its report “The Forrester Wave™: Customer-Centric Global Banking Platforms, Q3 2014.” The report cited that the SAP for Banking solution portfolio “sees a sophisticated support of customer-focused banking platform elements such as multichannel business processes and social media.”

Forrester evaluated the eight most significant software providers across 74 criteria encompassing the strength of their current offering, how their strategy matches up with industry trends and banking needs and the weight of their market presence. According to the report, “SAP, with its deep experience in business applications, offers comprehensive banking functionality, customer-focused banking platform capabilities, business flexibility via tooling, and comes with the broadest off-the-shelf support of analytics and accounting.”

Customer-centricity is the top priority for 81 percent of large banks surveyed in a 2013 report by Bloomberg Businessweek**. Half of the banks reported that they do not have the right sophisticated capabilities to support their customer strategies.

“Banking interactions are no longer occurring through just the teller or ATM,” said Falk Rieker, global head of the Banking business unit at SAP. “It’s happening digital on social networks and on mobile apps with a whole new audience of digital natives. We’ve adapted to these trends by creating an integrated, customer-centric platform that empowers banks to understand and engage with their customers in these channels, in the way they want.”

The SAP for Banking solution portfolio streamlines core processes with a comprehensive collection of integrated end-to-end solutions covering multichannel management, transactional banking, payments, finance and risk management, customer engagement, human resources and procurement.
