This breakthrough enabled companies to accelerate their operations and make more informed decisions. The success of SAP HANA paved the way for further innovations, including the adoption of “as a service” models, which allowed companies to reduce costs and boost productivity through cloud-based deployment options.
In conclusion, the world of ERP, SAP, and SAP S/4HANA has evolved significantly in the last three years. The integration of generative AI, the adoption of modern IT architectures, and the need for flexible, scalable ERP systems have all played a critical role in shaping the ERP landscape. In this 5th edition, these strategic topics are explored, and recommendations are made to ensure your organization captures the business benefits needed with your journey to SAP S/4HANA.
AI is a broad umbrella under which there are subareas based on the type of intelligence we want the system to exhibit. First, there’s machine learning, which creates algorithms and different models like statistical models and neural networks to solve different type of problems, without being explicitly programmed. A subcategory of Machine Learning is Deep Learning, which includes Generative AI. Also, conversational AI is a subset of machine learning that involves NLP. With the sudden popularity or availability of large language models (LLMs), conversational AI can be augmented by LLMs so that it can converse with humans in a more meaningful way.
