SAP Launched new Cloud version of their software with integrated analytics
Companies can now avail of new SAP technology as the software giant moves into the modern world of cloud computing. The new version will now allow their business customer perform the same accounting, financial, and manufacturing management tasks as before, but in a more modern and efficient manner. This is great news for SAP experts and financial auditors who use the software.
Customers will now avail of public-cloud deployment opposed to building and maintaining their own data centres. With extra features added they now deem the software to be “smart”. It is claimed that it will do everything from managing manufacturing processes, to tracking inventory, to paying bills, to logging payments.
This will be invaluable to large multinationals delivering complex on-prem ERP solutions for the largest organizations on the planet. Essentially it will allow these companies to handle all the “technical heavy lifting” by using public cloud products instead of their own private data centers. In addition it also offers integrated analytics package to take advantage of the increased intelligence.
The overall idea is to provide more automated insight into the company data being collected by the ERP system. The system acts as a more active contributor to assist and augment the human decision makers.
Going forward more and more companies during the hiring process are making SAP knowledge a prerequisite for their audit and accounting openings so this may very well be the next step in our technology driven world.
