As for SAP, 1993 entered the China market, and set up its first office in Beijing, then established the SAP China R&D Center in Shanghai, and transformed into the SAP China Research Institute in 2003, becoming one of the key R&D centers of SAP in the world, while Greater China also became the key development market of SAP, and even established the second global one in Nanjing, China at the end of 20 12.
Previously, SAP announced the annual financial results of fiscal year 20 17, in which the cloud service business experienced four consecutive years of growth, even exceeding three-digit growth performance, while the software-related services also experienced double-digit growth, including high-tech industries, vehicles and consumer brands, and all of them established in-depth cooperative relations with SAP. For example, Giants, Iflytek, Chimelong Group and famous brands all adopted SAPS/4HANA cloud business suite. While Baima Ceramic Tile, Yuyue Medical and Amazon Chemical all adopted the service of SAPHybris(CRM Cloud), Chimelong Group and Mingchuang Excellent Products also adopted the service of SAPSuccessFactors (Human Cloud), and China Zhou Heiya and Kenji used SAPAriba (Purchasing Cloud) to optimize their business operations.
SAP said that in the fierce competitive market, in addition to providing quality services, how to make good use of the data generated by its services and whether new technologies can be successfully introduced will also constitute the key to the innovation ability of enterprises. Therefore, its digital innovation system SAPLeonardo hopes to integrate enterprise service resources, data analysis, and add new technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, so that enterprises can transform at a faster speed. When the market demand changes faster and faster, it can be used once every three months on average.
In addition to Giant, Iflytek, Chimelong Group, Baima Tile, Famous Products, Yuyue Medical, Amazon Chemical Zhou Heiya and Kenji all adopted SAP services, including China Minsheng Bank, Mindray and OOCL, which also joined the cooperation with SAP last year. Prior to this, Qilixin, Baocheng Group, National Electronics, Ruxing, Qiao Shan Health Technology and Chengtai Machinery also adopted SAPS/4HANA cloud business suite, cloud platform, and services including analytical cloud, human cloud, travel cloud, CRM cloud and purchasing cloud.
At the same time, in the cooperation with Microsoft last year, the SAP enterprise application service suite was brought into the Microsoft store in the form of UniversalWindowsApps, so that enterprises operating with Windows 10 or Windows 10S operating systems can more conveniently handle internal operation requirements through SAP services. The cooperation with GoogleCloudPlatform is to integrate its services into Google cloud services, thus accelerating the deployment of various service models on the enterprise side.
From focusing on software application mode in the past, SAP will focus more on cloud application layout to help enterprises transform at a faster speed.
