A clean slate sounds great! But it’s a brave call indeed to implement from scratch, especially if you’re a big multinational. Yet a decades-long SAP customer did just that, driven by its own customers’ demand for speed – and a clear mission.
“Our mission is to help the customer be fast-moving,” Takuya Sakai, general manager of Hitachi High-Tech Corporation’s Digital Transformation Business Group, said in an SAP Winning Insights video after appearing in an SAP TechEd keynote last year. “And our corporate vision is a simplified customer process.”
So, in the name of speed and simplicity, Hitachi High-Tech did more than just modify its solution architecture; the Tokyo-based subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd. opted for a greenfield SAP S/4HANA transformation. That meant designing and building a new environment customized for its specific needs.
And it did so via an ambitious digital experience program with the goal of helping to simplify its customers’ high-tech processes across nano-technology, analytical and medical, as well as other business categories.

SAP Spend Connect Live is the industry’s premier spend management event — a reputation that is well earned. And this year will be no exception.
Once again, we are prepared to showcase groundbreaking innovations that will revolutionize the landscape of spend management. As I continue to engage with our customers, their enthusiasm for our latest offerings helps validate our commitment to delivering solutions that streamline processes and empower businesses to achieve their full potential.
At SAP our focus is on automating tedious, time-consuming tasks, allowing you to concentrate on the strategic decisions that drive your organization forward. SAP continues to invest heavily in innovations across the spend management and business network portfolio, including new artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and seamless integrations, enabling users to navigate uncertainty, seize optimization opportunities, and simplify processes. Our goal is to give you the freedom to shape your business’s future without the distraction of day-to-day operational noise.
During my keynote, I outlined our product strategy for the coming year, emphasizing three key pillars: Data, Intelligence, and Suite. These focus areas are a direct response to the valuable input we’ve received from customers. I am confident that our continuing investments in these areas will provide them with the insights needed to make informed, strategic decisions that propel their organization to new heights.
Our newest capabilities across our intelligent spend management solutions enable customers to gain visibility across all of their processes, eliminating fragmented touchpoints that hinder progress.
As Mickey North Rizza, group vice-president of Enterprise Software at IDC, recently shared, “SAP continues to dominate the procurement applications space as measured by market share because customers want a seamless user experience with which to conduct the full spectrum of their spend management/procurement activity. When layering in the breadth of SAP’s industry experience, the expansive business network, and direct sourcing capabilities, SAP has clearly earned its place.”
I couldn’t agree more. Our commitment to maintaining our position as the industry standard in spend management is unwavering, and we will continue to set the benchmark for providing a smooth, efficient user interface while delivering unparalleled visibility into every aspect of spend.
Now, let’s dive into this year’s announcements.
SAP is dedicated to delivering best-in-class solutions infused with AI, empowering you to prioritize strategic initiatives over mundane tasks. We understand and hear the concerns surrounding data security when implementing AI, which is why we have made no compromises in ensuring our AI capabilities set the standard for compliance. From third-party advisory boards to adhering to the UNESCO 10 Guiding Principles for Ethical AI and singing the EU AI Pact, we enable customers to harness the power of AI without sacrificing control over their data.
SAP’s generative AI copilot Joule will be seamlessly integrated across SAP Ariba, SAP Business Network, and SAP Fieldglass starting in Q4 of 2024. Joule will enable users to manage their most important tasks quickly and accurately across all areas of our spend management portfolio.
In SAP Ariba, users will be able to use generative AI-infused capabilities to create RFPs and request help with routine inquiries and surface risks. These capabilities will also provide buying recommendations along with comprehensive supplier summaries from different data sources. In addition, sustainability scorecard from SAP Ariba ensures that customers can make informed decisions that align with their organizations’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives.
With Joule, SAP Fieldglass users can take advantage of template recommendations to generate job postings and SOWs with pre-filled information, saving precious time. Users can now request assistance and insights in natural language, and immediately receive responses from Joule directly from the SAP Help Portal. It is now possible to ask Joule how to create a job posting and receiving accurate, step-by-step instructions complete with links and resources.
SAP Business Network will use Joule to help with logistics and asset management tasks. Joule provides SAP Business Network users a natural language interface and navigation for scenarios such as status requests and queries, supporting freight orders, freight bookings, invoice disputes, equipment, notifications, and work orders. It will also provide insights into rejected invoices to reduce manual intervention for errors. Suppliers can dive into potential business opportunities based on keyword matching that selects best-fit profiles for RFIs.
Most companies have a complex landscape of disparate and siloed solutions for handling procurement needs such as purchase requests, contract processing, or helping onboard a new services provider. Typically, employees don’t know which platform, portal, or system will handle their request because it isn’t a task they perform regularly. Hours of time may be wasted trying to figure out how to make the request in the first place and track down subsequent status updates.
But no more: SAP Ariba Intake Management, a brand-new solution built on SAP Business Technology Platform, will automate procurement request creation and provide process orchestration, including routing and support across diverse procurement landscapes and complex workflows. By connecting different systems into one central location for procurement inquiries and status updates, employees can adhere to your organization’s policies and comply with necessary regulations without the need for time consuming manual corrections. SAP Ariba Intake Management will offer one pane of glass for status updates and requests, making procurement orchestration simpler and more intuitive. Scheduled to be available in Q1 of 2025, the solution will offer out-of-the-box integration with other SAP solutions and a robust set of connectors for third-party integration.
We announced a new promote subscription for the SAP Business Network, designed to deliver immediate value to suppliers, helping them to find new business, improve match potential, and build relationships with buyers using the network catalog. Through the promote subscription, suppliers will receive recommendations to improve discoverability, advanced search results, supplier profile verification, and network catalog APIs. With the help of generative AI tools, suppliers can now load their full suite of offerings into the network catalog faster and with enhanced product descriptions and summaries. The new promote subscription will also help suppliers identify sales opportunities based on regional search data and use advanced insights to track business growth on the network.
SAP Fieldglass delivers a new, enhanced analytics capability with next-level insights into your external workforce. The analytics add-on with AI capabilities will help businesses meet sustainability and human rights goals, acquire talent quickly, and implement multi-channel talent acquisition strategies. Users can benchmark and predict external talent scenarios, review performance against KPIs, track trends against industry averages, and monitor sustainability and compliance initiatives.
As we continue to listen to our customers and invest in our spend management and business network solution offerings, our commitment to setting the standard for spend management software remains steadfast. We are committed to providing innovative solutions that help our customers collaborate strategically with their business partners, enhance productivity, and improve compliance.

Pushing ourselves forward is the spirit of Climate Week NYC, according to SAP Chief Sustainability and Commercial Officer Sophia Mendelsohn. SAP engages with political and business leaders at Climate Week in open and honest dialogues that will help accelerate eco-friendly action.
“I hope that every leader I’ve interacted with … begins to build a Green Ledger with their CSO and their CFO so that we can calculate carbon the same way we do money,” Mendelsohn said. “And then post it in the same place we do profit.”
Integrating all of this data — and standardizing metrics across the supply chain — will be crucial for SAP customers and partners, as well as policymakers, according to Gunther Rothermel, SAP Chief Product Officer for SAP Sustainability.
“The SAP Green Ledger vision is resonating really well [because] it enables clients to bring together financial and sustainability data, and make very informed decisions,” Rothermel said. “This is needed to achieve our goals.”

Many organizations still using SAP ERP or the on-premise version of SAP S/4HANA are planning to migrate to the cloud. The new edition of the “Mapping Your Journey to SAP S/4HANA” guide provides the perfect orientation, with valuable insights, step-by-step instructions, best practices, and comprehensive background information.
The digital landscape is changing rapidly, and companies must constantly adapt to new circumstances. Failure to keep pace can lead to significant challenges, as the automotive industry and its supply chains are currently experiencing. To help companies navigate this dynamic environment, SAP introduced a guide in 2018 that quickly became a standard reference. A completely revised edition is now available.
Dozens of SAP experts from across the company have contributed to this comprehensive guide, which addresses all issues related to the transition to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition. By focusing on the essential technology, IT decision-makers can confidently plan their road map to cloud ERP, avoid pitfalls, and accelerate the time it takes to go live.
At the heart of the guide is the consolidated experience of thousands of successful transformation projects, presented in text and images. It also includes numerous links to additional resources, making the guide a single point of reference for all transformation issues at every project stage. The concept has been well received by customers, with more than 180,000 downloads since the first edition.
“The paper offers a comprehensive and detailed overview of the success factors and essential activities for your journey toward the latest SAP product portfolio.”
– Geoff Scott, CEO, ASUG
Why a new edition now? “We have regularly updated the guide because it was always intended to be a living document,” said co-authors Bjoern Braemer, head of Adoption Execution & Enablement for SAP Customer Evolution, and Niclas Weidner, senior project consultant. “However, the SAP world has changed dramatically in the last six years with the emergence of many innovative tools and methodologies. In addition, the RISE with SAP offering, which we use to help customers move to cloud ERP, has grown significantly. As a result, we have completely revised and reissued the guide, incorporating valuable feedback from our customers and partners.”
“Why invest effort in forging your own path when you can follow the well-traveled paths of fellow community members?”
– Geoff Scott, CEO, ASUG
The goal remains the same: to provide IT managers with all the information they need to successfully implement SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition in one place. The guide is divided into three sections:
The first section provides guidance on making informed decisions about various aspects of transitioning to SAP S/4HANA, including choosing between public and private cloud options, understanding the benefits and features of the GROW with SAP and RISE with SAP offerings, and the implications of changes to cloud operations.
The second section focuses on the critical factors for project success. These include change and knowledge management, customer and supplier master data integration, the partner ecosystem, and more.
The final part describes the 15 most important tools that companies can use to assess their system’s current state, plan and implement the migration, and monitor the project’s progress. These tools include SAP Data Services, SAP Readiness Check, ABAP development tools, and the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit.
“Mapping Your Journey to SAP S/4HANA” is designed to help IT leaders navigate the transformation journey with confidence. It provides the right combination of theoretical knowledge and practical tips to help keep organizations digitally fit beyond 2027. You can read it from cover to cover for a complete understanding or keep it handy for quick, targeted advice on specific stages or challenges. Download it now for free.
