The New Reality with SAP Digital
Never before has there been so many opportunities for organisations to re-imagine and re-define their processes and become a truly digital business. From smart devices, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) through to block-chain, big data, analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT), there are already a wide variety of SAP digital use cases that tap into new data sources, gain new insights and improve operational efficiencies.
Re-imagine your Industry:
Manufacturing and Production:
- Streams from shop floor machines combined with environmental condition sensors, worker productivity measurements and production output data can be fed through machine learning algorithms in order to deliver efficiencies such as predictive maintenance and improved job scheduling. This approach can also be used to highlight opportunities to improve productivity through better training or operating procedures.
Distribution & Logistics:
- Sensor data correlated from vehicle locations, pallets, goods and employees, boosting the efficiency of the logistics chain
Travel:
- Sensors that correlate flight data with luggage and passenger location, optimising logistics chains and offering targeted, customer-centric services.
Agriculture:
- Intelligent field equipment that receives data from weather, soil and seed sensors, helping farmers plant the right crops at the right time in the best location in order to ensure the highest yield.
Professional Services:
- Machine learning applications and AI platforms that build your intelligent foundation from automating payment matching in finance, intelligent job matching in HR through to gathering, analysing and responding to feedback in Customer Services.
Financial Services:
- Modern Data Platforms and advanced analytics to provide greater customer insight supporting extreme personalisation and the ability to react to change faster
Healthcare:
- Wearable devices that report on patient metrics, helping clinicians identify life-threatening conditions or suggest behavioural changes that could improve a person’s health.
Public services:
- From embedded road sensors that monitor traffic, air pollution and highway conditions through to block chains capable of reducing fraud and improving purchasing.
Energy and environmental:
- Connected sensors and applications that allow businesses to centrally and securely control devices and the energy they consume for greater cost savings and enhanced sustainability.

it.digital Design Thinking
Our flexible and collaborative design thinking approach will engage with the business and IT to solve complex business problems in design-led ways, leveraging SAP digital innovation technologies. Our global SAP knowledge and our SAP digital experts will introduce new concepts and create a powerful catalyst for change.
Design Thinking has 2 guiding principles: i. User empathy: the process and outcome is based on the situation, pain points and needs of the involved user(s). ii. Rapid Prototyping: drawing or sketching a rough idea of how the solution may look, can be hugely valuable. Sharing the prototypes with the users provides valuable feedback on the potential success of your solution. This approach results in significantly increased collaboration between business users and IT which in turn delivers higher user adoption and satisfaction. We adopt a user-centric approach with creativity and co-creation, and translate the individual user needs with context mapping, data design, sprint reviews and prototypes through to implementation and support.
