With over four decades of experience, SAP knows what it takes to help organizations move to the next technology opportunity – without throwing away their existing infrastructure investments. We see that the move to the cloud and artificial intelligence can be a struggle for some organizations. We also know that there has been a big change in customer landscapes.
