COMPANY DESCRIPTION
SAP started in 1972 as a team of five colleagues with a desire to do something new. Together, they changed enterprise software and reinvented how business was done. Today, as a market leader in enterprise application software, we remain true to our roots. That’s why we engineer solutions to fuel innovation, foster equality and spread opportunity for our employees and customers across borders and cultures.

SAP values the entrepreneurial spirit, fostering creativity and building lasting relationships with our employees. We know that a diverse and inclusive workforce keeps us competitive and provides opportunities for all. We believe that together we can transform industries, grow economics, lift up societies and sustain our environment. Because it’s the best-run businesses that make the world run better and improve people’s lives.

Purpose & Objectives

Intelligent enterprises effectively use their data assets to achieve their desired outcomes faster – and with less risk. SAP is committed to helping every customer become a smart, best-run business and gain a competitive edge in the experience economy, through digital technologies. This is the reason behind SAP’s recent bold move to acquire Qualtrics International Inc., a pioneer and global leader in Experience Management (XM), to deliver a unique end-to-end experience and operational management system.

Enterprises will be able to better manage supply chains, networks, employees and core processes by combining SAP’s unparalleled operational data (O-data) across various systems of record – e.g. ERP, HCM, CRM, customer service, and Experience data (X-data), for faster, better decisions based on data-driven experience insights to improve business outcomes. With that SAP intend to help their customers become experience-driven intelligent enterprises.

In parallel, existing customers are asking for what business benefits they should move to the latest SAP S/4h digital core, and how they can take advantage of intelligent technologies like AI/ML, Blockchain, IoT etc to create tangible business value.

In this context, the Value Engineering Team at SAP works collaboratively with enterprises to shape a compelling business Vision, enabled by an SAP-supported value-based Roadmap that will deliver improved business outcomes for an attractive Return on Investment - tailored to the enterprise context, resulting in a positive investment decisions for SAP solutions.
