SAP license: ERP for supply chain management and Implementation

If you judge by intuition , For security 、 Energy and resource industries with high stability requirements usually tend to adopt mature software products . The unexpected thing is , It was launched at the beginning of this year SAPS/4HANA But it is favored by the energy and resource industries , The energy and resources industry S/4HAHA The income is in SAP In the whole industry market, there are a few . Why is that ? Let's listen to SAP What does Mai Enping, general manager of the company's energy and resources industry say .

SAPS/4HANA That's the answer. .”SAP Mai Enping, general manager of the company's energy and resources industry (PeterMaier) Recently, after talking about the challenges and problems faced by the energy and resources industry , Repeat this emphasis .

S/4HANA That's the answer.

“ Enterprises in the energy and resources industry have no choice , The application of new technologies must be accelerated , To meet the challenges brought about by the changing market environment .” Talking about the information application trend of the energy and resources industry , Mainpin pointed out that , Enterprises should make full use of T Tools to increase operational flexibility , On the one hand, reduce operating costs , On the other hand, constantly adjust the business direction .

Menping thinks , At present, the energy and resources industry is facing great changes 、 More and more complex environment : Commodity prices and oil prices fluctuate significantly ; Great changes have taken place in the energy demand structure , High attention to energy conservation and emission reduction , Hydropower and gas industry enterprises bid farewell to their dominant position ; Global Politics 、 The economic landscape is constantly changing , Have a significant impact on the development of the oil and gas industry ; Information technology is accelerating . How to handle complex situations , It has become a key challenge for current energy and resource enterprises .

In menpin's opinion , At present, the energy and resources industry is focusing on IT The requirements of the system focus on the following three aspects : First of all , Get real-time information about the equipment , Ensure the stability of the equipment 、 Reliable and safe , Improve equipment availability ; second , Say goodbye to the lengthy batch process and the unfriendly application interface , Support for mobile applications , Improve user experience : Third , Improve the flexibility of the system , Support simplification of business processes and business decisions .

He said , So SAP It is planned to provide corresponding support in three areas : First of all , Move all solutions to SAPHANA Get on the platform , And provide real-time big data analysis function , Support for mobile applications ; second , Meet the needs of all walks of life 、 Application requirements of different business lines , Support the operation of business network , To help users reduce procurement costs 、 Optimize employee management ,SAP Cloud based vendor management software has been acquired for this purpose Ariba、 Cloud based human capital management software SuccessFactor And cloud based travel management software Concur etc. : Third , Invest a lot of human and material resources to create a consumer level user experience .

To make a long story short ,“S/4HANA That's the answer. ”, Menping said .S/4HANA yes SAP In this year 3 The fourth generation business suite was launched only last month .SAPS/4HANA Is built on a memory platform SAPHANA above , adopt SAPFiori Provide a personalized user experience , Support cloud deployment and enterprise preset deployment modes , Can help enterprises to simplify the police , Promote enterprises to quickly realize value in various business lines and industries .

Steady progress

however , What can't be ignored is , The energy and resources industry has always been concerned about the stability of the system 、 The security requirements are quite high , and SAPHANA It is a relatively new product . that , Whether customers in the energy and resources industry can accept SAPHANA Well ?

Regarding this , Mai Enping said , As a person who knows SAPHANA, People who know the energy industry , He has been in the position of SAPHANA Global head of market strategy , be responsible for SAPHANA Marketing work . He said , In the process , They do pay attention to this concern of the energy and resources industry , And to this end, we have adopted a more conservative strategy : One side , Make steady progress step by step , Start with the report system , After confirming that there is no problem, expand to ERP, Yes, based on SAPHANA Of ERP Functions are simplified ; On the other hand , Every Friday they will review relevant projects 、 summary . therefore , up to now ,SAPHANA None of the projects in the energy and resource industries have experienced major failures .

Besides ,SAP And for SAPHANA Launched a one-stop support service , Not only support software products , It also supports the security of the entire solution 、 Operational work .

It is precisely because of the above series of effective safeguard measures ,SAPHANA It has been highly accepted in the energy and resources industry . Mai Enping introduced , The energy and resources industry S/4HAHA The income is in SAP It is one of the best in the whole industry system , There is SAP Some of our regular customers , There are also some new users . In particular, new users usually adopt SAPS/4HANA, Instead of choosing the traditional SAP Business suite .

He introduced , Shell is SAPHANA A supporter of , Shell initially applied BWonHANA, Later, it gradually expanded its application to S/4HANA.

In China, ,SAPHANA Good performance in the energy and resources industry .SAP Xu Dong, head of China's energy and resources industry, introduced ,SAPS/4HANA After this year's official , Customers soon adopted . such as , Anton's oil service is used SAPS/4HANA To simplify the process , Speed up decision making , Simplify the user interface .

Support business model innovation

In menpin's opinion ,SAPHANA In the energy and resources industry , Focus on the future rather than analyzing the past and nipping problems in the bud like traditional software , Innovative business model .

for instance , It is a very important equipment management field in the energy and resource industry , The past may have been , After the equipment breaks down , Passively troubleshoot , Then consider how to repair the equipment . The future may depend on SAPHANA Application , Relevant personnel can learn about the equipment at any time , And give early warning before equipment failure , Turn passive maintenance into active maintenance . Mai Enping revealed , Houston in the United States has a user in the hydropower and gas industry SAPHANA Relevant solutions can monitor all equipment assets in real time .

For many users ,SAPHANA Perhaps the greater attraction is that it can support business model innovation , Because for some sub sectors of the energy and resources industry , If we continue to operate in the traditional way , Survival and development will become more and more difficult . Mai Enping gives an example , There is a manufacturer of compressors in Germany , At first, the compressor was sold to automobile suppliers , Because the car supplier uses its compressed air . Later, they directly sold the compressed air to car suppliers at the price of quantity .

“ If we combine Internet of things technology with S/4HANA Combine , It will greatly simplify the way enterprises interact with users , Simplify the business process , Reduce the data swallowing amount to 1/7 following , Thus reducing the total cost of ownership of the user's system .” Mai Enping gives an example ,” In this way, users will have more energy and money SAP Co innovation .”

therefore , Myanpine thinks , future SAP Your focus may be on tradition SAP Areas that the solution cannot cover , for instance , How to use it SAPHANA Increase the output of the well ; How to use SAPHANA Analyze structured and unstructured data , So as to improve the product distribution capacity .

It is reported that ,SAP A digital development proposal will be issued for different industries , Point to digitalization or “ Internet +” What it means for the industry , And help customers achieve innovation with the attitude of a leader .

Menpin noticed , Many traditional enterprises in China are starting new business models , Enter a new business field , The system is required to meet the needs of each business line . He thinks that , This is also S/4HANA The advantage of , At present S/4HANA You can override 25 Industries ,SAP Hope through this 25 Industry solutions bring many industry best practices to Chinese enterprises , Let China enjoy out of the box solutions . Besides ,SAP We also hope to extract some common business practices , Promote in China , Even to the whole world .
