The “New Normal”: The Third Platform

1st – Mainframe and

terminals

2nd – LAN/Internet and

Client/Server and PCs, fueled

last 25 years of growth

3rd – Mobile, Social, Big

Data, and Cloud

New solutions will be built

upon this – and this is the

source of most of the new

growth we will experience

The “New Normal” and Gartner Perspective: The Nexus of

Forces

“The Nexus of Forces is

the convergence and

mutual reinforcement of

social, mobility, cloud,

and information patterns

that drive new business

scenarios. Although

these forces are

innovative and

disruptive on their own;

together they are

revolutionizing business

and society, disrupting

old business models and

creating new leaders.

The Nexus is the basis

of the technology

platform of the future.”

Opportunities & Project Considerations: Cloud Computing

Utilize or build upon cloud technologies to

create business-relevant functionality

Collaboration tools and integration are key to

simplifying processes

Mobility is a key argument for and a driver of

cloud solutions

Big data is synergistic with the cloud – much

of the use of big data originates in the cloud

Digital marketing & Cloud integration is key

to making this happen

Cloud computing is transforming the way

that application testing is performed –

testing as a service (TaaS?)

Think about the business need and stress

how cloud helps you deliver against those

needs more effectively Source: PAC 2013

“Cloud computing is a game-

changing concept (and) is

really a way of provisioning

and using technology, not a

technology in itself!”

Opportunities & Project Considerations: Mobile Solutions

Develop a mobility strategy across your

company and the organization

Address the three critical components: the

mobile workplace, device management, and

processes and the integration with back-end

systems

Embrace enterprise Mobility solutions that

are strongly influenced by consumer trends:

consumer-like usability, rapid speed of

innovation, and quick time-to-market

Invest in and focus upon unified mobility

projects

The “New Normal”: Social Media and Social Marketing

Metcalfe’s Law: the value of a

network is proportional to the square

of the number of connected users (a

network’s value grows exponentially)

A variation known as Reed’s Law speaks specifically to the utility

obtained from scaling social

networks

Pull Marketing versus Push

Best Practices: Learn, Observe,

Listen, Jump in, and Actively

Participate

Blurs the line between work and

private life; get used to it, it’s not

going away!

“Chief Marketing Officers say social media

spending as a percentage of marketing

budgets will more than double over the

next 5 years”

Making Sense of Marketing Technology and the

Rise of the Digital CMO

“The CMO is expected to

spend more on technology

than the CIO by 2017”

– Gartner 2013

“Gartner predicted that by

2017, the CMO’s technology

budget will exceed the

CIO’s. Why? Because more

often than not, it’s the CMO

who is expected to drive this

digital transformation, which

is deeply dependent on

technology.”

– Harvard Business Review

2013

Opportunities & Project Considerations: Social Media and

Digital Transformation

Embrace key enabling technologies: Cloud,

Big Data/Analytics, Mobility, Social Media,

and the ubiquitous Internet

Enable the user/customer experience: Digital

products & services, digital sales and

Drive a transformation of your Business &

Technology Strategy and build a culture of

innovation, participation, and collaboration

Enable collaboration across the enterprise

and beyond traditional enterprise borders

Become a strategic partner for the digital

transformation process and maintain

relevance by jumping in & supporting it

comes not from implementing new

technologies, but from transforming

your organization to take

advantage of the possibilities that

new technologies provide.”

Germany Wins 2014 World Cup – Assisted by Big Data

German soccer team partnered

with SAP to create custom match

analysis tool to collect & analyze

massive amounts of player

performance data

Match Insights analyzes video

data from on-field cameras

capable of capturing thousands of

data points per second, including

player position and speed

Data then goes into an SAP

database that runs analytics and

allows coaches to target

performance metrics for specific

players and give them feedback

via their mobile devices

SAP and the

Transition to the Third Platform

“SAP, in its 40-year history, has made the journey

from the 1st Platform (mainframes) to the 2nd

Platform (client/server) and is laying the groundwork

to shift to the 3rd Platform. SAP now delivers a

growing portfolio of 3rd Platform applications. In

support of these offerings, SAP also provides a set of

targeted, fixed-priced, and scoped packages called

SAP Rapid Deployment Solutions to address the

challenges for organizations in transitioning to the 3rd

Platform.”

Customer Successes What Customers Are Saying About Pre-Assembly Services

“ This is an outstanding example of execution and innovation in the midst of extreme financial pressures. Not only

did SAP Value Prototyping innovate with a great new product, but you also innovated the ‘How’ it gets done. ”

Executive Board Member, Hewlett Packard, USA

“ I thought achieving a common purchasing process was impossible, and the biggest challenge was to change the

minds of our business users. SAP Value Prototyping succeeded in doing so and therefore did what we couldn‘t achieve ourselves. ”

IT Executive, Sumitomo Metal, Japan

“ What we achieve typically in 7 to 12 months during our classical approach, we were able to realize during a 2-day

Envision Workshop in Walldorf. ”

IT Senior Executive, Diageo, UK

“ With the Value Prototyping approach, the project was 3 times faster and 5 times cheaper than with the

classical approach. ”

Supply Chain Executive, Lego, Denmark

“ A pre-assembled rapid-deployment solution gave us a very good head start for adopting the SAP solutions we

needed … Based on our requirements, we were able to get our hands on a tried, tested, and well-documented

solution that will now help finalizing our implementation project. This rapid-deployment solution saved as quite some time right from the beginning. ”

Carsten Trapp, CIO and member of the Management Board, SICK AG

“ No time is needed to prepare the environment, and templates are ready to use. No waste. Also, by showing the

solution to end users, the business is clear about what it will get, and this reduces risks. ”

7 Key Points to Take Home

The “New Normal” and Innovations and the overall combination of these

innovations is the foundation for the future

You must think differently and address a new scale of users, devices,

applications, and data & content in a whole new way

The Line of Business (LOB) is key to the future – witness the growth in

technology for marketing

Look to SAP for key examples and attend key events such as SAPinsider,

SAPPHIRE NOW/ASUG, and TechED to learn and experience more

Address the confluence of business and technology outcomes in your

projects and key initiatives

Live next generation solutions, embrace mobility, experience big data

through one of the many “sandbox” environments, and grow team

collaboration with cloud-based tools/solutions

It’s a great time in the industry and our careers to work with SAP solutions
