Webinar: „How SAP Makes the Vision to Autonomous Procurement Come True”

- Central European Time (CET)

Online

Let's talk about a real old-school topic! "Old-school"? Well, it is more than 50 years ago, when Stanley Kubrick's movie '2001 - A Space Odyssey' entered the movie theatres. One of the main characters was an autonomous intelligence called 'HAL 9000'. So, why are we even talking about such a vintage topic? With a twinkle in the eye, our answer is: Because our longstanding companion Rolf Weiland presents SAP's precise roadmap to create autonomous procurement prosesses for your business!

In this webinar, you will be informed about…

  • …SAP’s roadmap from digital over intelligent and automated to autonomous procurement.
  • …how your business can benefit from technologies like Machine Learning, Robotic Process Automation or Blockchain.
  • …the top use cases prioritized for 2020+.

 

PS: Short competition: Where does 'HAL' in the name HAL 9000 come from? The winner receives a selection of finest nuts in a box in apsolut design! Googling does not apply. The solving will be announced at the end of the webinar.

Speakers:

Rolf Weiland, Vice President & Chief Solution Architect at SAP Center of Excellence for Spend Management

 

Christoph Menne, Partner at apsolut Group

Webinar: Shaping transformation instead of suffering it

There will be no fireworks in this webinar with Oliver Sowa, Managing Director of the Beutlhauser Group. No low-hanging fruit will be picked. Instead, we will offer hints on how managers can actively support transformations, rather than impeding them from above. This is likely to be extremely interesting.
