WALLDORF — SAP today announced continued momentum for industry cloud solution portfolio strategy, with three industries added: retail, professional services and industrial machinery and components (IM&C).
SAP’s goal is to deliver innovative, vertical solutions from SAP and partners that help customers meet industry-specific needs and optimize end-to-end processes, helping them gain a competitive edge. The announcement in June covered four industries: utilities, automotive, consumer products and engineering, construction and operations.
SAP customers are starting to adopt these new industry cloud solutions. Read how they are benefiting from industry cloud solutions to support business objectives.
Delivering Good
“As we continue fulfilling the mission of Delivering Good by connecting companies in the fashion, home and children’s merchandise industries with our network of community partners that are helping people in need, we are seeing unprecedented demand for our service. We chose to work with SAP due to the company’s market presence in retail and its history of giving back to both communities in need and the industry. We are using SAP’s industry cloud solutions for the retail industry to identify and validate nonprofit organizations that are committed to serving people affected by COVID-19, homelessness, natural disasters, poverty and other challenges. The system allows us to match community partners with our donors more quickly and efficiently so we can better serve those in need and help the world’s best brands make a positive impact on people’s lives.”
– Lisa Gurwitch, president and CEO,

PWC
“We chose Replicon as our go-forward partner to provide frontline practitioners with a powerful, flexible and easy-to-use time capture capability. Not simply because Replicon has more advanced features and user experience beyond that we have seen from others in this space, but because the company share our vision and desire to ultimately transform the whole concept of revenue based time capture from traditional inputs to simply automate and review. Once deployed later this year, in conjunction with the certified integration of SAP S/4HANA, it will provide us with a single source of truth for project time, allowing better engagement management and ultimately accurate billing. We are delighted that Replicon and SAP are collaborating as part of the industry cloud for professional services.”
