What makes a business an SAP Intelligent Enterprise? Find out how a digital transformation can drive success.
With rapidly changing technology available, the possibilities are endless for companies to advance. Companies that lead their industry are ones that consistently deliver the best possible experiences for their customers and their workforce.
You can bring your business up to that level in the experience economy by focusing on the use of operational and experience data, i.e. an intelligent enterprise strategy.
To put it simply, the intelligent enterprise is a strategy that uses the latest technologies to turn data into insights and, finally, into action across the business. Emerging technologies such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and IoT enables businesses to innovate, optimize experience, and automate processes.
With this strategy, your company can be more agile in a fast-moving environment and have a higher chance for sustainable growth. Well, how do you get started?
First, understand that an intelligent enterprise is not a product that you can buy and then implement. It’s an approach powered by the latest technology that your company takes on to become an intelligent enterprise.

Operational data is the “what” of business data, like transactions, which are collected from day-to-day processes. Businesses look to experience data, the “why,” and collected from stakeholder sentiments, to gain insights and predict demand. The intelligent technology brings operational and experience data to deliver powerful business outcomes.
SAP offers a portfolio of enterprise software that can links those components by connecting experience and operations with intelligent technology. The architecture of an intelligent enterprise comprises of:
With the new possibilities offered by an intelligent enterprise, your company can redefine the end-to end customer experience, increase productivity, and transform workplace engagement among employees.

This digital transformation journey starts with defining your business goals across the entire organization with the customer experience at the forefront.
Depending on your industry, your business outcomes can vary greatly. The common link between industries, however, is the focus on customer experience that truly delivers value across organizations.
