SAP’s global Rail Asset Management (RAM) Customer Value Network activities concluded yesterday (2 December 2021) with the second online event for 2021. COVID was the cause that RAM 2021 was online as opposed to an annual in-person meeting. We keep our fingers crossed that we will be able to meet in person in 2022.
The event was well attended by 75 plus participants with representation from leading rail asset managers. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to help plan and facilitate the event. A big thank you to Orianda and Rizing for continued support to make RAM a great a great success.
The event focus was to showcase rail asset management digital transformation perspectives related to renovation of core solutions and industrialization of innovation. Agenda items, visualized below, included learnings and value of SAP S/4HANA Asset Management migration projects and new innovative SAP Industry Cloud partner solutions.
A quick summary of key agenda items follows below:
The event shared SAP S/4HANA transformation perspectives and important SAP Industry Cloud focus areas and solutions with customers. I am specifically looking for companies to engage with around the following: 1) Visual Intelligence, 2) Reliability / Risk Based Inspection, 3) Collaborative Data Environment / Federated Digital Twin, 4) Interest to join Intelligent Asset Management Special Interest Group chaired by Urs Gehring form SBB. Please contact me if need more information on topics presented or want to connect about the focus areas I noted.
Please feel free to interact, respond, provide feedback and share your perspectives in the comments section.
The solution management team for Travel and Transportation wants to thank all customers and partners who contributed to make this event a great success. We are looking forward to connecting again in 2022.
