If there’s one thing that has been constant since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, it’s change. From supply chain disruptions to increased demand for external workforce, from setting up our customers for success to delivering seamless end-to-end customer experience, from re-thinking the way companies conducted business to the way employees chose to work; many things changed overnight, and we still continue to feel the impact. Alongside, technologies also evolved and became more reliant for businesses to ensure business continuity. Keep up with our evolving technologies to manage your business, customers, suppliers, and people to deliver the outcome you need and grow your business as the economy continues to recover. Our networks, solutions, and processes are intelligent, innovative, and simple. Our customer-centric and people-focused strategy enables better control of the spend and provides visibility combined with delivering best-in-class user experience, capabilities, and insights.

In SAP TechEd 2021 Intelligent Suite Solutions and Processes Track, we have our experts bringing you some of the best resources and information that can help you make intelligent decisions. We have demos to show you how to actually use our app, use cases of some of the best examples of our apps and technology and we also provide you an opportunity to get any question you may have clarified.
