SAP has announced its financial results for Q4 and full year 2023 🗣️ CEO and executive board member of SAP Christian Klein states: 'From a very strong position, we’re starting our next chapter and intensifying our investment in strategic growth areas, above all Business AI. Our transformation program will also have a restructuring component, with a focus on reskilling and voluntary exits. This was by no means an easy decision. But we truly believe it is the right next step. We’re setting up SAP for a strong, competitive future that all stakeholders, including our people, will benefit from.'

Great short summary of SAP BOD structure moving forward. New Chair brings operational and new tech - AI- focus while letting day to day leaders, well- lead.

Just returned from the Nordic SAP kickoff, marking my first anniversary with SAP. The energy and momentum here are palpable, and it's even more rewarding being part of the team that overcame the challenges and became #1 in the Nordics, led by Mikkel Stavnsbo and for the BTS team for EMEA too, neck to neck with Benelux. A shoutout to my colleague for their commendable efforts! Some highlights. This year, we've successfully implemented 55 projects in the Nordics, a testament to our dynamic approach and commitment to excellence, more than one pr. week. Our shift towards RISE deals represents a significant milestone, indicating our adaptability and forward-thinking strategy, but also, that customers see and acknowledge our skills, to run SAP for them. The addition of 100 new developers daily to BTP underscores our position as a leader in the tech industry. This raises the question: why BTP, because that where you build your completive edge on top of clean core? Additional, the answer lies in SAP's continuous investment in innovation and improvement, evidenced by our €2 billion expenditure on R&D since S/4HANA's inception in 2014. We're committed to staying ahead and supporting our clients through this journey. The introduction of the Green Ledger is a game-changer, poised to revolutionize business models by aligning consumer behavior with environmental sustainability. This shift encourages companies to compete on eco-friendliness, a critical factor in today's market. As Jesper Schleimann shared, its changes your business models. AI is set to revolutionize customer support & ways of executing, heralding the biggest shift in productivity. We've been optimizing supply chains for the past decade, and the efficiency gains we're about to achieve in the next two years will match those of the last ten, benefiting customers while challenging logistics. The application of AI must be contextual, backed by the trust of both the company and its customers. It's essential to transparently label AI-supported decisions to maintain this trust. SAP is a leader in transparency of AI. As of today - this morning, 300 million people have logged into an SAP system, and 750 million have utilized data powered by SAP. This widespread use highlights the extensive impact and reach of our solutions across the globe. That obligates for best run, every day, and that's what we stride to everyday, all of us. Amazing event, amazing energy. One year ahead, exiting what that brings.

The journey has started and grounded on solid principles and thinking.

It's all about the people, and that not only on #SAP's #PeopleExperienceDay: - No successful business without people. - No strategy works without its people. - No innovation without people.   With People Experience Day, we celebrate the incredible teamwork at SAP and the culture that shapes our thriving workplace. We're a global team that values people, innovation, and excellence. We have a powerful community of SAP experts, alumni, trustful partners, and loyal customers. This is SAP. This is what shapes our culture of openness, innovation, and our life at SAP.
