​Innovate Like a Startup with SAP’s Business Technology Platform

According to a recent Global CEO study by the IBM Institute of Business Value, 56% of CEOs emphasize the need to aggressively pursue operational agility and flexibility. However, most midsize companies have complex technology landscapes and rigid systems which hold them back from being able to innovate quickly and cost-effectively. This makes it extremely difficult for them to respond appropriately to market changes and customer demands.

Automated Conversion and Data Migration to SAP S/4HANA

Improving user experience, getting real-time analytics and streamlining the technology landscape are just some of the key reasons why customers are choosing to move to SAP S/4HANA. A brownfield approach to converting from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA is generally straightforward, rapid and low risk, letting you keep your existing infrastructure and migrate your existing data. You take all your data with you to S/4HANA in the brownfield approach, but you may decide to archive some of your historical data prior to the migration.

IT Technology makes the journey of Avocado from Peru to China come true

According to the latest data, China imported 43,900 tons of avocado a year. In 2011, the number was only 31.8 tons. An increase of more than 1,000 times in 8 years surely make avocado a rising star in the Chinese fruit market.

To seize the huge market opportunities in China, Peru’s largest agribusiness and avocado grower Camposol urgently needs to improve its global operations capabilities through IT technology. Therefore, in its global system deployment plan, China’s localization has become a top priority.
