Editor's note
Sustainability and the supply chain are two topics that have gone beyond boardrooms to affect consumers' everyday lives, and they were at the forefront of SAP's nine-city Sapphire Now 2022 conference.
Environmental sustainability remains a major focus for SAP, as the company spotlights its sustainability tools and builds partnerships with consulting firms that help businesses with their own initiatives. Meanwhile, SAP continues to push Industry Cloud, partnering with system integrators to provide software and services that meet the needs of industries like construction, automotive and retail. SAP also continues in its attempt to attract users to its other cloud products.
S/4HANA migration remains a perennial hot topic, and the company has recently placed its Rise with SAP migration service front and center. These offerings have been among the hot topics at Sapphire Now 2022.
