Thanks for the opportunity. 100% support the mission to move towards more flexible, service orientated and ideally event based architectures. But we have to widen the debate beyond “commerce” into composability and interoperability at the enterprise wide level - we have to think in terms of platforms and capabilities. Vue Storefront, Coveo, Contentful, Akeneo: The Product Experience Company as well as Pricefx and Mirakl are helping to extend and modernise the platforms of some of the worlds largest brands running on SAP. We are super proud to handle more than 1 Trillion in annual sales with #sapcommerce and serve 90% of the worlds largest enterprises with our #erp but by numbers most of our customers are mid-market. Thanks for pushing us and our customers into new horizons and being open to listening about the complexity and challenges enterprises large and small face with the adoption of #mach.

I write a lot about a better, gradual approach to eCommerce stack modernization these days, but these are all quite short forms (at least for now ^^) If you want to dig deeper into that topic and understand in depth how you can modernize your SAP CX Commerce Cloud safely and without re-platforming, check out this podcast episode with our CEO Patrick Friday, Dina Apostolou, VP of Brand Experience at Contentful and Pawel Wiacek, Global Head of CX Advisory at SAP 🚀

We (Gasp!) invited SAP to the MACH Alliance Haus... and it was a success! That's right, folks! We dared to break the mold and bring SAP to the MACH Haus, the home of all things modern in tech. But why, you ask? Because modernizing your ecommerce experience doesn't mean starting from scratch, ditching your legacy systems, or sacrificing SAP's power. The future lies in collaboration, and this NRF Podcast recap proves it! Join Patrick Friday, CEO of Vue Storefront, along with @Dina Apostolou from Contentful and Pawel Wiacek from SAP, as they debunk the myths around MACH and legacy systems. Learn: How to bridge MACH and SAP for a hybrid, powerful solution ▪ Why rip-and-replace is overrated for modernizing customer experiences ▪ Real-world examples of transforming legacy systems while keeping their value ▪ Expert advice on agile, step-by-step transformations with tools like Coveo, Contentful, and Vue Storefront ▪ Strategies for streamlined content delivery and enabling marketing teams to work independently from IT Whether you're an SAP user with outdated tech or simply curious about MACH, this podcast is for you!

And here we are—number ten on the list: Acumatica! 🎉 - Acumatica is mainly a product-centric solution (think manufacturing, distribution, retail—that's their bread and butter). - While they do dip into some service-centric areas, they’re still more comfortable in those product-focused verticals. But hey, you might still spot them in construction or field service too. (Acumatica likes to explore, apparently! 😉) - For pure-play service businesses with complex or mixed models, though, Acumatica might not always be the perfect fit. - Interesting note: they’ve just launched their PSA capabilities! So, they are making moves in the service-centric space. 📈 Have you tried balancing multiple business models with an ERP before? How did that go for you?

Don't let SAP downtime cost you millions: Join us at the Avantra Global Summit. In part 1 of a 2 part mini series for the Enterprise Thought Leadership podcast, our Chief Customer Officer Brenton O'Callaghan shares a story about one of the world's largest hotel chains. They were losing up to €1 million per hour due to SAP system downtime - affecting everything from booking rooms to ordering a meal at the hotel restaurant. Guests couldn't make reservations, services were delayed, and customers started choosing competitors. After implementing Avantra's observability solutions, they reduced downtime from over an hour each week to nearly zero - experiencing minimal disruptions only once every six months. The outcome? Substantial cost savings, an improved reputation, and increased guest satisfaction.

3 Mistakes No One Tells You About That Blocking Your Business Growth 1. You are Neglecting Personalization in SAP Commerce — Failing to tailor user experiences can lead to missed opportunities. For instance, like how Spotify curates playlists based on individual preferences, your SAP Commerce should offer a personalized journey for each user. 2. You are Underestimating the Power of SAP Emarsys in your Marketing — Not fully utilizing SAP Emarsys hampers your marketing potential. Consider this: just as Amazon suggests products based on user behavior, your marketing campaigns should be equally intuitive. 3. You are Overlooking the Efficiency of SAP Workflow Automation — Manual processes are time-consuming and error-prone. SAP Workflow Automation can streamline operations, much like how assembly lines revolutionized manufacturing. — Neglecting automation is like insisting on hand-delivering emails instead of using the efficiency of an automated system. Time is money, and automation saves both. #sap #sapcommercecloud #sapcommerce #sapcommunity #sapconsultant
