T REND N O . 2:
I NTELLIGENT A PPS AND A NALYTICS
Over the next few years every app, application and service will incorporate AI at
some level. AI will run unobtrusively in the background of many familiar application
categories while giving rise to entirely new ones. AI has become the next major
battleground in a wide range of software and service markets, including aspects of
ERP. “Challenge your packaged software and service providers to outline how they’ll
be using AI to add business value in new versions in the form of advanced analytics,
intelligent processes and advanced user experiences,” notes Cearley.
Intelligent apps also create a new intelligent intermediary layer between people and
systems and have the potential to transform the nature of work and the structure of
the workplace, as seen in virtual customer assistants and enterprise advisors and
assistants.
“Explore intelligent apps as a way of augmenting human activity, and not simply as
a way of replacing people,” says Cearley. Augmented analytics is a particularly
strategic growing area that uses machine learning for automating data preparation,
insight discovery and insight sharing for a broad range of business users,
operational workers and citizen data scientists.

KEY TAKE AWAYS

Create all operational reports in S/4 HANA using

FIORI or tools accessable in FIORI launchpad

Avoid development of classic ABAP reports in S/4

HANA if possible.

Start exploring and build knowledge in CDS
