#7 Digital Business Planning in the Intelligent Enterprise: Plan with visibility across silos
To be more responsive and reduce the time of planning cycles, organizations need to connect across departmental silos for a unified view of real-time supply and demand that helps balance inventory and service levels. To speed planning cycles and react faster to change, planners want synchronized planning processes that break down silos and tools to quickly run simulations for better decision-making.
SAP is uniquely positioned to help companies achieve a much higher degree of business performance by digitally linking strategic and operational supply chain planning with real-time visibility, response and execution. Embedded optimization of resources and inventories across the supply chain not only decrease working capital but enable a much more sustainable operation.
Infused with self-learning technologies it shortens decision making time and enables a more touchless supply chain which is the foundation to the Intelligent Enterprise.

#33 IBP Pricing
Simplification & standardization: reduce the number of SKU’s and the number of exceptions and special rules with regards to pricing IBP.
Focus: sell the value of IBP instead of focusing on tenants and HANA memory sizing, for example
General Business: new pricing is for both LE and GB (single model, single set of SKU’s)
Maturity and scale: the economies of scale now that IBP has over 600 customers allows us to update the pricing based on our actual operations over the past 4 years; plus, new technologies and efficiencies have lowered the total cost to provide the IBP cloud service to our customers
Profitability: enables us to continue to invest in the solution and maintain our leadership position in the market
Operational Excellence
Data center expansion: In 2018-2019, new DC’s launched in Dubai (UAE), Frankfurt (Germany), Riyadh (KSA) and Tokyo (Japan). New DC planned for Q4 2019 in Colorado Springs (USA).
System Availability: In 2019, 99.87% or higher average availability for every month through August; 99.89% yearly (12-month) running average as of August 2019
Upgrades: Average upgrade runtime 350 min. w/IBP release 1808, reduced to 269 min. w/IBP release 1908. All 3 upgrade waves completed in < 10 hours (1,149 systems); 91.9% of systems < 6 hours. Reschedule requests down 54.5% from 99 for 1811 to 45 for 1908.
Hyper-Scalers
Planned for AliCloud, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure, with target availability Q2 2020. Project already started for Google Cloud Platform, and about to start for Alibaba Cloud.
Current intention is that using Hyper-Scalers for IBP deployment will be an SAP “back end” decision, and not a commercial option or decision by the customer.
