Fiori Digitization: Overcoming Challenges in the 2021 SAP EnvironmentIQX Business Solutions
How your ABAP developers and SAP Functional consultants can be the driving force to sustainable Fiori apps and digitization. Includes a Fiori development checklist.
You run SAP as your core Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, but your most important business decisions – where to invest for the future – are currently managed and controlled outside the system. You are aware that SAP Investment Management (SAP IM) provides a good foundation of master data and transactional capabilities – so why is this functionality not being effectively utilized? In this blog we discuss why many organizations have not adopted SAP IM, the drivers of change, your technical options, and propose a future-proof, SAP-centric solution approach.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

2. Lack of Integrated Financial Processes Hindered Global Growth
StreamServe was lacking an integrated finance solution to allow them
to expand and keep pace with global growth. As license-driven software
company that also has consulting services connected to their software,
StreamServe’s three main sources of revenue included software licenses,
professional services consulting and training, and product maintenance and
support. Its current revenue recognition process was complicated, manual-
based, and reliant on spreadsheets.
In order to achieve more uniform revenue recognition processes across the
company, StreamServe opted to implement an ERP platform that would
support global financial processes across the corporate headquarters in
the U.S. and Sweden, and subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Denmark,
Norway, Finland, Germany, France, Singapore, and the Netherlands. In
particular, it was necessary to automate general ledger, fixed assets, sales
and receivables, and purchases and payables that supported local and U.S.
GAAP rules for these countries.
StreamServe required that the new ERP system be fully integrated with
its preferred customer relationship management tool, Salesforce, so that
all customer and licensing data would be generated in Salesforce and then
transferred to the ERP system for customer invoicing. A large percentage
of StreamServe’s business was generated via partners, and support for
invoicing to partners was equally important while selecting the appropriate
solution for their business needs.
TechOne Implementation Delivered Solid Foundation
for Growth
TechOne, an SAP Business All-in-One solution from YASH Technologies, was
selected as StreamServe’s new ERP platform, as it was the best fit for their
required business processes and functionality around revenue recognition.
Based on industry-specific best practices, TechOne is designed specifically
for high-tech software providers and offered benefits of a single platform
with easy integration into Salesforce and other enterprise applications.
A major impetus for selecting YASH was their streamlined approach to
rapid implementations. YASH utilized a proprietary methodology, S-Imple
(Streamlined Implementations) that is based on Scrum principles to
deliver a comprehensive set of commonly used business functionality with
little or no customization required. The S-Imple methodology used SAP
best practices and focused on data cleansing, conversion, and design by
exception rule, knowledge transfer and end-user learning, which allowed
StreamServe to realize substantial project savings.
With TechOne, StreamServe would have an open architecture to
enable integration with other business process driven systems in the IT
environment, such as PSA Change Point and OCRA that would support
multiple countries in one single database.
3. The nine-month TechOne implementation included:
SAP Financials:
▪▪ New General Ledger
▪▪ Accounts Payable for payments in Sweden and The Netherlands
▪▪ Accounts Receivable—item interest calculation along with printing of
interest invoice
▪▪ Fixed Asset Accounting
▪▪ Cost Center Accounting
▪▪ Profit Center Accounting
▪▪ Integration with StreamServe printing solution for inter-company
invoices, credit memos, interest invoices, and U.S. accounts payable
check printing
SAP Sales and Distribution:
▪▪ Interface from Salesforce for license revenues
▪▪ Interface from Change Point for services revenues
▪▪ Revenue recognition functionality for deferred revenue on product
maintenance agreements
YASH performed some custom development that was unique to StreamServe
that included developing an interface to OCRA for legal consolidations,
personalizing all output forms, and developing 20 reports to support
regulatory compliance and internal reporting measures. The Euro Value-
added Tax (VAT) was a sales tax specific to the EU with guidelines changing
every two years. YASH configured the new VAT rules in the ERP system to
decrease the amount of manual intervention StreamServe might be required
to perform post-implementation.
Localization of Country-Specific Functionality Was
Important Element
StreamServe’s corporate language was English, but localization of
relevant subsidiary countries’ languages was an important aspect of the
implementation. YASH performed localization activities so that end-users
would be able to log-on and use SAP in their respective languages of Czech,
German, French and Dutch.
YASH designed an exchange rates upload program with an intuitive layout
that included international and local settings for currencies and different
date formats. Local currency codes for the Czech Krona, Euro, British
Pound, Swedish Krona, Singapore Dollar, and the US Dollar were built in
with the capability to keep the historic data of the exchange rates.
In addition, France had country-specific reporting needs for SAP Financials
and country-specific formats for SAP Sales and Distribution.
