01:22 — A number of Klein’s comments support the point that 2024 is the year in which the intelligent enterprise’s full promise will be fulfilled by SAP. They’re incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) across their applications. They’re helping customers drive process excellence with SAP Signavio. Their S/4 HANA ERP cloud grew more than 80% throughout 2023. The company’s Business Technology Platform (BTP) has delivered huge benefits to customers and was up 40% throughout 2023. Their RISE and GROW programs have been hugely successful.
02:09 — All the forthcoming CEO Outlook analyses will follow a similar format: the exclusive video interview followed by the full-length analysis a little later that same day.
