The global pandemic has accelerated the digital transformations of many businesses. For the tens of thousands of customers who run SAP, this has meant accelerating the migration of SAP workloads to the cloud as businesses seek greater agility, elasticity, uptime, and benefits from cutting edge cloud AI, ML, and analytics capabilities.

The retail industry is rapidly evolving, with customers demanding exceptional digital experiences, and retailers adjusting their businesses to be more efficient. With many retailers relying on SAP for critical business functions like digital transactions, finance, supply chains and more, this shift has led them to look for ways to modernize these systems, deliver them on highly scalable infrastructure, and extract more value out of the data from within them.

There's no doubt that data is the essential ingredient for business transformation across analytical and transactional applications. Once generated, it powers deeper AI-driven business insights, helps companies make better real-time decisions, and is also the basis for how companies build and run their data-driven applications.
