The Urological Clinic of Heidelberg University Hospital is co-developing a prototype for software and business innovation in the operation room, together with DKFZ and SAP, Siemens Healthineers and mbits. This intelligent software and business platform consolidates process- and patient data of multiple sources in the operation environment. The SAP Cloud based platform is open and expandable and allows the integration of distinct medical devices and apps. A dashboard transmits all relevant information to the surgical team at the right time – a digital operation assistant, supporting the surgeon and enabling navigated precision surgery. The platform based business models offer market access even to small and mid-size companies.

“SAP No Boundaries” is an initiative designed to provide venture capital and acceleration support to underrepresented entrepreneurs in the business software industry – and is the first of its kind. It supports groups of B2B software entrepreneurs like women, who have historically received disproportionately less support than other groups. The startups receive tailored mentorship, workshops in pricing, sales, marketing, or design, access to SAP executives and customers and exposure to SAP technologies, including APIs. The team is closely collaborating with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring growth that is focused on value instead of volume. SAP.iO No Boundaries is one of eight finalists of the Hasso Plattner Founders' Award 2019.

Reduce processing times for complex cross-company invoices from three days to 20 minutes? It's possible with a new tool that was developed by Nicolas Neumann, finalist in the Hasso Plattner Founders' Award competition and part of SAP's “Autism at Work” program. Until now, the creation of complex cross-company invoices could take several days. The payables had to be processed manually and up to 20,000 line items taken into account. Nicolas, an accounts payable analyst at SAP, felt overwhelmed by the “tons” of material he had to process manually. At the same time, he identified a method that could automate the posting of complex cross-company invoices and began working on a solution. The tool simplifies accounting processes by structuring invoices automatically and transferring them directly to the ERP system.

Teams across SAP have developed a bot that automatically creates employment offer letters. The solution, which relies on robotic process automation, ensures potential employees get their employment offers faster and frees up HR employees to deal with higher-level tasks. RPA involves a software robot learning how to enter data in graphical user interfaces like a human. This makes it possible to automate a wide variety of repetitive tasks. Facilitated by the acquisition of Contextor at the end of 2018, SAP has had its own RPA solution in its portfolio since April – SAP Intelligent RPA.

The historical Slowenian town in a scenic bend of the River Krka is going through a digital revolution. To better use precious natural resources and enhance live quality and prosperity, the city is implementing a full smart city infrastructure. Together with SAP and partner Telekom Slovenia, Novo mesto installed sensors all over the city to gather data on all aspects of the environment from water usage and air pollution to the impact of light pollution caused by artificial light which alters natural conditions. The data are collected with SAP Leonardo and analyzed with SAP Analytics, all IoT platforms run on the SAP Cloud Platform. The data are used by the municipal government to make operational decisions and by citizens using mobile apps, for example, to find available parking spaces. “We realize that managing city resources is not just a job for the government. We have to help people make lifestyle changes,” says the deputy mayor, Bostjan Grobler. “It's not enough to motivate people to buy electric cars; we have to make sure they can easily park and recharge them.” Learn how real-time insights help cities provide better citizen experiences: https://www.sap.com/industries/smart-cities.html
