“ SAP invented the system of record for finance and is now doing the same for carbon accounting ”

ERIC VAN ROSSUM CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER , CLOUD ERP , SAP
New ERP software can be difficult to adopt and complex to navigate for inexperienced users . This is especially the case with midsized companies , where business professionals are often less specialized and therefore more likely to act in multiple roles .
SAP ’ s AI copilot Joule , which is available in SAP S / 4HANA Cloud Public Edition , revolutionises the way users interact with their SAP system , making every touchpoint count and every task simpler . With Joule , business users can onboard faster and increase day-to-day productivity .
This year , SAP will release Joule capabilities for :
• Situation handling
• Role-based transactional content
• Conversational search
• Navigating business processes across sales , finance , procurement , and professional services .
More information will be available at upcoming SAP Sapphire events in Orlando , Barcelona , and virtually .
SAP is also supporting businesses with their sustainability efforts in a major way .
“ As the company that invented the system of record for finance ,” Eric explains , “ We ’ re now creating the system of record for carbon accounting . We have a growing portfolio of groundbreaking solutions that support businesses with their sustainability goals , moving from estimates to actuals , all aligned to their financials .”
As Environment , Social , and Governance ( ESG ) reporting requirements continue to evolve , there ’ s urgency for companies to comply and ensure the completeness , accuracy , and auditability
