Enterprises are witnessing a new horizon of business possibilities, which is innovatively being coined as “new age digital transformation” in order to increase, secure and consolidate growth.

In this evolving digital ecosystem, businesses need to have preparedness to grab the new opportunities. For instances, we have witnessed how Smartphones have disrupted multiple industries. Instances of online shopping portals selling thousands of mobile handsets in few seconds, amplifies the need and planning of B2C strategies but also B2B procurement, sales and entire supply chain strategy as an example. Both B2C and B2B customers are getting exposed to a completely new and enhance experience and therefore enterprises have to keep their Customers at the center of their Business and IT strategy.

The SAP HANA Enabler: Power to Act Immediately 
1. A bank is able to see that one of its customers is seeking to withdraw funds from an ATM but has no available balance. It can now profile her immediately and make an immediate overdraft offer.
2. A Telco sees that a customer’s usage pattern has declined but he is making more overseas calls. It is able to profile his calling patterns and offer a more appropriate tariff before he is targeted by a competitor.
3. A healthcare organization is able to see emerging trends and create new premium structures that are more competitive, targeting smaller groups, without risking a loss of margin.
4. A retailer can deliver sales promotions that not only match the customer’s needs but also reflect recent changes in the supply chain that have created a new high profit opportunity.
5. A utility provider can provide customers with detailed consumption patterns and use them to structure a compelling charging model that is instantly matched to the utility’s resourcing plans.
