The SAP and Workday spots are good illustrations of the
changes happening to businesses everywhere.
Today’s ever increasing demands for better, faster
customer service, cost efficiency, shortened delivery times of products or
services, need of qualified workers, increased product requests are changing
the strategy or systems companies are implementing in order to survive in this
global economy. Both SAP and Workday clearly emphasize the importance of a
centrally located database or system that can deliver real time, accurate data.
Workday focuses more on the system’s ability to adapt, grow and change with the
business by being global, mobile, cloud based, easy to implement and allow for
quick delivery of real time data. It is important to note that it equates the HR
and Financial systems of a company to the “heart of the business”. The SAP (also
known as Enterprise, Resource and Planning, ERP) commercial focused more on the
organizational structure of a business as a whole. The SAP commercial focuses
on simplification and its attributes. It promises that simplification of the
operation of a business will avoid problems, allow to retrieve answers in
seconds increase value and identify missed opportunities. Their tag “Run Simple”
conjures up their promise of clear, focused and reliable data management as the
cure all for all businesses.
Adaptability, access to real time data
and mobility are indispensable to future success, but centralization is key! Let's see what else technology will help facilitate.
