ABeam Consulting joins forces with SAP, collaborating to empower the business sector with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition

With the swift progress of technology in the digital era, the Cloud System has become increasingly vital in the business sector. It enhances success rates for organizations, especially in the realm of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), ensuring efficient and seamless backend operations.  

Recently, ABeam Consulting (Thailand) Co., Ltd., one of the world's leading consulting firms specializing in integrated digital transformation, together with SAP (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a globally renowned enterprise software solution leader, organized a comprehensive workshop titled “Leveraging the Power of Cloud ERP: Transforming Your Business for Success with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition” The objective is to enhance business success through the utilization of SAP S/4HANA cloud, public edition, which is an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system accessible on the public cloud. The system facilitates the efficient management of the company’s resource planning systems and is designed to drive future business growth.

Ms. Supreeda Jirawongsri, Deputy Managing Director and Head of the Digital Competency Group, ABeam Consulting (Thailand) Co., Ltd., said: “Since the year 2000, it has been observed that 52% of the Fortune 500 companies have ceased their business operation due to digital disruption. In light of this, companies must adapt to avoid exclusion in an increasingly competitive landscape. The Cloud ERP market is anticipated to experience exponential growth, at least doubling, as a crucial tool to help businesses navigate the digital disruption enabling them to achieve digital transformation and foster innovation.”

In addition to establishing a market presence for businesses, an effective Public Cloud ERP system should function as an optimal platform capable of adapting to evolving user behavior over time. This entails transforming into Smart Multi-Device Experiences that facilitate access anywhere across various devices and adjusting display formats to suit specific interfaces. This system should be accessible from any device, allowing seamless switching. Beyond basic functionalities, it should also provide real-time analytic reports to ensure continuity, accuracy, and prompt decision-making.  

Ms. Kanyarat Pornwishulada, Senior Manager of Sales & Logistics, ABeam Consulting (Thailand) Co., Ltd., highlighted the importance of considering the following 8 factors should be taken into account when selecting a Cloud ERP system:

3. Flexibility: The system should be flexible and capable of optimizing functions or providing reports that align with user needs. 
4. Innovation: It should introduce innovations and accommodate unprecedented needs to enhance user experiences.
5. Security & Compliance: The system should be secure, adhering to concise and comprehensive terms and regulations. 
6. Integration & Extensibility: It should be able to connect and support other systems currently in use to ensure smooth connectivity between the existing systems and the Cloud ERP. 
7. Total cost of ownership: It should be cost-effective for entrepreneurs who need to consider functional benefits versus investment budgets. 
8. Real Partner:  The system should partner with reliable experts and specialists who can provide advice and support to maximize its usage and benefit the business.”
