Technology and business leaders today met at the SAP Innovation Day in Johannesburg to discuss how businesses can shift away from stagnation and ignite a new wave of innovation and growth to drive their success. In her opening remarks, SAP Southern Africa Managing Director, Kholiwe Makhohliso, said: “The vital question for African enterprises is: how can we transition from merely keeping the lights on to building a competitive edge, despite economic headwinds? “Business AI is gaining traction throughout the continent thanks to a growing list of practical applications that help companies solve challenges, accelerate innovation and drive greater efficiency. This is helping African organisations transform how they do business, how they interact with their employees and how they engage with customers,” Pekeur said. “Companies that leverage SAP S/4HANA Cloud integrated with our Business Technology Platform have a strong foundation for AI-driven innovation.
