SAP’s Business Network North Star vision is to become a modern, many to many network, connecting people, enterprises and business processes intelligently to foster collaboration and grow business

sustainably. As the world’s largest business-to-business collaboration platform, SAP Business Network facilitates over $5.3 trillion in commerce annually across more than 746 million transactions, capturing a unified, end-to-end view of spend. Over the next few years, we are building a collaboration application platform for trading partners (buyers and sellers) which offers:

      • One common directory of robust trading partner data… from who you are and what you sell, to all

         your daily transactions to keep your business running.

      • A central place that adapts to you and your trading partner needs… find, be found, and transact

        seamlessly.

      • And the ability to connect and collaborate on any business process. The ones you have today and

        how your business will evolve.

 

How we will drive value through the network is to:

      • Improve efficiency… help trading partners seamlessly communicate and transact.

      • Grow outcomes… help trading partners grow their business by finding new customers or suppliers.

      • Increase resiliency… counter disruption by improving supply chain transparency and mitigating risk.

 

When we deliver on these value drivers, we expect to grow our customer base and double the revenue we generate by 2026. We are in the early phases of delivering on this vision and are in the process of a replatform, a redesign and a mindset shift focused on user experience to make it a reality.
