SAP Business Network

 

The global economy has been rapidly evolving from enterprise-centric to network-centric. No enterprise does business alone today. Buyers, Suppliers, Service Providers, Contract Manufacturers, Logistics professionals – companies today rely heavily on their connections to their extended ecosystem to operate effectively. They need an intelligent and open network that delivers enhanced visibility, greater efficiency, and improved collaboration to achieve supply chain resilience and thrive in the face of disruption.

 

SAP already "owns" the largest Procurement Network in the world and SAP’s global operations and footprint in large enterprises allow us to leverage a network effect with our massive installed base. We will win with our unified strategy, instead of siloed networks, a “best-of-suite” approach – a “network-of-networks” that includes partners and brings together existing best of breed solutions like Asset Intelligence Network, Logistics Business Network, as well as Direct and Indirect Procurement Networks into a multi-enterprise Unified Business Network.

 

SAP Business Network (SBN) has been identified as one of the strategic growth areas for SAP. Our vision is to elevate our intelligent enterprise to the “Network of Intelligent Enterprises”. We build on a strong and leading cloud portfolio, together with other innovations, all on top of the SAP Business Technology Platform. In our diverse and globally dispersed team, we are looking for a Head of Product Management for SBN Applications who can bring a unique perspective, innovative ideas, and a proven track record of success in strategic partnership management to help us achieve our ambitious goals.
