The Mining Industry and Digital Transformation
Mine Smarter Not Harder
Almost everyone pictures miners as hard working men, carrying a pick over the shoulder and wearing a hard hat in a dangerous work environment. It is time to rethink this picture. The mining industry is going through a huge transformation into the digital age. More miners are becoming knowledge workers, and their work environment is becoming more safe.
Some miners are wearing bionic jackets with sensors that trigger alerts for dangerous levels in gas, seismic shifts or other kinds of factors. These new technologies integrate with systems that mine the data, which up until now was unused, and help make mining more predictable.
SAP supports the entire mining industry value chain

Retail. Reimagined For The New Economy
The new economy is disrupting and changing the rules of retail
For retail to get the most out of the new economy, it needs to run simple.
Running simple means reimagining business models based on real insights, not trends. It’s serving customers, not just your process. It’s when technology works for you and your customers, instead of the other way around.
Digitally armed customers expect a new type of experience: one that is frictionless, where technology is invisible and always present and commerce just happens in the moment, anytime, and anywhere.
New competitors are emerging every day – ready to answer those needs with fully digital strategies, simple consumer experiences, and innovative business models. Competition is coming from unexpected areas such as search engines, social networks, telecommunication, and banks. Every industry that touches the consumer is trying to get a piece of the same business.
While it is true that the fast rise of digital is creating uncertainties and new winners and losers, leaders realize that it also offers great opportunities.
To thrive in a climate of unprecedented innovation, businesses must reimagine themselves as living systems. Retailers can sense, respond, learn, adapt, and predict customer and business needs in the moment with SAP’s transformational digital solutions.
