After investing heavily in SAP S/4HANA as its core ERP foundation, Damen is now focused on applying SAP Business AI to extend the impact of that platform.
“We really would like to harvest the business value of that initial investment,” said Han Coenraad, product manager ERP at Damen. “We use AI, especially in our operational processes, to get things running more smoothly and support more data-driven decision-making.”
