"We are employees of companies that serve customers who instantly demand what they dream about!"

In the opening speech of the event itelligence Turkey and MENA CEO Dr Bahri Danış explained what happened during the pandemic period, which he described as "Life turned upside down, everything was reset". Dr Bahri Danış continued: “Call it the new normal or the new close. It is clear that we are in a new world now. All of this was perhaps the wake-up alarm that goes off on the morning of the day that will take us to a brand new future.”

Stating that they designed itelliDay 2020 to discuss the algorithms of this new world together with the leaders of the business world, Dr Bahri Danış said, “We could not imagine that the concept that came to the fore in this period would have this speed, if we listened to what we have experienced in the last 8-9 months under normal conditions it would sound like a fairy tale. Yet change came at an incredible pace. Internet order that comes with a click at home has made a lightning-fast logistics operation mandatory. Those who could not keep up with this pace were pushed out of the picture by the customer. That's why projects that used to take 1-2 years were brought live within months or even weeks. What it means for companies to be durable and to find solutions without being daunted has been redefined. It seems that those who are not resilient both financially and operationally will no longer be players of this new world. Speed, endurance, agility, leadership ... We talked about these a lot, and we will continue to talk for many years. Because what's redefining all this is actually the revolution in experience. We are in a period where people who have never known the Internet before are shopping online. We are now employees of companies that serve customers who instantly demand what they dream of. "We now have to provide the customer experience that we always talk about but perhaps feel for the first time.”

"Those who use advanced end-to-end technologies in their business processes catch the future from today!"

Noting that future generations will suffer the speeches in today's world began to take shape from SAP Turkey General Manager Uğur Candan, this change was evaluated in 3 groups: "Of course, first and foremost employees. In the past, we were looking for candidates who do their job best, now we ask what competencies you have in solving tomorrow's business problems. The second part of the change is supply chains. With Covid-19, it turned out that large producers should distribute their production to different geographies to manage risk. This, in turn, comes to the moment when our producers can bring more share from the supply chain in the world to Turkey. Customers take the third place. In the experience economy, the priority of institutions has become to provide the most accurate service under the right conditions beyond offering the product to their customers. Consequently, by considering all these changes; Using advanced technologies from end-to-end in all business processes from production planning to human resources, from warehouse management to logistics, organizations can turn time into value and thus get ahead in the competition by catching the future today.
