Do you know Alexa? No? It's the sister of Siri and Cortana, so to speak. Only she has a different "mum", and her name is Amazon. Now you might think that these voice assistants are just nice gimmicks to tell you the weather. In fact, these helpful voices are seen as a further step towards Artificial intelligence viewed.
Amazon's Alexa is also supported by special hardware that makes Alexa an always-ready assistant in the home and office: Echo. Echo is a kind of always-ready communication device that uses seven built-in microphones to listen to its master's requests.
Why this can be useful in the office was demonstrated at an SAP event. Amazon Alexa was integrated with SAP Business One. The combination is hardly surprising when you realise that SAP Business One is a cloud solutions run on the AWS platform (Amazon Web Service) and also SAP HANA from the Amazon cloud.
Alexa can now provide information about sales figures and other content from the SAP Midmarket ERP give.
What may seem like a gimmick here, however, points to a completely new future of ERP Operation.
This news also throws an interesting spotlight on a partnership between Amazon and SAP.
