Periscope Source vs. SAP Business Network

Well suited for tracking partner success and other commercial roles but can seem overwhelming for those who are new to it. Specific scenarios are the ability to be able to pull relevant data into charts and graphs that can be made into actionable tasks for commercial teams to pursue. It is less appropriate for non-tech associates due to its data analysis ways.

Without SAP pharma industry is spinless, the work which used to take hours to do SAP do it in seconds. It helps me in everything from review of data to release of batch. It is a very diverse product, can used for any thing and can be integrated with all other software for example LIMS and CDS etc. For me its a super app so its deserve a perfect 10

Up to now due to delay not fulfilling the envisaged business case. However, expectation that we can still ramp the usage based on existing scope. Further, we foresee additional scope which would give us an additional business case going forward, extending the Business Network usage to Warehouse Service Provider integration.

Good performance from SAP as key deployment partner; collaboration and deployment with additional business partner for data provision and business partner onboarding was rather difficult, slowing down the project progress and overall success perception

I don’t have experience with similar products.

SAP offers a more extensive global partner ecosystem, which is crucial for industries reliant on worldwide collaborations. Choosing SAP Business Network appears to be advantageous because of its comprehensive integration, instantaneous insights, and wide support network, which provide competitive advantages in trend-sensitive, fast-moving industries like music distribution. Our company is glad to have switched to SAP.
