adesso wins another major SAP project. The IT service provider is migrating the amedes-group’s existing SAP R/3 ERP system to RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition. A joint team of experts from the adesso Life Sciences business unit and adesso orange, the adesso Group’s SAP consulting company, will be responsible for converting the system. The decision to partner with adesso on this project was made by the responsible parties at amedes after the successful completion of a preliminary project, as well as the Discover, Prepare, and Explore phases, following adesso’s proven active transformation methodology. The planned implementation will take place near-standard over the next few months on the basis of a greenfield approach. The project was launched in January 2025. The new system is scheduled to go live for all companies at the beginning of 2026.

Postponed but not cancelled: although the national implementation of the NIS2 Directive has been delayed, it is set to become important for all companies in the critical infrastructure sector (KRITIS) in the coming months. In the run-up to the E-world energy trade fair in Essen, IT service provider adesso and IT security specialist Blueteam are now presenting a further developed, cost-efficient Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution. The managed SIEM solution is based on the Wazuh open-source technology and is provided via the BSI C5-certified adesso business cloud. While adesso is responsible for further development, maintenance and operation, Blueteam assumes the function of a security operations centre (SOC) as part of the partnership. The product is now available to companies in all industries.

In these dynamic times with diverse challenges, it is important for companies to remain responsive. This includes flexible IT operations that can quickly adapt to new technologies and support necessary transformations. Used in a planned manner and with a long-term perspective, managed services offer companies the opportunity to keep pace technologically. They also create scope for focussing on the core business. However, a study commissioned by adesso from Statista, which takes several current studies into account, shows that German companies have some catching up to do when compared internationally, not only in terms of utilisation, but also in terms of understanding the actual potential of managed services. Only 39 per cent of German companies are already using managed services.

In contrast to conventional AI systems, which are generally used for clearly defined and nar-rowly defined tasks, generative AI (GenAI) is characterised by its flexibility and versatility in content creation. The technology is able to generate new, coherent and often surprising content from the information available to it. Expectations are understandably high and, in some cases, entirely unrealistic. So what does the new year hold for the world of generative AI?
