“ETM.next covers the end-to-end process for fleet and rental use cases for our customers, providing comprehensive digital solutions for requesting, planning, dispatching, and billing as well as full life-cycle management for critical assets. ETM.next is also a great proof point of how we co-innovate with SAP in the industry cloud. We joined forces to help customers create smart, best-run businesses.
