Technology giant and digital transformation enabler NTT DATA has launched the “SAP Integration with SiGREEN” solution as part of Siemens Xcelerator. The solution securely links SAP S/4 HANA with Siemens SiGREEN software to speed up industrial decarbonization.

Together with NTT Communications, NTT DATA is dedicated to helping automotive clients securely engage with Catena-X, enabling them to make informed decisions that lower their product carbon footprints. The ‘Catena-X ready’ SiGREEN solution allows automotive manufacturers to connect with trusted partners to collect emissions data across their value chain.

At the time of this announcement, Hidehiko Tanaka, Head of Technology and Innovation at NTT DATA said – “We are excited to launch the ‘SAP integration with SiGREEN’ solution on the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace, a pivotal step towards accelerating the decarbonization of industries. We are committed to helping our clients utilize this solution to make accurate data-driven decisions on reducing their product’s carbon footprint across the value chain. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Siemens to develop new solutions that will help customers scale SiGREEN software and accelerate their transition towards a sustainable future.”

Introducing the ERP for Decarbonization Strategy Management

According to Intent Market Research, the Cloud ERP Market is projected to expand significantly, growing from USD 44.6 billion in 2023 to approximately USD 93.8 billion by 2030, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. This growth is driven by increasing demand for flexible, scalable solutions that enhance operational efficiency and support remote work. As more organizations recognize the benefits of cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems—such as improved accessibility, reduced IT costs, and the ability to leverage real-time data for decision-making—investments in these technologies are expected to surge. By 2030, the majority of cloud ERP solutions will also focus on decarbonization-led digital transformation strategies. These trends related to net-zero digital transformation initiatives and the rising need for integrated business processes across various industries further contribute to the anticipated growth in the Cloud ERP sector.

SAP S/4 HANA is among the most commonly used ERP systems. In the latest IT industry announcement, NTT Data introduced its new solution, “SAP Integration with SiGREEN.” This integration will boost the Siemens Xcelerator business platform, enabling organizations to manage carbon emissions effectively and make informed decisions about their decarbonization strategies.

A decarbonization strategy is a comprehensive plan for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with an organization’s operations, products, or services. This strategy typically involves the evaluation of current CO2 emissions based on major sources of carbon output. This carbon footprint analysis establishes clear, measurable targets for CO2 emissions, aligning organizational vision with the national, international, or regional climate goals, including Net-Zero commitments. Companies such as NTT Data invest heavily in their corporate culture and workforce training to improve decarbonization efforts, investing in research and development for new technologies and practices that can further reduce emissions over time.

Last year, the company announced the “NTT Data Net-Zero Vision 2040”, responding to new challenges linked to global Co2 emissions and sustainability goals.

NTT DATA has created the “SAP Integration with SiGREEN” solution to assist manufacturers in seamlessly connecting their product master data from SAP S/4 HANA to SiGREEN. A successful proof-of-concept conducted at the Swiss Innovation Park Biel/Bienne demonstrated the solution’s capability to automate the entire product data integration process between these two platforms.

The integrated solution will be offered to customers through the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace. Siemens Xcelerator is an open digital business platform designed to foster a robust ecosystem of partners, all working together to drive digital transformation in alignment with customers’ unique business objectives.

Essential product master data is typically housed within ERP systems, allowing a seamless data exchange with SiGREEN. An automated data flow can be established by linking SiGREEN to these ERP systems.

Gunter Beitinger, Senior Vice President of Manufacturing at Siemens Digital Industries and founder of SiGREEN highlighted the importance of the NTT Data – Siemens partnership. The partnership between NTT DATA and Siemens marks a significant advancement in their shared mission to promote decarbonization in the automotive sector with the launch of the “SAP Integration with SiGREEN” solution. This collaboration facilitates the seamless connection of SAP S/4 HANA with SiGREEN, empowering companies to effectively manage their product carbon footprints and make informed, data-driven decisions for a sustainable future. Both companies remain dedicated to developing innovative solutions that support customers in scaling their sustainability initiatives and reaching their decarbonization objectives.

How does the SiGREEN work?

SiGREEN streamlines the management of product-level emissions or Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). This streamlined workflow enables organizations to monitor and reduce carbon emissions throughout their value chain. It is achieved through:

Real-Time Data:

SiGREEN aggregates current and accurate emission data along the value chain. The new platform allows companies to calculate a ‘dynamic’ carbon footprint. This approach helps identify emission hotspots and enables more precise quantification of improvements, facilitating targeted reduction strategies.

Compliance with Standards:

SiGREEN adheres to all relevant industry standards, including Catena-X for the automotive sector, Together for Sustainability for the chemical industry – ISO and PACT. This cross-industry compatibility fosters collaboration necessary for comprehensive product decarbonization efforts.

Verifiable Outcomes:

Organizations can assess the full emissions profile of their products and ensure compliance with established standards. This verification process allows companies to validate carbon footprints at every stage of the value chain enhancing transparency and accountability in their sustainability initiatives. Overall, SiGREEN equips businesses with the tools needed to make informed decisions and drive meaningful reductions in their carbon emissions.

Currently, global business and technology innovators rely on NTT DATA for long-term business transformation and digital journeys. NTT Data’s top services include business and technology consulting, data and artificial intelligence, and industry solutions, as well as the development, implementation, and management of applications, infrastructure, and connectivity.
