Previous posts in this blog series on the Digital Solutions Economy (DSE) have explored a wide range of issues and solutions as well as deeper dives into DSE implementation in specific industries.  In this latest post, we take a look at data security, privacy protections, and overall cybersecurity issues, which impact all companies, especially those that are implementing new DSE programs.

A previous episode in this blog series gave an overview of How the Digital Solutions Economy (DSE) is Impacting the Medical Device Industry. This new post provides a deeper look at how the leasing of medical equipment along with other bundled services or products presents particular challenges for meshing contracts and lessor accounting with DSE management and revenue recognition.

Previous posts in this blog series on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and carbon accounting have spotlighted carbon accounting as a trend to watch, looked at ESG impacts on M&A, and tracked the emergence of new ESG standards.

The Bramasol team at SAP Sapphire all agreed that it was one of the best events we've attended in quite a while, with lots of opportunities for deep engagement with SAP experts.

One of the biggest advantages of the return to in-person events is the opportunity for engaging with colleagues in those impromptu conversations that organically bring to the surface new insights. These unstructured talks create the kind of "ah-ha" moments that you just can't  get in a half hour video call. 

The Bramasol team had the pleasure of doing just that last week at SAP Insider in Las Vegas and it was both enjoyable and very informative!

Here are four key insights and trends from our interactions with fellow participants at the SAP Insider Event.
