Very short SAP writes: The unified experience provides trading partners with a holistic view into all their customer relationships and transactions on the network.

In addition to the new trading partner experience, buyers and trading partners can collaborate using shared data and workflows, applying network-wide intelligence to inform decisions. New services are also being made available to trading partners, such as working capital financing. Additional capabilities planned for availability later this year include:

This is news is more important than it seems in the first moment. Todays on premise local installed ERP process supporting solutions will be replaced by new soltutions which are cloudbased and connected.
The future internal company systems will probably be much thinner. Larger parts of the functionality your company needs will be part of a business network. There will probably be specialised networks which also bring the functionality needed for the specialised task.
I also expect vendors will have to be certfied, in respect to as example sustainability as well as other future govermental regulation based criterias . Every vendor will probably have to fullfill many criterias to be certfied. There will probably also be different certfications in specialied areas to make the world even more complicated.
