SAP CIO topics include some of the most important issues facing SAP customers right now. As companies transform, the position of CIO has become central to that change. CIOs manage the software and infrastructure that enables companies to develop new business models, stay competitive with digital native organizations, and become more resilient against disruption.
As part of our SAP CIO content, we conduct executive-focused research in areas such as CIO priorities, change management, platform innovation, and transformation. Speaking with CIOs about these endeavors, as we do through our Technology Executive Forum, can offer guidance on the most important challenges SAPinsiders are facing, and the technology they are using to address those challenges.

Chevron and Deloitte Conquer the Art of the Possible Feb 23, 2022 — Companies operate in a global landscape where market conditions can change quickly. Thus, it’s critical to utilize technology that enables the ability to pivot when required. For Chevron, a legacy ERP infrastructure fraught with customizations slowed the company from innovating at a competitive pace.

The event featured speakers Sarah Lottman, Senior Manager for Deloitte Consulting, and Mike Legaspi, IT Specialist and SAP Cloud Platform Architect for Chevron, and their collaboration to architect a framework that enabled Chevron to innovate and pivot quickly, while leveraging and pushing the boundaries of SAP’s Business Technology Platform (BTP).
