SAP Executive Forum
What is an SAP Executive Forum?
An SAP Executive Forum gives technology leaders in the SAP space an opportunity to share stories, challenges, and ideas. It can be useful to hear from those that have the same responsibilities and are beholden to similar goals. At SAPinsider, the place for leaders to interact is the Technology Executive Forum (TEF).
What is an SAP Executive Forum?
An SAP Executive Forum gives technology leaders in the SAP space an opportunity to share stories, challenges, and ideas. It can be useful to hear from those that have the same responsibilities and are beholden to similar goals. At SAPinsider, the place for leaders to interact is the Technology Executive Forum (TEF).
The TEF engages with executives and leaders at SAP customer companies to hear their SAP journeys and technology-related priorities. This engagement happens through multiple avenues, including:
- Virtual executive meetings
- Webinars from the most important technology vendors in the SAP ecosystem
- Virtual executive summits with customer and vendor speakers
- In-person summits, such as at the SAPinsider conference in Las Vegas
- Research reports, which utilize survey data and in-person interview to capture the trends that matter most to technology leaders
SAP Executive Forums help leaders find the answers they need to move their businesses forward. That often means finding the right technology and the TEF partners with a diverse set of key vendors such as Deloitte, SUSE, Microsoft, and Worksoft. Each of those vendors captures different parts of the SAP journey — from strategy and implementation to architecture, infrastructure, and testing automation.
Key Considerations for an SAPinsiders:
- TEF’s recent research into the CIO’s Agenda for 2022 found that technology leaders are primarily focused on increasing process efficiency and visibility while reducing IT costs. The technologies they are focused on to accomplish this include SAP S/4HANA and cloud offerings.
- Technology leaders are often an excellent source of thought leadership in the SAP space, as they are the ones making the ultimate buying decisions on many of SAP’s solutions. The TEF includes leadership perspectives from every industry and from companies at various stages of their SAP journeys — from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA in the cloud.
- SAP S/4HANA remains the most strategic investment for executives in the SAPinsider community. Across the whole technology group, our research in SAP S/4HANA migration also shows that SAP’s 2027 mainstream maintenance deadline on legacy SAP ERPs is among the top drivers to move to SAP S/4HANA. Through the TEF, we are able to bring together perspectives on how technology leaders should best navigate the SAP S/4HANA migration process.
