SAPinsider Research Insights | Enterprise Cloud DeploymentDigital transformation and the deployment of applications in the cloud has been a key topic of discussion within the enterprise software market for several years but that conversation has been accelerated by the global events of 2020. Organizations whose workforces had been entirely on-site have had to quickly convert to a remote work environment. Many of those companies have scrambled to address critical infrastructure changes and implement cloud-based applications to provide faster and more reliable access for remote users. To determine whether changes in the business environment this year have impacted cloud adoption, SAPinsider surveyed 116 members of our community. The purpose of the survey was to determine what is critical to their cloud deployment, which cloud providers and deployment models they are using, and what workloads they are running in the cloud. Attend this session to: - Learn what drives organizations in their approach to enterprise cloud deployment - Discover the top requirements and tools for cloud deployment strategies - Gain your strategy guidance for optimizing cloud deployment processes
Managing Business Processes for Performance in the SAP S/4HANA EnvironmentContinuous improvement is an objective of almost every business. However, process owners in complex organizations can find it difficult to know where process inefficiencies exist and where to deploy limited resources for process reengineering. How can you get more value out of your SAP S/4HANA system, increase business user productivity, and improve the user experience? This session will cover SAP’s solutions for Business Process Management (BPM) for business process orchestration and governance for enabling a digital approach to continuous improvement. Attend this session to learn how to: - Tailor your SAP S/4HANA system to your company’s specific business processes - Gain visibility of process inefficiencies with quantified improvement opportunities - Monitor business process activity and performance against company objectives - Automate and streamline processes for a more productive and proactive user experience
How to Gain a Complete Open Hybrid Infrastructure for Your Digital Enterprise with Red HatMost organizations are aware of the benefits of becoming an intelligent enterprise. Forward-thinking companies are migrating to SAP S/4HANA while at the same time increasing reliability, getting maximum value from their SAP investments, and maintaining a “clean” digital core by applying automation and smart management to the migration process. Additionally, organizations are achieving digital transformation and an agile IT ecosystem by enabling open hybrid cloud and cloud-native development using microservices for their SAP and non-SAP applications. How can you unlock the door to begin your own digital transformation journey? Attend this session to gain insights on: - Identifying challenges to becoming an intelligent enterprise and recommended solutions - Automating processes so your team can spend more time focusing on innovation projects and tasks that add business value - Enabling your IT workloads for hybrid cloud deployments to ensure agile integrations with SAP and non-SAP workloads
Mitigate the Risks of your SAP S/4HANA Projects With AI and AutomationTo better support the innovative enterprise, SAP is continually evolving its core ERP platform. This continuous process provides companies with exciting new features and technologies that potentially improve their operating efficiencies. However, these changes can also pose risks that existing functionality, supported with standard or custom components, will no longer work in a new SAP S/4HANA version. Companies converting to SAP S/4HANA for the first time as well as those moving to a newer SAP S/4HANA version will require change intelligence to accelerate and de-risk their initiatives. So how can they use insight, automation, and change intelligence to identify and reduce or eliminate migration risk by knowing what will change, what will break, what to fix, and what to test? Attend this session to understand how you can: - Accurately assess migration efforts and underlying risks - Accelerate SAP S/4HANA migrations and upgrades by using artificial intelligence (AI) and automation to reduce project scope and code correction complexity - Eliminate both technical and functional change risk by seeing the true impact of a change before making it, minimizing multiple sandbox iterations - Intelligently downscope project deliverables based on risk and usage metrics
