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.

SAP CIO Topics
As part of our Technology Executive Forum, we focus on the following SAP CIO topics:
- RISE with SAP is SAP’s offering to help companies drive business innovation. It includes bundled software, platform, and services with simplified contracts. This is intended to make it easier and faster for organizations to innovate, improve processes, and modernize systems by moving to the cloud. RISE with SAP includes SAP S/4HANA Cloud, business process transformation solutions by SAP Signavio, credits for SAP Business Technology Platform, the SAP Business Network, and other partner tools and services.
- SAP Architecture focuses on the technical requirements of your SAP system landscape and the applications that support it. SAP Architecture is fundamentally based on the three-layer concept of a presentation layer, application layer, and database layer.
- SAP Digital Transformation includes content on organizations undergoing digital transformations, and best practices for supporting those projects. We talk with executives on their technology strategies as well as their change management and adoption strategies.
- SAP Sustainability examines how executives can building companies that meet the needs of current generations without compromising the needs of future generations.

The CIO’s 2024 Transformation Report CardNov 27, 2024 — CIOs have two main priorities: automation and standardization of business processes remain in the top spot. The second most popular response was unsurprisingly the move to SAP S/4HANA. The impending deadline is only getting closer as companies continue to assemble their business case and cobble together the resources and knowledge to get them there before 2027. This is according to SAPinsider’s CIO 2024 Transformation Report Card.
In the fourth year of our study, SAPinsider surveyed 105 executives and decision makers from September to November 2024 to better understand their major transformation projects and what makes or breaks success for them.
The results were compared with the previous year’s research on the same agenda. Respondents were asked to rate the progress or outcomes of their transformation projects on a scale of 1-10 (1 signifying not meeting expectations, and 10 representing exceeding expectations). The rating this year dropped to 6.61, compared to a mark of 6.91 from the previous year’s survey.
