RISE Without Risk: The Zero Trust Blueprint for SAP TransformationAs enterprises move their SAP landscapes to the cloud, secure connectivity becomes the make-or-break factor for migration timelines, user experience, operational resilience, and risk reduction. Whether you’re moving to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition through RISE with SAP or running SAP across hyperscalers, security and access decisions cannot be left until the end of the project.
Now available on demand, this SAPinsider webinar features a candid discussion with Zscaler experts on how organizations can bake Zero Trust into SAP transformation early, rather than treating it as an afterthought. The session explores how Zero Trust can help SAP customers move beyond legacy VPN and firewall-based models, reduce lateral movement risk, and create more direct, policy-based access to SAP applications and workloads.
Watch this on-demand session to learn how Zscaler’s partnership with SAP helps customers simplify secure connectivity for RISE with SAP, support hybrid and multicloud environments, and improve visibility into user experience before, during, and after migration.
This session focuses on why:
- Modernizing SAP access with Zero Trust can reduce RISE with SAP migration friction and prevent temporary connectivity workarounds from becoming permanent security and operational risk.
- Moving from network-based VPN access to direct-to-application access helps reduce blast radius and limit lateral movement.
- Secure connectivity must be viewed through the shared responsibility model, with customers retaining responsibility for key access, governance, and application security decisions.
- Zero Trust can support users, third parties, workloads, and SAP applications across hybrid and multicloud environments.
- Improving visibility into digital experience can help teams troubleshoot faster and protect productivity during migration, cutover, and go-live windows.
Featuring insights from leaders at Zscaler, this on-demand webinar explains how security can become an enabler of SAP modernization rather than a blocker

From Spreadsheet Chaos to AI-Ready Product DataSpreadsheets, manual enrichment steps, and disconnected team workflows continue to slow product data operations across SAP environments. Teams spend countless hours updating Excel files, chasing down missing attributes, fixing inconsistencies, and reworking product content for each channel. What often starts as a simple workaround can quickly become a hidden operational bottleneck, delaying product launches, creating compliance exposure, and limiting the ability to scale digital commerce across regions, marketplaces, distributors, and customer touchpoints.
At the same time, the expectations placed on product data are increasing. As AI-powered search, answer engines, and autonomous agents influence how products are discovered, evaluated, and purchased, structured and trustworthy product information is becoming essential. In this new environment, incomplete descriptions, inconsistent specifications, and fragmented product records can impact not only customer experience, but also discoverability, conversion, and readiness for agentic commerce.
In this on-demand webinar, Alex Timlin, SAP’s Chief CRM and Customer Experience Expert, joins Joakim Gavelin, Senior Principal Advisor at Inriver, to explore why product information management is becoming a critical part of the SAP ecosystem. Watch the session to hear how leading organizations are moving beyond spreadsheet-driven processes and building a more scalable, governed, and AI-ready product data foundation.

Brazil’s Tax Reform: Building a Resilient SAP-Centered Tax Compliance ArchitectureBrazil's tax reform is already underway—and it is not only redefining compliance, it is reshaping how companies operate at scale. As new mandates, electronic document types, and dual-system tax models take effect, organizations are rethinking the role of technology in managing tax determination, transaction reporting, and operational resilience.
In this on-demand session, Sovos experts Antonio Garcia and Helton Arsenio, hosted by SAPinsider's Sean Byers, examined how leading companies operating in Brazil are adapting their architectures to thrive in this new environment. Through three real-world customer cases, they explored how global enterprises are modernizing tax processes, externalizing tax logic from SAP, and building scalable platforms to absorb constant regulatory change.
The session detailed how organizations handling millions of transactions per month are preparing their SAP landscapes to support Brazil's new CBS and IBS tax framework—without compromising operational performance. Cases covered included a major Brazilian retailer operating across all 27 states requiring centralized, SAP-certified tax determination; a major airline managing millions of electronic tickets (BPE) with complex cancellation and rebooking workflows; and a global telecom company processing hundreds of documents per second across legacy systems inherited through acquisitions. Each case revealed how companies are turning regulatory pressure into an opportunity to modernize core systems and eliminate reliance on manual, spreadsheet-based processes.
Viewers will come away with:
- An understanding of Brazil's dual-system transition period (running through 2033), during which companies must manage legacy and new tax regimes simultaneously
- Why 2026 is the critical year for alignment and testing—and why 2027 marks the beginning of real government validation and enforcement
- How new electronic document formats (NFCom for telecom, BPE for airlines) and dramatically expanded XML invoice data requirements demand tighter master data governance
- How the government's move to transaction-by-transaction, item-by-item real-time control—including "assisted calculation"—makes dispute readiness essential
- Strategies for connecting SAP to certified tax engines without over-customizing existing systems
- How Sovos Intelligence applies AI and business intelligence tools to enable natural language querying of tax data and proactive planning
The organizations that will navigate Brazil's reform successfully are those treating tax technology not as a compliance cost, but as a foundation for scale, resilience, and competitive advantage. With 2026 already here and 2027 enforcement approaching, the window to build that foundation is narrow.

Keeping SAP Cloud ERP in your Data Center: Reducing Risk Without Sacrificing InnovationAs organizations evaluate SAP Cloud ERP, many assume they must move everything to a hyperscaler to access innovation and a true cloud operating model. In reality, SAP Cloud ERP Private can run in your own data center or co-location facility while delivering the same software capabilities, lifecycle management, and AI innovations as hyperscaler deployments. In this on‑demand webinar, SAP’s Rakesh Rushan and HPE’s Jim Loiacono join SAPinsider’s Robert Holland to explain the SAP Cloud ERP Private, Customer Data Center (CDC) option—including how it works, where it fits, and why many customers see it as “cloud on‑site” rather than legacy on‑prem.
You’ll hear how leading organizations are bringing a full cloud experience—including embedded and generative AI—into their own environments, keeping ERP close to critical non‑SAP systems while SAP manages the full stack as a subscription service. The speakers walk through practical considerations such as data residency and sovereignty, total cost of ownership versus hyperscaler options, time‑to‑value, and support experience, so you can decide whether running SAP Cloud ERP in your existing data center aligns with your long‑term architecture and risk strategy.
Why watch this webinar on demand:
- Understand how the SAP Cloud ERP Private, Customer Data Center option works and how it compares to hyperscaler-based deployments in terms of capabilities, operations, and SLAs.
- See how “cloud on‑site” lets you keep SAP Cloud ERP physically in your own or a co-location data center while SAP delivers a fully managed cloud service with up to 99.9% application‑level availability.
- Learn how CDC helps you meet stringent data residency, privacy, and sovereignty requirements by keeping ERP data in your chosen location while still consuming SAP’s continuous innovation and Business AI.
- Explore how co‑locating SAP and non‑SAP systems can reduce integration complexity, latency, and data egress costs, especially for analytics and large‑scale AI workloads.
- Get practical guidance on when CDC is a better fit than hyperscalers—based on data dependencies, risk and compliance, time to value, and your existing data center and infrastructure investments.
