Ses­sion One:
SAP S/4HANA Trans­for­ma­tion: Automa­tion Adop­tion Strate­gies to Max­i­mize Val­ue and Accel­er­ate Migra­tion at Speed and Scale
As the econ­o­my starts mov­ing again, orga­ni­za­tions are eval­u­at­ing the best path for­ward to speed SAP dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion efforts and future­proof from fur­ther dig­i­tal dis­rup­tion. Tran­si­tion­ing to SAP S/4HANA is dif­fer­ent for every orga­ni­za­tion and requires orga­ni­za­tions to rethink the way they man­age change, col­lab­o­rate, and adopt automa­tion. The key ques­tion to address at the begin­ning of any SAP S/4HANA trans­for­ma­tion jour­ney is the cur­rent busi­ness strat­e­gy and oper­at­ing mod­el, and the abil­i­ty of the cur­rent ERP plat­form to sup­port them.

In this pre­sen­ta­tion, we’ll pro­vide guid­ance on how to suc­cess­ful­ly nav­i­gate SAP S/4HANA migra­tions by incor­po­rat­ing a change-man­age­ment mind­set, Agile test­ing best prac­tices, and a shift-left approach to automa­tion designed to keep pace with change at speed and scale.

Ses­sion Two:
This Isn’t Work­ing: Rethink­ing Dig­i­tal Trans­for­ma­tion for Your New Reality
Dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion has been a hot top­ic for years, but there’s noth­ing like a cri­sis to cre­ate a greater sense of urgency. There is no doubt the pan­dem­ic is dis­rupt­ing your busi­ness, but if you put the brakes on your future so you can man­age today, you are going to fail. The prob­lem is not the econ­o­my. It is not the virus. It is the way we have been imple­ment­ing trans­for­ma­tion. There must be a bet­ter way. In this ses­sion, we will explore:

• Why the tra­di­tion­al soft­ware cycle doesn’t work
• How a ser­vice-based mod­el ben­e­fits your business
• A new approach that is fast, flex­i­ble, and afford­able (even with a frozen CapEx budget)
