The sessions.
From the Torture Dungeons of “Systems Integration” to the Promised Land of “Business Innovation”.
Exploring the New Era of Technology Driven Business Transformation, enabled by S/4HANA, Signavio and a renaissance of Consulting.
Digitalization, AI, Cloud and SAP’s introduction of S/4HANA are catalysts for IT driven innovation. What if we could make them also fundamentally change the way IT driven innovation is delivered? Can we be much more effective and much faster? Can the process become a joy to the business community rather than a curse? Yes, it can, and it requires some change from all of us involved! Buckle up, we will explore how.

SAP Signavio & SAP LeanIX – the Strategic Context.
Business applications are like running shoes. Owning the best pair might give you the potential to run like Usain Bolt, but simply purchasing them doesn’t make you an elite athlete. The same principle applies to digital transformation: subscribing to a cloud service won’t automatically turn you into a Digital Champion capable of leveraging the full benefits of new business technologies.
To truly harness this potential, you need tools who can assess your current situation, help craft a strategy to reach your goals, and guide you seamlessly through the journey toward digital excellence and high-performance processes that genuinely drive your business forward … and: help you overcome all those bad habits that keep you from reaching your goals.
This is exactly what SAP Signavio, LeanIX and this keynote are all about.
