Austrian SAP customer Agrana is one of the world's leading food and industrial goods companies. In Germany, Agrana is probably better known for its strategic partner Südzucker, which is also an SAP user.
SAP is an innovative company. It is constantly researching new technologies and the next generation of business software. Sometimes, however, the innovations are almost too far ahead of the reality of everyday customer life.
Christian Klein's keynote speech at the 2023 DSAG Annual Congress in Bremen, Germany, had it all. The SAP CEO announced that key innovations will only be available in the SAP cloud in future.
Public, Private, Industry or SAP BTP are just some of the topics that will keep us busy in the SAP universe. In the meantime, we have a certain capacity for suffering and are used to constantly learning.
The digitization of processes and the exchange of data with customers, partners and authorities have long been part of everyday life. In the SAP environment in particular, a wide range of scenarios are used to integrate solutions into existing technologies and secure them against cybercrime.
IoT, AI or machine learning: it has never been easier to obtain applications, ready-made services and the latest technologies quickly and flexibly from the cloud. But what is the right cloud strategy and how can secure data migration be achieved?
Cyber attacks range from manual hacking and phishing activities to the use of ransomware and malware to CEO fraud. However, remedies for many attacks have been available for a long time.
The SAP App Center - SAP's digital B2B marketplace - has been around for just under two and a half years. Almost 1,000 different partners and developers now offer more than 1,800 apps, extensions, plug-ins, and microservices there. Time to take stock: What does the SAP App Store have to offer?
From the end of 2025, SAP ERP will no longer be maintained. Anyone who has not yet made the switch to S/4 by then will have a problem. So the motivation to finally take on the migration is growing every day.
One of Snap's self-images is that we deal with innovations as early as possible. With Abap on the SAP Cloud Platform (SCP), for example.

Working on the SAP basis is crucial for successful S/4 conversion. 

This gives the Competence Center strategic importance for existing SAP customers. Regardless of the S/4 Hana operating model, topics such as Automation, Monitoring, Security, Application Lifecycle Management and Data Management the basis for S/4 operations.

For the second time, E3 magazine is organizing a summit for the SAP community in Salzburg to provide comprehensive information on all aspects of S/4 Hana groundwork. All information about the event can be found here:
