Information technology, IT architectures, and infrastructure, as well as algorithms and data structures are essential to operate SAP software.

Automotive suppliers that manage complex price structures in SAP software reach their limits when it comes to price adjustments and importing price data in the standard system. SAP add-ons automate these processes, significantly reduce costs and usually pay for themselves in the first year.
Companies invest heavily in cyber security, but their most valuable data often remains unprotected. SAP systems, the heart of critical business processes, are often overlooked in penetration tests - a fatal omission that opens the door to attackers.
When talking to companies about data platforms, the discussion often quickly turns to technologies, manufacturers or feature lists - and surprisingly rarely to the central question: What business benefits do we want to achieve with our data?
Companies are faced with the challenge of combining stable SAP core systems with the speed of modern development. Hybrid architectures, low-code platforms and AI agents create new scope for action.
The migration to SAP offers many advantages, but is complex. The impetus often comes from IT: consistent processes, scalability and updates ensure a future-proof architecture. In production, this means rethinking processes, migrating data and adapting workflows.
How can SAP transformation be approached with the Maslows Hammer mindset? Every business challenge is treated as if it required a comprehensive transformation program.
AI has long been a reality. Models have been purchased, platforms are in place and budgets have been released. This looks logical on strategy charts. In day-to-day business, however, the effect remains sobering.
Since 2025, companies in Germany have been obliged to receive and process B2B electronic invoices in a structured data format. Ulrich Winter from Nagarro explains how to implement this quickly and what add-ons should do.
SAP BDC for companies is becoming increasingly powerful with Databricks, SAC and the BDC partner Connect. A strong toolset is not the only important thing. It's about finding a common language and mindset across roles for SAP and non-SAP employees for maximum success.
Printer and output management in SAP is a bottleneck in many companies: it requires administrative authorizations, specialized hybrid know-how and often the coordination of several teams.
The SAP Data Migration Cockpit facilitates the S/4 migration of financial data by checking the data quality of the objects to be migrated at an early stage, thus ensuring security, transparency and compliance. This saves costs and significantly reduces risks during migration.
The end of support for SAP ECC is approaching and organizations face a pivotal moment in their ERP lifecycle. Businesses must prepare for migration to other ERP systems (not necessarily from SAP), while continuing to ensure uninterrupted SAP ECC operation—until 2030, but probably even beyond.

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 fourth 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.
