Buzzwords are my topic. Why? Because my thesis is that buzzwords definitely have a right to exist - but only if they can be roughly categorized and the majority of them make sense.

Essential for SAP customers: Sovereignty and control over SAP systems - with a reliable basis. A lot has been achieved with SAP Basis automation over the past 20 years. What influence do SAP's cloud strategy and Rise have? Empirius Head of Technology Marcus Bogenstätter explains.

SAP migrations often take longer than expected. It is not for nothing that SAP has extended some maintenance windows. New developments such as automated fit-gap analyses with a downstream factory approach accelerate the transformation.

More than two thirds of companies are seeing measurable added value from AI applications.

Sustainable growth in corporate IT requires more than just cost reductions - it requires strategic ERP management. SAP Gold Partner LeverX is convinced that modern companies must continuously question their ERP strategies in order to remain agile.

Pasta manufacturer Bürger is modernizing its logistics with S/4 Hana and SAP EWM. Together with Prismat, the company is replacing 25-year-old software with a future-proof solution designed to create transparency, efficiency and growth potential.

External master data management, synchronized with SAP systems, brings added value such as ease of use, cost-conscious design and calculation of the product carbon footprint.

The management and IT consultancy MHP and the Munich-based company Innoactive reach a milestone in XR streaming.

SAP has introduced a new S/4 Cloud Private Edition. Enhanced AI and automation functions are intended to improve user-friendliness and the transformation of business processes.

An S/4 conversion is more than just a technical release change. An existing SAP customer should only embark on this roadmap with an experienced team. It is therefore important to bring together the people involved, SAP partners and consultants to form a team at the start. The SAP partner Consilio and the existing SAP customer Fischer have achieved excellent team building. But this is not always the case.
