SAP embodies standard business software. In this section you will find accumulated business, organizational, and licensing knowledge on SAP.

Over a long period of time, the mechanical engineering specialist Trumpf from Ditzingen developed IT structures that the in-house IT department could only manage through a great deal of effort. Among other things, heterogeneous subsystems and decentralized IT solutions at various locations made work more difficult and resulted in avoidable IT costs—for example in the form of multiple licenses and rising maintenance costs.
Maintenance staff are rarely at their desks - but SAP processes often demand just that. Schöck Bauteile was therefore looking for a mobile solution to record maintenance and fault messages directly in the factory. This step was realized in 2024 with the Argvis Maintenance Portal.
Berlin-based energy service provider Gasag is one of the first energy companies to convert its SAP billing system for grid operations to a cloud-based solution in the Rise model. This is the first part of the largest IT project in the company's history to date.
RISE with SAP promises the path to an innovative cloud future. How can SAP customers best approach the transformation process?
RISE with SAP is a concept that makes it easier for customers to migrate to a new ERP era—with S/4 Hana as the first step. T-Systems provides the necessary support for a powerful IT architecture and a solid foundation.
For the twelfth time in a row, SAP has been recognized by Gartner as a "Leader" in the Magic Quadrant 2025 for Warehouse Management.
As part of its "Logistics Concept 2030", packaging manufacturer Linhardt is preparing for the future and ensuring a more efficient material flow. A decisive factor in this was the move away from the old warehouse management system in good time before the end of maintenance.
Digitizalition in purchasing? Still a non-issue for many SMEs. Yet SAP Ariba provides a modular platform for procurement and supplier management that enables SMEs to gradually come to grips with the topic.
What about process optimization? This question becomes relevant for S/4 projects at the latest. This is where Signavio comes into play: it allows users to delve deep into their processes, uncover weak points, and optimize their business processes. A practical recap shows how this works.
The Finnish chemical company Kemira has implemented one of the world's largest interface migrations to the SAP Integration Suite with "Leap". The success was based on a precise assessment, a clear roadmap, and efficient implementation.
The switch to S/4 Hana is about strategic future viability. How can the Clean Core approach be used to create a modern, maintainable system architecture, providing the foundation for agility, innovation, and compliance?
SAP users who choose strictly between best-of-breed tools and suite solutions for SAP Basis automation solutions are missing out on optimization potential. It makes sense to use a suite as a "central point of management" with the integration of other tools.

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.
