AI and ML are all the rage in the SAP world. However, developing, deploying, and managing AI and ML models poses a number of challenges and requires specific frameworks.
Is automating IT processes a technical challenge? Yes, but not only a challenge. The key to success and seamless implementation is a well-structured plan that involves all employees—not just those in IT.

Open source has become the standard in many companies. The triumphant advance not only represents a technological change, but is also associated with a cultural change.
Open source is shaping the future, also in the SAP world. This change also affects long-standing SAP partners. They have to ask themselves how they can best get on the open source path in order to participate in the same way.
Time and again, SAP developers look askance at technologies that exist in the non-SAP sector. But that doesn't have to be the case: Thanks to modern platforms and open source, they have a wide range of tools at their disposal.
Speed and security are more crucial than ever in a highly competitive environment. SAP users also face the challenge of implementing innovations and new business processes quickly.
