Every white paper and keynote includes a popular keyword: digital transformation. However, besides being a beloved keyword, it is also a labor-intensive process! To make the challenge easier to meet for SAP customers, this section includes tips and tricks.

The cloud blurs the differences between applications from different providers. Functions are developed, replicated, and provided more quickly. Switching to the cloud is difficult, but offers enormous opportunities.

Recently, it was the 40th anniversary of the IBM PC. Now, standard software is not conceivable without standard hardware. Therefore, it makes sense to take a look at the mutual firing of both standardizations.
The Fraunhofer Institute and IBM inaugurated Europe's currently most powerful quantum computer with the participation of politicians and scientists. Will quantum computers really revolutionize the way we use IT solutions?
When IT and business departments are asked about IT projects that have been started or are planned, the topic of AI comes to the forefront. So let's look at what AI actually is and the expectations behind it.
