Work on SAP Basis is crucial for successful S/4 conversion. This gives the so-called Competence Center strategic importance among SAP's existing customers. Regardless of the operating model of an S/4 Hana, topics such as automation, monitoring, security, application lifecycle management, and data management are the basis for the operative S/4 operation.

For the second time already, E3 Magazine is hosting a summit in Salzburg for the SAP community to get comprehensive information on all aspects of S/4 Hana groundwork. With an exhibition, expert presentations, and plenty to talk about, we again expect numerous existing customers, partners, and experts in Salzburg.

The conference language is German.

ososoft

ososoft is a leading European IT and SAP consulting company with over 120 experts. The company pursues an innovative approach: complex processes are simplified and efficient software solutions are implemented to make companies fit for the future. In addition to strategy and process consulting, ososoft also covers technical implementation. The motto "We take IT live" stands for successful practical implementation. A new focus is on AI and SAP - ososoft develops its own AI products and offers customized AI solutions.

The SAP Competence Center Summit 2024 will be accompanied by an exhibition where participants can discuss individual tasks and challenges with dedicated SAP partners. ALM, cloud computing, automation, security, data management, hybrid scenarios and open source will fundamentally determine the development and success of S/4 Hana. With Cloud ALM, Signavio and testing, existing SAP customers and partners will be provided with various tools to shape and control the conversion of S/4 Hana. The sponsors and exhibitors will discuss whether these tools are sufficient and what else is needed for hybrid system landscapes.

In a composable ERP world, other laws will apply. The tools for on-prem and cloud computing will have an ALM focus. The SAP basis work on a future ERP may be based on SAP components, but its essence will consist of composite IT solutions from SAP partners. The composability of security, automation, ALM and testing will define future ERP architectures. Platforms will become even more important because they stand for the homogeneity of the SAP basis. This composability at the base will be a principle of ERP system design and will be owned by the community. The discourse about an ERP with and after S/4 will not be conducted by SAP, but by existing customers in the community with tools from SAP partners.

SAP partners are invited to present and discuss their solutions and tools at the SAP Competence Center Summit 2024 in Salzburg. As an SAP partner with answers to the work on SAP Basis, Salzburg is a must-attend event in 2024.

SAP partners can apply to sponsor the SAP Competence Center Summit 2024 in Salzburg. They will receive an exclusive media package and a keynote speech at the beginning of the two-day event. We look forward to hearing from you!
