Quo vadis - your SAP S/4HANA transformation roadmap

Keynote

Are you also currently dealing with this question: Which path is the right one for my company?

Brownfield, greenfield or a selective approach - which S/4HANA transformation path suits your individual situation? And what happens when cloud variants come into play?

There are a variety of options and finding the right one can be an exciting challenge. The speaker will share valuable insights and answer questions to provide guidance.

Jörg Bühring,
Principal Consultant,
CONSILIO Ltd.

11.30 am to 12.15 pm

Data-driven access management for compliance & efficiency

through innovative use of chatbots in the SAP service desk

Keynote

Poor ticket quality, a lack of resources, long processing times and inadequate service quality are some of the typical challenges faced by IT service desks. Chatbots make it possible to address IT queries independently and in natural language. This makes them an integral part of the future image of the IT service desk in companies.

The speakers will provide insights into ready-made use cases in SAP User & Access Management with AIMi, which can be used to partially or fully automate IT requests. This frees up resources, increases service quality and reduces costs in the long term.
