Where:‎‎ Salzburg, Austria
Conference language: German
For the fourth time, E3-Magazin is organizing a summit for the SAP community in Salzburg to provide comprehensive information on all aspects of S/4 Hana and SAP BTP groundwork. With an exhibition, specialist presentations and plenty to talk about, we are expecting numerous existing customers, partners and experts in Salzburg on the topics of SAP Customer COE, BTP, licenses, automation, AI, S/4 conversion and data transformation.

What is CCoE?

Whether Rise with SAP, hybrid, private or public cloud, on-prem or a sovereign cloud - in any case, an existing SAP customer needs a well-trained, experienced basic team for monitoring, automation, testing and ticket systems. Regardless of the IT operating model, the existence of in-house ERP expertise is essential for the survival of existing SAP customers. The necessary resources are pooled in the SAP CCoE, Customer Center of Expertise.

The 2026 Summit in Salzburg covers all topics of a CCoE: Abap modifications and conversion (keynote by Professor Alexander Zeier), SAP portal „SAP for Me“ and Rise with SAP, structure and organization of a CCoE (keynote by Sebastian Westphal, CIO Deutsche Bahn), monitoring, automation (with AI), testing and IT architecture management (LeanIX), SAP Cloud ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) as well as security, change management and cloud orchestration including Souvereign Cloud.
