Ansible - the news doesn't stop
Ansible is an established standard that is here to stay. However, in the SAP world, application possibilities, from accelerated Rise migration to faster implementation of innovations, are still underutilized.
Going Beyond Chat with AI, Hybrid Cloud, and SAP
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.
Implementing Company-wide IT Automation
Is the automation of IT processes a technical challenge?
Yes, but not only. The key to success and smooth implementation is a well-structured plan that involves all employees - far beyond IT.
SAP modernization
What are the benefits of open source? SAP modernizations and migrations are complex; taking a different approach based on open-source principles can help you avoid several problems and stumbling blocks from the start.
C-Level Competence Is Key
SAP users are currently facing many far-reaching challenges. Not only do they need to drive migration, but also address innovation topics in terms of competitiveness and cover them from an IT perspective.
On the Path to the Future SAP With an Ecosystem Toolchain: Universal Tools
A holistic SAP modernization should include migration and innovation topics.
address in parallel and accelerate both. The basis for this disruptive approach is
Open source principles and platforms.
On New Paths to Holistic SAP Modernization: Navigation System
SAP's existing customers are caught between migration and innovation.
The necessary changes are associated with a wide range of strategic, technical and professional challenges. It is about building an intelligent enterprise.
SAP Migration and Innovation
The SAP deadline of 2027 applies to most applications and existing customers. They are actively driving the necessary migrations. However, innovation is often neglected during the transformation. But this does not have to be the case.
Profit from Linux security
The silo security of a traditional SAP environment is reaching its limits in an era of increasing interconnection between SAP and non-SAP systems. Does this lead to sacrifices for the security of a process landscape?
Migration or innovation
SAP users are caught between the conflicting priorities of migration and innovation. Migration projects with lift-and-shift procedures often dominate at first, and innovation falls by the wayside. But there is a better way.
The modernization challenge
The DSAG Technology Days have shown it again: Uncertainty still exists on the user side with regard to the necessary modernization. Time is pressing; after all, the deadline of 2027 has been confirmed once again.
The way out of chaos - how cloud and SAP ecosystems grow together
The modernization of SAP landscapes is by no means done with a lift & shift to the cloud provider. A large number of proven and required add-ons, extensions and tools are initially left out or have to be adapted and individually integrated in tedious detail work.
Open Source is more than marketing
Open source stands for innovation and is an integral part of the SAP world. Almost every player in the SAP ecosystem, be it a partner, an independent software vendor or an add-on manufacturer, is therefore taking up the open source theme.
Ideas competition
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.
Simplicity, agility and productivity
Automation is one of the central IT topics, also in the SAP world. Companies can only overcome challenges in a time of digital transformation with consistent end-to-end automation of the entire process landscape.
How do SAP partners get on the open source path?
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.
SAP modernization continues to gain momentum
For years, the digital transformation has defined the SAP world. Many correct course settings
have already been made, but there is still a lot on the move. The priority topics here are the use of open source ecosystems and hybrid cloud environments.
SAP development meets open source freedom
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.
Which cloud does the SAP user need?
No user can avoid SAP modernization in the short and medium term. Waiting is not an option, but "Lift & Shift" offers, some of which are temptingly favorable, are too short-sighted!
Why not rely on the tried and tested?
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.
A reason to celebrate
For many SAP users, the switch to Hana is accompanied by a move to Linux. The operating system, which recently turned 30, opens up a huge ecosystem of open source solutions.
There's more to SAP S4/HANA: Cloud-native development raises the potential
Digital transformation is at the forefront of most companies' agendas. The modernization of SAP ERP systems is also indispensable. On the one hand, this involves migration to the Linux-based SAP HANA database. But on the other hand, SAP users must also optimize their ability to innovate by leveraging a comprehensive open source ecosystem and hybrid cloud model. Today's SAP landscapes are often characterized by a [...]
DevSecOps for SAP? Of course!
A time of data-driven transformation and modernization has dawned - also for SAP users. This is by no means just about SAP systems; non-SAP environments must also be part of an overall strategy.
A new dream team
With regard to the implementation of innovative Industry 4.0 and IoT scenarios, the factory edge concept in particular is becoming increasingly important. An SAP connection is also an essential component here.
Every SAP user will use the open source ecosystem
The digital transformation also affects ERP systems, in the DACH region of course primarily the SAP world. Modernization is imperative. And this is by no means just a matter of migrating to the Linux-based SAP HANA database. Rather, the task is to leverage a comprehensive open source ecosystem. This is the only way SAP users can strengthen innovation and remain competitive. SAP users are not only faced with [...]
Bridge builders wanted
Automation is also one of the central topics in the SAP area. It is no longer just about initial deployment or migration scenarios, but above all about automation in ongoing operations.
Developing from a single mold
SAP applications on the one hand and other IT systems on the other have often been separate worlds from a developer's perspective. Open source-based hybrid cloud platforms overcome these parallel worlds.
Using migration as an opportunity for optimization
The upcoming migrations to Hana and S/4 present companies with considerable challenges. At the same time, however, they are an opportunity for optimization, such as for the design of a future-proof infrastructure.
Code modernization
SAP users are facing the migration and modernization of their infrastructure: Above all, the conversion to Hana and S/4 represents a major hurdle for many companies - especially with regard to the custom code in the Z namespace.
Quo vadis SAP Automation? A case for Ansible

Automation is one of the central IT topics. The SAP area is no exception. A company can only meet the requirements of digital transformation, increased competitiveness and cost optimization with IT automation.
Standardization and automation
Digital transformation requires standardization of IT landscapes and automation of processes. The SAP world is no exception. And with standard tools like Red Hat Ansible, quick wins don't have to remain a vision.
Retreading of the E2E processes
The digital transformation with new technological architectures is occupying almost all companies. As a result, there is also a need to renew SAP as the basis for corporate management that has evolved over decades.
The path has the goal of "digital excellence
SAP is building the intelligent enterprise. Red Hat supports this strategy, end to end. The upcoming modernization includes drastic changes. They concern the migration to Hana and that of the existing SAP applications including custom code to S/4.
Hybrid clouds with added business value
Hybrid clouds are the first choice for SAP customers. Set up correctly and equipped with open API and management solutions, they open up new market opportunities and generate new sources of revenue.
Innovation in the SAP World: Open Source
The modernization of the SAP world is progressing inexorably. Solutions, platforms and technologies around open source play a decisive role in this.
Open Source and Hana - What belongs together comes together
Open source technologies and SAP solutions form a powerful duo that companies can no longer ignore on the path to digital transformation today.
