SAP-Solution: CCoE

Those who decouple their data architecture can implement AI innovations more flexibly and at a fraction of the cost through external specialized providers, without falling into the next licensing trap set by Rise and BTP.

Tabular foundation models seem tailor-made for SAP’s ABAP world. In an ERP system where everything is based on tables, an LLM (Large Language Model) has no place. With TabPFN (Tabular Prior-data Fitted Network), the startup Prior Labs can save SAP’s Autonomous Enterprise.

AI knows only one path: to solve a given task optimally and once and for all! What seems like a radical approach to humans is, for the machine, its logical raison d’être. Because AI has no humanistic values, it will continue to optimize until its very end.

Hyperscaler power or European control? German companies want both. According to the Valantic study „Sovereign Hypercloud,“ many companies are focusing on expanding their IT infrastructure in Europe to combine the performance of international hyperscalers with greater sovereignty.

In collaboration with Deloitte, UiPath relied on agentic automation, test automation, and a clear separation between the SAP core and the agent layer, and used its own S/4 migration as a stress test for a new ERP operating model.

For the majority of companies in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, data sovereignty within the EU is a very important issue. More than half would even be prepared to pay more. These are the results of a recent study commissioned by SAP.

Public cloud projects differ fundamentally from traditional SAP implementations. It is not just technology, but above all methodological and organizational changes that determine success. What challenges companies can expect and what is important now.
