DSAG - Taking advantage of technological climate change

More than 2,000 participants are expected at the m:con Congress Center Rosengarten Mannheim for presentations, exchange of experiences and intensive networking.

The motto of the DSAG Technology Days is: "Change = Opportunity: Today is Already Yesterday Tomorrow".

Ralf Peters, DSAG Board Member Technology:

"With challenges come opportunities, and with them numerous opportunities to actively lead our companies into a new age. On the part of SAP, we need help for the transition into the new technology world."

Technologies around the ERP of the future

Innovative and reliable technologies are needed so that the ERP with its complementary applications can support the new business models and business processes. The necessary functionalities must be defined and used.

The ERP of the future must be easy to use in terms of the user interface and the user experience.

This should always be the top priority in all developments.

Planning reliability

Since drastic changes will have to be mastered, planning and investment security as well as clearly defined paths towards digitization are important. After all, cloud applications and hybrid IT landscapes are becoming increasingly important.

Ralf Peters:

"Here we expect answers and roadmaps from SAP. Because one thing is clear, the need for information in this regard is gigantic."

The new IT role understanding

The change also brings with it a new understanding of the role of the IT department.

Internal IT will have to take more care of the operation or orchestration of software solutions in a heterogeneous landscape with many service providers.

Basis administrators take on the important role of integration experts, IT architects and in-house consultants for various scenarios. This results in necessities and consequences that must be pointed out, analyzed and their effects discussed.

The DSAG spring event is considered a popular meeting place for knowledge transfer on current developments in the technology sector on the part of SAP.

Practical assessments from the user's point of view as well as technical questions complete the range of information for technologists and those interested in technology.

DSAG now offers a new app for its events, which can be downloaded free of charge from the App Store and Google Play Store.
