Migrating to SAP S/4HANA isn’t optional, it’s inevitable for ECC users. And if you haven’t started, you’re already behind given these projects can take well over a year. So it’s a must to plan sooner rather than later – not just due to inflated costs, but also because you’ll harness more strategic opportunities out of the gate.

This session addresses six unvarnished truths about migration, from the hidden costs of dirty data to missing out on the power of tax process automation and integration. We’ll also explore why leveraging SAP Document and Reporting Compliance with natively integrated U.S. return generation is essential for global statutory reporting and adapting to ever-changing regulations.

Don’t just migrate—transform.

What you’ll learn:

• The tip of the iceberg: 6 truths about migrations that are MUSTS to consider.
• How SAP DRC with natively integrated U.S. tax automation unlocks efficiency, audit readiness and the ability to adapt to ever-changing regulations around the globe.

See how PwC used LLMs in their SAP S/4 HANA implementation to automate enterprise role design, reduce manual mapping by weeks, improve accuracy, and drive compliance. Get AI-driven best practices, key insights, and strategies to speed up ERP role-based access and scale effectively.

In this session, you will:

• Reframe enterprise role design as a data-led governance problem. Learn how a large technology company and PwC turned raw process and requirement data into “decision-grade” role intelligence by structuring 70,000+ process items into a governed L1 to L5 BPML foundation. 
• Use LLMs to shift workshops from discovery to validation. See how evidence-linked, confidence-scored recommendations produced workshop-ready role proposals, moving stakeholder time from “what do we do?” to “is this right?” and compressing cycle time from weeks to days. 
• Scale role mapping across SAP and non-SAP with traceability. Understand a practical approach to map activities to entitlements across a heterogeneous landscape (SAP plus non-SAP) while keeping every recommendation traceable back to a source activity or requirement. 
• Strengthen governance, risk, and compliance in access management. Discover how AI-driven insights supported more consistent role definitions, improved segregation-of-duties considerations, and enhanced visibility across the access model.
