SAP infrastructure is the backbone of your business, yet managing it remains manual, complex, and prone to human error. Even with advanced monitoring, your team is often buried in alerts and expert-level interpretation. It’s time to move from reactive monitoring to AI-assisted operations. In this session, we explore how to bridge the gap between SAP expertise and AI without the privacy risks of public models or the massive costs of custom training. We will demonstrate how to use the Multi-Context Protocol (MCP) to securely "ground" Large Language Models in your actual system data.

Key takeaways:

• The "Super-Admin" Effect: See how SUSE leverages Trento and Private AI to automate routine troubleshooting and validation.
• Security First: Learn why a private, MCP-based architecture is the only way to use AI with sensitive SAP metadata.
• Operational Excellence: Shift your team’s focus from "keeping the lights on" to strategic innovation by reducing manual infrastructure toil.
