As SAP landscapes become more complex and hybrid, teams are under pressure to modernize integrations and operating models without destabilizing systems that must remain available and compliant. This session examines how integration modernization and operational readiness can be sequenced using Red Hat as a stable runtime foundation, enabling teams to move away from legacy middleware without introducing unnecessary risk or architectural sprawl.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Establish and maintain operational stability as integration architectures evolve, ensuring readiness before change and resilience during modernization.
• Apply clear decision criteria for targeted automation, focusing on where automation reduces downtime and operational risk during migration and cutover activities.
• Shift integration and orchestration responsibilities away from PI/PO-style middleware, using edge-based patterns that preserve a clean SAP core and support SAP BTP adoption.
• Translate demonstrated patterns into action, using reusable checklists and decision templates to guide integration and operational decisions in complex, hybrid SAP environments.
