The strategic mandate for SAP enterprises has transitioned from technical migration to the pursuit of the autonomous enterprise. While the move to SAP S/4HANA or Cloud ERP provides the foundation, many organizations find the path to operational AI obstructed by legacy technical debt, fragmented data silos, and a widening security perimeter. Success in this next phase requires an architectural shift that treats security and governance, integration, and a modern data foundation not as secondary IT tasks, but as the primary drivers of business intelligence.

This panel convenes senior executives from across the SAP ecosystem to share their perspectives on reducing the risk of cloud migrations, managing complex relationships with software and infrastructure providers, the best ways to activate and manage data essential for future AI use, and more.

Key takeaways include:

• Managing relationships between SAP, cloud providers, and system integrators to prevent project drift and control the hidden costs of cloud-based ERP.
• Moving beyond traditional perimeter defense to integrate SAP-specific vulnerability and compliance monitoring directly into the cloud landing zone.
• Using modern integration platforms to bridge SAP and non-SAP data, creating real-time data streams for analytics and AI.
• Practical insights from Callaway Golf Company and Blue Diamond Growers on transitioning from stabilization mode to continuous innovation.
