This session examines the day-to-day activities required to keep applications running in production on SAP BTP, including practical guidance to monitor application health, manage access and security, handle operational changes, and maintain stability.

Attendees will learn how to: 

• Run applications on SAP BTP in production using a clear operating model.
• Set up baseline monitoring, alerting, and operational visibility for live applications.
• Align responsibilities between SAP-managed platform services and customer-owned applications, including variations by runtime and connectivity model.
• Apply governance, security, and entitlement controls to support stable operations at scale.

This session draws on Vistaprint’s SAP S/4HANA production experience and examines how on-stack extensibility was applied using an upgrade-proof, clean core–aligned approach to reshape financial operations and reporting while accelerating access to critical insights. Hear how the company combined Fiori app variants and in-app data model extensions to adapt standard SAP applications for role-specific usage without modifying the core. Explore how they created custom analytical queries that delivered deeper visibility into financial performance and trends using a combination of standard and extended data. Take away proven patterns for evolving SAP S/4HANA using standard extensibility to improve usability, insight, and flexibility.

Modern business demands faster delivery, reliable data, and the ability to adapt without disruption. In this session, see how Eneco modernized SAP integration by replacing traditional interfaces and ABAP proxies with standard APIs and event-driven connectivity in SAP S/4HANA to accelerate innovation, reduce manual effort and integration complexity, and improve operational reliability. Learn the architectural decisions, governance practices, and lessons that enabled these results, and take away guidance to simplify integration and scale performance across your SAP landscape.

As SAP customers embark on or plan for an SAP S/4HANA transformation, SAP security professionals must prepare for this new frontier. With the Clean Core approach, the SAP landscape is shifting toward an API-first model where SAP BTP, specifically SAP Integration Suite, is central. For organizations coming from the SAP PI/PO world, this this is a new environment with its own limitations and challenges. As SAP Integration Suite becomes the hub for both SAP-to-SAP and SAP-to-non-SAP integrations, the granular RBAC controls familiar from the ABAP/Java world are no longer available in the same way.
 
Join this session to:

• Gain clarity on how SAP Integration Suite reshapes integrations with a Clean Core.
• Learn about process and architecture considerations to secure and govern SAP Integration Suite.
• Walk away with guidance on tenant strategy, CPI security, API security, policy and identity and access management.

This session offers guided instruction for leveraging AI to improve task efficiency and reduce user friction in SAP Fiori apps. Understand how AI can be applied to simplify information access, guide users through core workflows, and support faster, more confident decision-making in everyday scenarios, including My Home. Attendees will leave with practical design principles for using AI to improve usability, accelerate onboarding, and create SAP Fiori experiences that are easier for users to adopt and navigate.

This session explores how to leverage SAP AI Core and SAP BTP to enhance analytics and intelligence within your SAP S/4HANA landscape. Walk through a live demo to see how to build and operationalize machine learning models using tools like Python and R on SAP HANA data. Get actionable insights to integrate these models into operational workflows to enable intelligent automation, support smarter decision-making, and drive continuous improvement across your SAP S/4HANA environment.

Understand how integration plays a critical role in enabling AI-driven innovation across SAP landscapes. Learn how timely access to business data supports AI use cases such as intelligent automation, real-time insights, and responsive decision-making. Review practical scenarios that illustrate how data latency, connectivity, and execution choices influence the effectiveness of AI outcomes. Walk away with guidance on how to design integration approaches that allow AI initiatives to scale while maintaining control and simplicity across SAP environments.

This hands-on lab guides attendees through building a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) scenario using SAP HANA Vector Engine to ground generative AI responses in trusted enterprise data. Participants will work through a guided, end-to-end exercise that demonstrates how semantic search and vector-based retrieval improve accuracy, relevance, and explainability for AI-driven applications.

By attending, you will learn how to:

• Prepare and store vector embeddings in SAP HANA Vector Engine.
• Perform semantic search to retrieve contextually relevant enterprise data.
• Connect retrieved results to a generative AI workflow using RAG patterns.
• Evaluate how grounding improves response quality, trust, and usability in business scenarios.

This lab emphasizes practical implementation and leaves participants with a working RAG prototype they can adapt to real-world use cases across analytics, operations, and application development.

Join this hands-on lab for real-world practice modernizing classic on-stack extensions to align with clean core principles in SAP Cloud ERP Private. Learn how to analyze existing custom code, apply the ABAP Cloud development model, and refactor extensions to reduce core modifications while preserving required business logic. Practice governing clean core development using tools such as the ABAP Test Cockpit to identify non-compliant objects and guide remediation decisions. Come away with practical extensibility patterns that complement SAP Fiori development, support side-by-side innovation on SAP BTP, and enable long-term upgradeability in cloud-based SAP landscapes.

SAP Joule is quickly becoming a core part of SAP’s AI strategy, yet many customers remain unclear on what Joule is designed to do, where it fits within the SAP landscape, and which teams it is intended to support. The session examines where Joule is embedded across SAP applications today, how it supports insight and action without replacing existing tools or roles, and how platform capabilities on SAP BTP enable extension, control, and governance. Attendees will get a clear understanding of who Joule is for, what it enables out of the box, what requires deeper technical engagement, and how to evaluate its relevance for their organization.

Learn how to: 

• Define what SAP Joule does and does not do, including how it differs from analytics tools, workflow engines, and traditional automation.
• Identify which Joule components are relevant to business users, IT teams, developers, and consultants.
• Differentiate how embedded Joule experiences, Joule for Developers, and Joule Studio are used in practice based on role, responsibility, and depth of engagement.
• Evaluate where SAP BTP capabilities, including extensibility and orchestration, become necessary to move beyond standard Joule usage.

This session provides a comprehensive review of the latest features, functions, and capabilities of SAP BTP, including planned enhancements across development, integration, automation, data, and AI. Attendees will gain clarity on how SAP BTP services fit together and how roadmap priorities influence architecture decisions and platform planning.

Key learning objectives:

• Understand how SAP BTP capabilities are organized across core service categories.
• Identify platform components most relevant to modern SAP landscapes.
• Assess roadmap priorities and their impact on adoption sequencing and architecture planning.
