Technology driver
 Cloud computing enables worldwide access and processing of
information regardless of time and place e.g. C/4 HANA, Ariba,
Cloud Platform, …
 Sensors in machines and products provide a variety of "new"
information e.g. SAP Leonardo, SAP ME, SAP MII, …
 In-memory technologies enable the processing of large amounts
of data in the shortest possible time e.g. HANA, …
 Cultural change in the company in dealing with data e.g.
Microservices, 2 Speed Architecture, API Management
The speed of development of innovation has
increased exponentially and makes “IT” more
complex
Increasing pressure through SAP innovative technologies

What are the resulting questions from our customers?
How does SAPs strategy look like? Am I investing into
the right products?
Is S/4 HANA capable to support my processes and
capabilities right now?
How do I plan my transformation strategy in direction of
S/4 HANA as well as recent or future technologies?
Which SAP products fit my enterprise?
What are the cornerstones of my architecture to move
into the right direction?
How are other customers going forward? Could you
provide a Reference-Architecture or Design-Concepts?
SAP strategy provides clear guidelines in terms of processes, organisation and technology,
this also assumes a complete fresh mindset of employees and IT.
