SAPCHAT

Making sense of SAP RISE licensing is a daunting task. In this episode, I am joined by Sharon Ryan, Partner at Xactitud, who specialises in helping clients work their way through this topic. We discuss how clients should approach this and the best way of approaching this as you embark on your S4 journey

In this episode, I am joined by Sana Asher, Global SAP Leader for Integrity Resource Management, based in New York. Sana explains her 30-year SAP journey and what prompted her to move from large SI's to a much smaller organisation focussed on Phase 0. We discuss the common pitfalls that clients make when moving to S4HANA.

In a departure from my normal content, this is a recording of a meeting with John Hewer, SAP UK Architecture Advisor where we discuss how smartShift is transforming S4 programs by automating ABAP Code remediation and providing Dual Maintenance to minimise change freezes. We discuss the Clean Core journey and what that means.

There is no doubt that driving a clean core has huge advantages but how can you achieve that using automation to achieve a fast and accurate migration? In this episode, I am joined by Arndt Hoffmanm, who explains how some of the world's biggest organisations have already done so utilising smartShift's technology and approach.

Following the last couple of episodes where we explored the relative merits of a clean core, Alisdair contacted me to say he thought we were missing the point. In this episode, Alisdair talks us through why having a dirty core may not be such a bad thing.

With the recent announcement of the strategic partnership between SAP Signavio and Knoa, I chatted with Brian Berns, CEO of Knoa to understand the value they bring and how customers can exploit that.

In this episode, I chat with David about the RISE offering, how it has evolved, and its impact on clients and partners. Listen to David's views on a clean core, AI and his SAP Predictions for 2024.

Do organisations have the visibility of their supply chains they need? How have they been impacted by Covid and how will regulation have an even bigger impact? In this episode, I am joined by John McFall, CEO of SupplyChainWise who discusses how Cloud and AI/ML technologies are transforming solutions to these challenges.

What is a clean core? why is it important? how can you achieve that with RISE & BTP? In this episode, I am joined by Vivien Boche, SAP Senior Director - Business Technology Platform @Center of Excellence and Gerd Danner, Vice President EMEA Centre of Excellence for Information Management at SAP where we discuss how we can achieve this and its wider implications on your S4HANA journey.
