This year, perhaps more than any other, has shown how important it is for supply chains to be resilient, flexible, intelligent, and networked. That’s why I would like to invite you to SAPPHIRE NOW – our largest event for the SAP ecosystem of customers and partners. The kick-off for SAPPHIRE NOW is on June 2nd, with a virtual keynote by our CEO Christian Klein. The event will then run throughout June and July. Since the entire event will be virtual, we have planned three series divided by regions to cover all partners and customers in our ecosystem.

You have the possibility to choose from 8 tracks (e.g. Finance, IT, HR, Supply Chain) and more than 400 sessions to create your own individualized event.

In particular, I would like to share with you some of my personal highlights from the many S/4HANA sessions that include new developments, strategic updates as well as customers insights and S/4HANA success stories presented by our customers.

 

Some events that I want to highlight are:
