Decoding the Hype: What SAP’s News Means for Your Data | Webinar

Join SAP BTP Consultant Aditi and Maextro Solution Consultant Jarek for a straight-talking session that cuts through the latest SAP news around S/4HANA, AI, and the Business Data Cloud.

The first in a series of three webinars designed to help master data readiness, it isn’t another walkthrough of the basics. It’s a deep dive into what these innovations mean for your organisation, especially when it comes to your data, users, and decision-making. Expect expert commentary and some uncomfortable truths.

You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of:

1. Why SAP’s transformation narrative starts with your data (whether you like it or not)
2. The hidden implications of S/4HANA, AI and BDC on data management
3. How to prepare your landscape and processes for what’s coming next

If you’re tired of the buzzwords and want insight that’s actually useful, this session is for you.

Key Topics Covered

Business Data Cloud – The Vision vs. The Reality

SAP is positioning BDC as a one-stop shop for unified analytics, governance, and AI enablement. But is it?
The session breaks down what BDC means in practice, how it connects to your current data landscape, and identifies potential gaps, particularly in architecture, integration, and security.

Data Quality – The Unseen Cost of Doing Nothing

As AI and automation become more embedded, poor-quality data becomes a direct business risk. This section explores how to tackle legacy data issues and ensure that both new and existing records are up to standard, right first time.

AI – From Hype to Use Case

Everyone’s talking about AI — but what does practical, business-ready adoption actually look like in the SAP ecosystem?

This part of the webinar explores how to identify real, useful AI use cases and the conditions you need to make them successful, including high-quality data, pilot projects, and governance frameworks to avoid compliance and hallucination risks.

Digital Transformation & Clean Core – The Reality Check

SAP’s clean core narrative raises big questions about customisation, innovation, and risk. Can every business move to a 100% standardised core? Should they?

Jarek and Aditi address the pros and cons of moving to a cloud-first, no-code/low-code landscape — and why compliance shouldn’t mean complete reliance.
