    TechEd #6: Five Days to a Working AI Solution — Inside SAP's Forward Deployed Engineering Model

    Recorded live at SAP TechEd 2025 in Berlin, this episode of Inside SAP Cloud ERP gets to the heart of what the autonomous enterprise actually looks like when it's working. Host Yannick speaks with Sindhu Gangadharan, Head of Customer Industry Solutions at SAP and Managing Director of SAP Labs India — a 27-year SAP veteran who has led everything from SAP's integration portfolio to its Intelligent Enterprise strategy. Sindhu lays out a clear and compelling arc of how ERP has evolved: from a system of record that captured the past, to a system of insight that flagged what might happen next, to what she describes today as a system of action. She then brings that vision to life through SAP's Industry AI organization and its Forward Deployed Engineering model, where small expert pods embed directly inside customer environments and move from scoping to a working proof of concept in weeks — sometimes days.Follow and subscribe on Spotify or Apple Podcasts so you never miss an update, leave your comments and your quick rating or review helps others discover the show.

    TechEd #5: Already Half There — How SAP Partners Are Leading the AI Agent Revolution

    Recorded live at SAP TechEd 2025 in Berlin, this episode of Inside SAP Cloud ERP goes inside the SAP partner ecosystem to explore how partners are shaping the autonomous enterprise — not just enabling it. Host Yannick Peterschmitt speaks with Alessandro Sabidussi, Head of Global Cloud ERP Partner Excellence Services at SAP, who opens with a reframe: the shift to an AI-centric mindset isn't a disruption, it's simply the next step in an evolution that most partners are already well into. Alessandro shares a striking data point — half of all agents published in SAP's Discovery Center are already built by partners, and the majority are deeply industry-specific, exactly where partners add the most value. He walks through the tools SAP is putting in partners' hands right now: Partner Opportunity Maps for self-directed investment decisions, SAP Grow Fast for pre-packaged fixed-scope engagements, and the Qualified Partner Package Solutions framework that lets partners publish qualified offerings directly on SAP.com.

    TechEd# 4: Building AI Value in Your Cloud ERP Journey

    Recorded live at SAP TechEd Berlin, this episode gets practical about one of the most common questions on every SAP transformation project right now: where do you actually start with AI? Mustafa Bensan, SAP champion and consultant, is currently in a QA role on a RISE with SAP migration for an automotive customer moving from legacy ERP to SAP Cloud ERP Private. He shares a refreshingly honest take on AI readiness in the field: most customers are still focused on reaching their target state first, and while the autonomous enterprise vision is compelling, it's not yet the immediate priority. But that doesn't mean AI has to wait. Mustafa explains how monitoring recurring operational issues — the tickets already being raised across manufacturing, finance, and supply chain — is a low-disruption way to surface real AI opportunities without pulling business teams away from their day jobs. He also makes the case for data governance culture coming before any tooling investment and shares his five-year outlook on where customers will realistically land.

    TechEd #3: Autonomous Enterprise and the SAP Skills & Talent Gap

    Recorded live on keynote stage at SAP TechEd Berlin, this episode tackles a question hiding in plain sight: a self-running enterprise still needs people to build it, run it, and step in when things go wrong. So, who are those people and do we have enough of them? Watch this episode in video at TechEd's page: SAP TechEd Virtual - Session Catalog https://www.sap.com/events/teched/virtual/flow/sap/tev26/catalog/page/catalog/session/1792538140751001a1aH Host Fernanda Rodrigues sits down with Dr. Tamas Szirtes, SAP Mentor and Group Innovation Director at SOA People, and Sebastiano Marchesini, SAP Champion. Together they explore the crossroads of the autonomous enterprise and the SAP skills and talent gap. The conversation covers which SAP skills are becoming obsolete, which are now worth their weight in gold, and why change management keeps coming up as the answer nobody wants to hear. Sebastiano and Tamas also share how they approach learning in a landscape that moves faster than any one person can track — and what role community, mentorship, and events like TechEd play in closing the gap. Expect honest takes, practical advice, and one direct challenge: don't wait for anyone else to make the first move.

    TechEd #1: Natura's Path to Clean Core and AI Agents

    Recorded live at SAP TechEd 2025 in Berlin, this episode brings a firsthand look at one of Latin America's most ambitious SAP transformations. Michael Uhlig, Solution Architect at Natura — the iconic beauty company behind the Natura and Avon brands, with 3.1 million consultants across eight countries — shares with host Fernanda Rodrigues the story behind "T4all" (Transformation for All): a full greenfield SAP Cloud ERP implementation covering five factories, 16 distribution centers, two brands, and eight countries. Michael explains why Natura chose greenfield over lift-and-shift, how a clean core mindset shaped every design decision, and what lessons from the Ecuador pilot reshaped their approach before tackling Brazil, their largest and highest-risk operation. He also walks through Natura's parallel AI journey: activating Joule across SAP S/4HANA Cloud, building early AI agents, establishing governance with AI Agent Hub, and pioneering a "Digital Twin" concept to free knowledge workers from repetitive questions and give them space to think strategically. If you're wondering where to start your own transformation, Michael's advice is simple: just start.
