Episode 027: Aligning Procurement and Supply Chain Operations with Matt Donegan

SAP Solution Advisor, Matt Donegan draws from his past experiences in Supply Chain Operations to spotlight the conflicting priorities of Procurement and Supply Chain and how to balance them successfully. Guest: Matt Donegan – Senior Solution Advisory, SAP Spend Management Host: Sarah Nelson – Senior Solution Advisory, SAP Spend Management Host: Erik Derenne – Director, Strategic Solution Advisory, SAP Spend Management Host: Justin Morse – Vice President, Solution Advisory, SAP Americas, Spend Management ===== For companies that manufacture things, the supply chain is the lifeblood of the organization. Production lines must run with maximum efficiency to deliver high-quality products to their customers on-time and at a competitive cost. This means that the materials necessary for the final product must be procured from suppliers that can be trusted to consistently deliver with quality and speed to keep the production lines running. Procurement departments are often working off a different priority list, where low costs, low risks, better payment terms and more favorable contractual obligations are the main focus areas. So, how do we align the priorities of procurement with the needs of supply chain operations? Our guest today is fellow SAP Ariba Solution Advisor, Matt Donegan. Matt combines his background and education in Supply Chain Operations with his current role in advising customers in Procurement solutions to uncover the conflicting priorities that can create friction and risk in many manufacturing organizations. Having worked on both sides of the aisle, Matt brings a unique perspective on the tricky balancing act of managing cost, quality and timeliness across the supply chain that combines technology, collaboration and a human element that fosters good relationships and trust with your customers, your stakeholders and your suppliers. As technological, economic, political and environmental disruptions continue to strain global supply chains, having the right tools, processes and culture to weather the storm will be crucial for survival and will separate tomorrow’s successful companies from yesterday’s afterthoughts. What story will you write for the future of your company? So, let’s dive in, and don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe.

Episode 83: Silent Cyber War

In a world of silent cyber wars, ERPs sit at the center of risk and resilience. Discover how CIOs can design ERP as a crown jewel: assume breach, use AI wisely, and balance sovereignty, trust, and business continuity. ===== This episode dives into the “silent global war” on ERP, where cyber threats are constant, interconnected systems are fragile, and resilience is the new gold standard.

Managing Customer-Owned Encryption with the New Key Management Service | feat. Sascha Vierlinger

Niklas Siemer is joined by Sascha Vierlinger, Product Manager for SAP Key Management service, to unpack customer-owned encryption in cloud landscapes—and why more organizations want control of the “last layer” of trust: the keys. They walk through why encryption matters more in the cloud, the difference between SAP-managed vs. customer-managed keys, and what a modern Key Management Service (KMS) needs to deliver: secure key storage, lifecycle controls (enable/disable/delete), auditability, and operational safeguards like the four-eyes principle. The conversation also covers the classic “red button” scenario (cutting off access fast in an emergency), and how SAP’s new KMS is designed as a more scalable, central approach compared to the legacy SAP Data Custodian KMS. ⁠Download Episode Transcript⁠ In this episode, you'll learn: Why who controls the key is effectively who controls the data (especially in regulated industries).The three models for key control: Sub-managed keys, Bring Your Own Key (BYOK), and Hold Your Own Key (HYOK).What "key lifecycle" really means (rotation, disabling, deletion—and the very real risks).How SAP's new KMS supports stronger governance with audit logs and multi-party approvals.What to expect commercially (licensed product + connections) and how this fits with SAP BTP usage. ===== Useful Links Key Management Service Product DocumentationMore about GRC and cybersecurity Subscribe to the Unlocking SAP BTP Podcast: Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube ===== About the speakers: Sascha Vierlinger Product Manager, SAP Key Management Service Sascha is Product Manager for Key Management at SAP.
