    TechEd #2 From Cloud ERP to Autonomous Enterprise: What SAP Partners Are Already Building

    Recorded live on the main stage at SAP TechEd Berlin — and a historic first for Inside SAP Cloud ERP. This is the show's debut as a video podcast at TechEd, on a new series on the road to the autonomous enterprise. Watch the video podcast at TechEd's page: ⁠SAP TechEd Virtual - Session Catalog⁠ https://www.sap.com/events/teched/virtual/flow/sap/tev26/catalog/page/catalog/session/1792537932640001WPhv Joining the conversation are Florian Häußler, CEO of Innovabee, and Tom Cenens, SAP Mentor and Director at Amista, two partners who work daily with customers navigating the reality of AI-driven transformation. Does the autonomous enterprise resonate with customers? Florian shares a live production use case from the food manufacturing industry — using SAP AI Core to automate lab result processing into SAP Quality Management, with the human still in the loop. Tom walks through how AI is being used to handle incoming customer and supplier emails, draft replies, and avoid the kind of AI mishaps that erode trust fast. The conversation also covers Tom's candid, unfiltered feedback to SAP R&D executives at TechEd, how Florian is navigating AI adoption as a leader and people manager, and what both guests honestly think the SAP ecosystem will look like in 3 to 5 years. Plus: rapid-fire questions, the one thing to pack for the autonomous enterprise journey, and what it really means to build things that matter.

    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.

    PET 2026 #9: Clean Data Before AI: What SAP Cloud ERP Projects Need with Cpro

    Recorded live at the SAP Product Expert Training in St. Leon-Rot, Germany, this episode brings candid partner insights straight from the event floor — no slides, no script, just real talk about what makes SAP Cloud ERP implementations succeed or fail. Fernanda Rodrigues sits down with Henrik Voss, Lead Consultant and Finance Team Lead at Cpro Industry Projects & Solutions GmbH, and Robert Nickl, Project Manager and Solution Architect at the same firm. Together, they share the top lessons learned from mid-market manufacturing implementations of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. The conversation gets right to the point: cloud ERP is a change project, not an IT project — and more than half of a successful implementation comes down to the customer and how the project is managed. Henrik and Robert also unpack why overloading Phase 1 scope is one of the most common mistakes partners see, why data migration needs to start far earlier than most teams plan for, and why clean, consolidated data is the non-negotiable foundation before any AI initiative can deliver real value. The episode closes with a refreshingly honest take on what it means to be a consultant in a world where SAP is always two steps ahead.

    PET 2026 #8: From ERP Migration to Real Business Transformation

    Recorded live at the SAP Product Expert Training in St. Leon-Rot, this episode features Paul Byrne, ERP veteran and Business Project Manager at Dragon ERP, joining host Yannick on International Podcast Day for a candid conversation about where the industry is headed — and what's holding organizations back. With 30+ years in the ERP world, Paul shares why he's more excited about technology today than at any point in his career. He and Yannick unpack SAP's vision for the Autonomous Enterprise — what Paul calls "Industry 6.0" — and explore how AI agents are already delivering real business value, from real-time inventory reallocation to streamlined decision-making. The conversation goes beyond the hype: why clean data still depends on human judgment, why moving to cloud ERP without true business transformation is just an expensive migration, and how tools like Joule and SAP Signavio are changing the user experience.

    Gravado durante o Product Expert Training da SAP na Alemanha, este episódio traz uma conversa franca sobre como o modelo Grow Fast está transformando as implementações do SAP Cloud ERP. A host Fernanda Rodrigues recebe Marcos Lontra, da SAP, Felipe Requião e Ricardo Lóra, da Numen IT — parceira SAP com operações no Brasil, nos EUA e na Europa. Juntos, percorrem a evolução das implementações de ERP em nuvem ao longo dos anos, o que tornou o modelo Grow Fast possível e como a adoção de best practices e o clean core são a base para ir ao ar entre 8 e 16 semanas. Mas o grande diferencial hoje é a IA: com o Joule for Consultants, a Numen IT reduziu em 80% o esforço com documentação.

    PET 2026 #6: SAP-managed System Provisioning: Overview and Early Adopter Insights feat. teamative

    Recorded live at the SAP Product Expert Training in Germany, this episode tackles one of the most complex challenges in cloud ERP projects: who actually manages all those integrations? Host Yannick Peterschmitt is joined by Shivani Arali from SAP Product Management, Michael Wuertz, Senior Manager at SAP partner teamative, and Voicu Ganga from Cloud Customer EMEA. Together they break down SAP-managed System Provisioning: what it means for partners and customers to hand over integration complexity to SAP, and why that shift matters for real projects. The conversation covers the two scenarios already live: Workforce Management (SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition + SuccessFactors Employee Central) and Managed Operational Procurement (SAP S/4HANA + Ariba) — plus the incoming Opportunity to Order with Sales Cloud V2. Michael brings real-project perspective on what actually gets simplified, and the group digs into the data flowing between systems, the Early Adopter Care program, and what it takes to get a spot before it goes GA.
