How Can We Tackle SoD Challenges in SAP S/4 HANA While Balancing Security and Operations

Moderator: Barun Kumar, Hexadius Consulting

For organisations using SAP, managing Segregation of Duties (SoD) is a big challenge—whether you're on SAP ECC or gearing up for a move to S/4HANA.

Fueling Agentic AI with Trusted SAP and Non-SAP Data

Moderator: Ram Tallavajhala, Boomi

AI is evolving fast, promising smarter and more autonomous decision-making. But for most businesses, there’s still a big hurdle: data. It’s often fragmented, ungoverned, and not always ready for AI’s full potential.

As AI becomes more critical to driving digital transformation, making sure your data is solid and reliable is more important than ever. The shift from static reporting to real-time, AI-driven decision-making is happening now, and if your data isn’t up to the task, it’s holding you back.

In this roundtable, we’ll dive into how to build a reliable data foundation for AI. We’ll explore how to connect SAP and non-SAP data, and how to innovate while keeping control and governance in check.

Key discussion points include:

  • How to link SAP and non-SAP data without making things more complicated
  • Governance strategies that balance flexibility and security
  • Moving from old-school reporting to real-time, AI-powered actions
  • Real-world lessons from building headless and composable data systems
  • Tackling the “garbage in, garbage out” challenge and how to get better results

With AI rapidly becoming a game-changer, now’s the time to make sure your data is ready for it. Whether you’re already working on AI or just starting to plan, come join the conversation, share what’s working, and figure out where there’s still room to improve.

The Finance Lead Path to SAP S/4HANA: Accelerate Transformation with an EPM-First Approach

Moderator: Daniel Viertel, CCH® Tagetik, Wolters Kluwer

As Finance takes the lead in enterprise transformation, many organizations are facing the question of how best to navigate the move to SAP S/4HANA. But rather than wait years for an ERP migration, could there be a smarter, more agile path forward? This roundtable invites Finance leaders to explore the benefits of an EPM-first approach—modernizing enterprise performance management to unlock immediate value, gain early exposure to HANA, and validate data models before embarking on full ERP transformation.

Join fellow Finance executives for a strategic conversation on how organizations are accelerating transformation while maintaining an SAP-centric roadmap. Together, we’ll examine different transformation paths, share lessons learned, and discuss how to build a compelling business case for EPM as a first step.

Key discussion points include: 

  • The evolving role of ERP and EPM in Finance transformation
  • Three strategic paths Finance leaders can take in 2025
  • How an EPM-first approach drives early wins and de-risks ERP migration
  • Building internal alignment and investment for an EPM-first strategy

Compliance Isn’t Enough: How Real-Time Threat Detection Closes Critical Security Gaps in SAP Applications

Moderators: Onno Coenen and Rajiv Reddy, SecurityBridge 

Most SAP-driven organisations believe their systems are protected. They have GRC, access controls, and compliance measures in place. So why are SAP systems still prime targets for cyberattacks? 

Because security isn’t just about who gets access—it’s about what happens after they’re inside. Attackers don’t need to break down the front door when they can move undetected within your SAP environment. Traditional security measures focus on prevention, but they don’t catch active threats in real time. By the time a breach is discovered, the financial, operational, and reputational damage is already done. 

A single undetected threat can mean: 

  • Millions lost in operational downtime: SAP system standstills disrupt supply chains, finance, and production. 
  • Escalating financial and regulatory risks: Fines, lawsuits, and non-compliance penalties add up fast. 
  • Compromised business-critical data: From intellectual property theft to fraudulent transactions. 

In this roundtable we’ll break down real-world attack scenarios, expose the risks that standard SAP security misses, and show how real-time threat detection is the missing layer between compliance and true cyber resilience. If your organisation depends on SAP, you can’t afford to be blind to these risks. 

Why Attend? 

  • See real-world attacks in action—and how to detect them before they cause damage. 
  • Understand the true cost of SAP breaches—from downtime to compliance failures. 
  • Learn how real-time threat detection works—practical strategies to protect your bottom line.
