SAP Spring Events 2026

If your SAP core isn’t steady, nothing else sticks. Attend this session to see how Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a consistent, disciplined foundation for running SAP systems reliably through change. You will learn how to: -Standardize SAP environments using consistent Red Hat Enterprise Linux builds to enable steadier day-2 operations and reduce configuration drift. -Establish migration-safe maintenance rhythms that improve reliability while minimizing downtime during change. -Apply practical high availability and disaster recovery patterns that balance resilience with operational simplicity. -Identify where targeted, light automation delivers measurable time and cost savings by reducing outage windows before, during, and after SAP migrations.

As SAP landscapes become more complex and hybrid, teams are under pressure to modernize integrations and operating models without destabilizing systems that must remain available and compliant. This session examines how integration modernization and operational readiness can be sequenced using Red Hat as a stable runtime foundation, enabling teams to move away from legacy middleware without introducing unnecessary risk or architectural sprawl. Attendees will learn how to: -Establish and maintain operational stability as integration architectures evolve, ensuring readiness before change and resilience during modernization. -Apply clear decision criteria for targeted automation, focusing on where automation reduces downtime and operational risk during migration and cutover activities. -Shift integration and orchestration responsibilities away from PI/PO-style middleware, using edge-based patterns that preserve a clean SAP core and support SAP BTP adoption. -Translate demonstrated patterns into action, using reusable checklists and decision templates to guide integration and operational decisions in complex, hybrid SAP environments.

As organizations look to expand SAP business value with AI, many struggle to balance innovation with clean-core integrity, governance, and operational risk. This session introduces a side-by-side architecture enabled by the Red Hat–SAP partnership that allows AI capabilities to run alongside SAP, delivering real-time, governed outcomes without modifying the ERP core.
