Red Hat at SAPinsider EMEA 2022

Abstract: Customers are dealing with the ever-increasing pace of change of new product cycles, new competitors and unforeseen political and economic crises. To succeed customers seek competitive advantages in selected areas as the basis for their strategy.

At the same time organizations must become more cost efficient in order to protect your margin. The ability to adapt and take advantage of new technological options is critical to the success of the business.

Speaker:  Wolfgang Bausch, Global Head of SAP Business, Red Hat

Abstract: No matter where you are in your IT modernization journey, an automation strategy at scale will improve existing processes so you can save time, accelerate innovation, improve employee satisfaction, and reduce costs throughout your organization. For SAP customers this is even more relevant as they move to SAP S/4HANA while also moving to Public Cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure which means that automation is essential to realise the benefits of both platforms. Red Hat and Microsoft will showcase the joint SAP on Azure automation proposition that completely automates SAP deployment and operations on Azure using Red Hat’s market leading Ansible Automation Platform.

Abstract: The Digital Enterprise needs a high level of integration because of the heterogeneity of the solutions that live in the IT landscape. SAP workloads need to be able to communicate seamlessly with new SAP applications but also with legacy components and many other non SAP products in order to constitute a robust and well performing ecosystem. Red Hat Integration allows for this to happen using APIs that can be easily managed, providing message queuing solutions, serverless integration, change data capture for event driven scenarios and many other features.

Speakers: Gokhan Diren, Sr. Solution Architect, Red Hat EMEA Alliances, SAP

Abstract: SAP and non SAP worlds are colliding.  The move to SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA have two different streams; the shift to the digital core ‘and’ the modernization and integration of applications, which can start and run in parallel. So what does this mean for your SAP-powered enterprise?
