• Keynote Session with Ivo Totev, Chief Operating Officer, SUSE

We live in unprecedented times where every organization faces new challenges including the increase in global, cybersecurity threats, and increasingly uncertain macroeconomics. In addition, supply chain issues and skill shortages reduce the ability of companies to keep innovating. Lowering costs and maximizing ROI have always been top priorities for executives. Rising interest rates make these priorities even more critical. Ivo Totev, SUSE’s Chief Operating Officer, will discuss how key partners of SAP provide innovative technologies to help benefit from the cloud and fully leverage SAP S/4HANA with the goal to drive business transformation and increase resilience.

• Economic Impact of Moving to SAP S/4HANA

Today more than ever, organizations need to grow revenue ahead of the market, reduce customer turnover and boost employee productivity. But that’s virtually impossible if you face obstacles like inadequate legacy systems or inflexible infrastructures that make it impossible to get the most out of your investment in SAP S/4HANA. Organizations moving to SAP S/4HANA search solutions make their SAP environments more stable, robust, and secure, as well as less maintenance-intensive. Get insights into how you can demonstrate, justify, and realize the tangible value of your IT. Learn from Intel and SUSE how to improve IT productivity, and reduce IT costs and revenue impact.

• SAP Operational Excellence: From day 0 to day 2

SAP projects, as any other IT Project, have different phases in their lifecycle from the plan to the extension

• • Day-0 stage covers the project plan and the design of SAP systems
  • Day-1 stage covers the installation and setup of the SAP systems
  • Day-2 stage covers the operation of the environment.

And in there will be a day when you will need to face the extension and/or the evolution of this SAP project. SUSE helps organizations to reach SAP Operational Excellence by reducing the costs and risks of the SAP operation from Day 0 to Day 2 and adding value on Day N+1 to expand the SAP environment
