IG SAP Switzerland Event at Google Zurich: A Day Full of Insights and Inspiration 🚀 Founded in 2008, IG SAP Switzerland is an independent initiative within the SAP community, representing 139 members with a collective SAP license sum of approximately 𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗛𝗙. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending their event hosted at the stunning Google Zurich campus. Here are my key takeaways: • 𝗦𝗔𝗣 𝗛𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻: Real-world AI use cases took center stage. It was fascinating to see tangible applications of AI and I believe SAP should organize more of these hands-on events! 💪 • Presentations: • Legal constraints around AI usage in SAP environments • Insights into migrations to 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺—with and without 𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗘 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗔𝗣 • Customer stories: Connecting 𝗼𝗻-𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗔𝗣 𝗘𝗖𝗖 systems to 𝗦𝗔𝗣 𝗕𝗧𝗣 and leveraging Generative AI • RISE contract negotiations: A deep dive into financial, legal, and technical challenges And of course, the true star of the show: 𝗮 𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗳𝗳𝘆 𝗰𝘂𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲 that added a fun and interactive touch to the discussions! 🎤 Beyond the sessions, the event stood out for its: • 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and cinema-style ambiance 🎥 • 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱—Google Zurich knows how to host! 🍽️ • 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: I reconnected with familiar faces and made some exciting new connections within the SAP ecosystem. What I valued most were the 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 customers shared, detailing the challenges they faced and overcame to complete their projects successfully. Events like these remind me of the power of community and shared learning. 🌟 𝗪𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁? 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂?

𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗘 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗽? 👱♂️ As someone deeply entrenched in the SAP ecosystem, I've been following the "𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗘 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗔𝗣" movement closely. SAP has been sharing some impressive customer success stories lately, highlighting the benefits of transitioning to RISE. However, if we take a closer look, these stories often resemble 𝗦𝗔𝗣'𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 more than they do real-life experiences. 🤔 But where are the 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀? The unfiltered, unpolished experiences from customers who've made the leap to "RISE with SAP"? 🧐 I've been speaking with fellow experts in the SAP field, and I've come across some concerning reports. Stories of 𝗱𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀, and even cases where customers ended up in unsupported environments due to incompatible patches—issues that aren't being discussed publicly. 🚨 For organizations that have previously outsourced to experienced managed service providers, the transition to "RISE with SAP" might bring 𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀. After all, SAP only began offering this service in 2021. While SAP is a titan in the ERP world, the nuances of managed services are a different beast altogether, and their experience in this domain is still growing. ⚙️ So, I’m genuinely curious and would love to hear from those who have firsthand experience with RISE. What has your journey been like? What aspects have been 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲, where have you faced 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 and what 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 you?
