Reflections on an Inspiring #DSAGJK24: Transformation & Direct Spend in Focus

I’m still full of energy and positive impressions of this year’s #DSAGJK24 with over 5,000 participants - an impressive community of business users, transformation experts and decision-makers, providing numerous inspiring insights.

It was especially impressive to hear from top players of different industries about their successful business transformations and value creation through the right use of applications & technology in the areas of #IntelligentSpend&Business Networks and #DirectSpend

Highlights included:

  • BMW Group about seamless Processes & Systems in Direct Procurement – how a hybrid S/4HANA Landscape can map the entire product lifecycle
  • Deutsche Bahn AG on implementation of End-to-End Supplier Management with SAP Ariba SLP & SAP MDG – managed as a real business transformation
  • DEUTZ AG: real-time logistics transparency and collaboration – how to achieve Efficiency and Stability through the SAP Business Network
  • Festool how to increase their supply chain transparency with their suppliers leveraging the SAP Business Network
  • OMV how they continually create value in the digital transformation of procurement with SAP Ariba, Select Best-in-class, and Artificial Intelligence
  • Swiss Federal Railway about their experiences with SAP in their core process “Enterprise Asset Maintenance and Asset Collaboration”

My takeaways:

  1. The SAP product portfolio for both indirect & direct procurement and supply chain is very relevant and offers huge benefits for our Customers
  2. Now, it’s on SAP and the Partners to support our Customers to achieve long-term success and scale further - with deep industry- and transformation expertise and delivering continuous innovations
  3. Industry communities, user groups, and roundtables will play a crucial role on this journey

A heartfelt thank you and see you soon,

Dietmar
