Advancing the Autonomous Enterprise: Less Chat. More Act. Guided by Fact.
Are you under pressure to turn AI into real, visible ROI — without adding more sprawl, risk, or complexity?
SAP’s Autonomous Enterprise vision points to a new operating model: people set direction, Joule coordinates work, and AI assistants and agents execute defined tasks across business processes in a reliable, responsible way. This session shows how to move beyond chat by choosing the right processes, grounding AI in trusted data, and governing agents at enterprise scale — so you can become the quiet hero who moves AI from hype to progress leadership can see, trust, and scale.
Key Takeaways:
Move beyond AI pilots and chat experiences by applying AI to drive measurable business-process outcomes.
Use Joule, assistants, and agents to boost productivity while maintaining clear human oversight and governance.
Focus on trusted data, process context, and high-impact use cases to deliver scalable results leadership can see and trust.

Hosted by QyrusAI: Reducing SAP Transformation Risk with QyrusAI Intelligent Testing
For leaders accountable for SAP ECC to S/4HANA transformation, testing is a business readiness challenge: the organization must establish that critical processes will operate correctly across changed applications, data, interfaces, and user experiences before committing to go-live.
This session examines how the broader Qyrus testing offering addresses that challenge, connecting SAP testing with validation across web, mobile, APIs, and data to support complete business journeys throughout transformation and subsequent releases.
An opening audience discussion will surface familiar constraints, including slow regression cycles, uncertain change impact, test data bottlenecks, brittle scripts, limited specialist availability, and fragmented coverage, establishing a practical basis for evaluating where intelligent automation can make a meaningful difference.
We will connect these challenges to Qyrus capabilities for test strategy and impact analysis, AI-assisted test creation, linked data preparation, reusable regression, smoke testing, orchestration, and execution evidence, explaining how offerings including Agentic Regression for SAP, DataChain, SAP Scribe, Healer, and Assure fit within an enterprise testing approach.
A feature demonstration and customer case study will illustrate selected capabilities in action, helping participants examine the starting problem, implementation approach, observed results, and relevance to their own SAP landscape rather than relying on feature lists or generalized automation claims.
Program owners, transformation leaders, and other decision makers will leave with a framework for identifying suitable use cases, aligning stakeholders around business outcomes, and defining measurable evaluation criteria for effort, reliability, process coverage, and readiness, while preserving the essential roles of functional expertise, business acceptance, and disciplined governance in decisions about adoption and scale.
In this session, you will:
Identify testing constraints that threaten SAP transformation schedules, business continuity, and go-live readiness.
Connect common testing challenges to Qyrus capabilities across planning, test creation, data preparation, execution, and reporting.
Evaluate how intelligent automation can reduce repetitive work while extending validation across SAP and connected applications.
Examine a feature demonstration and customer case study for lessons relevant to your transformation program.
Define a focused evaluation use case with measurable criteria for effort, reliability, business process coverage, and readiness.
Align program sponsors, process owners, and quality teams around the evidence needed to make informed adoption and release decisions.

Hosted by Medius: AP Automation Across a Multi-ERP Environment Including SAP
Running AP across multiple ERP systems isn’t an edge case — for many enterprise finance teams, it’s the reality. Different entities, different systems, and the expectation that AP runs consistently across all of them.
In this session, hear directly from a Medius customer on their financial transformation journey: how they brought accounts payable automation to a complex, multi-ERP environment that includes SAP — without ripping out existing systems, without lengthy implementations, and without asking the business to change how it operates.
They’ll walk through what the challenge looked like before Medius, why they chose a best-of-breed AP automation approach over ERP-native tooling, and what the results have looked like in practice — from touchless processing rates and invoice cycle times to the visibility and controls their finance leadership now relies on.
For SAP practitioners navigating ERP complexity, mixed technology landscapes, or the question of where AP automation fits in a clean core strategy, this is a session grounded in real decisions, real implementation experience, and real outcomes.
What you’ll take away:
How Medius integrates natively across SAP and non-SAP ERP environments simultaneously
What best-of-breed AP automation delivers that ERP-native tooling doesn’t
A practical framework for evaluating AP automation in a multi-ERP organization
