From first concept to final retirement, every application tells a story and how well you manage that journey makes all the difference.
Our Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Community brings together SAP professionals, project leaders and technical experts to share knowledge, tackle challenges and shape best practice across the full application lifecycle. Whether you're navigating requirements, gathering software development, testing, deployment or end-of-life planning, this is the space where real-world experience meets collective insight.
This Roundtable is led by community chairs from A.P. Moller – Maersk and Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, our ALM community reflects the rich diversity of industries and perspectives that make our SAP network stronger. Together, we explore how to align people, processes and tools to deliver applications that truly serve business objectives — on time, on budget and built to last.
What you'll find here:
- Expert-led discussions on SAP ALM strategies, tools and frameworks
- Peer insights from professionals across sectors and organisation sizes
- Resources to support governance, compliance and continuous improvement
- A collaborative space to learn, contribute and grow together
Join the conversation and share your experiences. We encourage open and honest discussions, and we want you to bring your questions, ideas, and experiences to the table.
