BTP Symposium 2026

Many organisations think they need entirely new platforms to begin their AI journey. In reality, much of the data needed to power meaningful AI initiatives already exists within SAP. This session explores how SAP serves as the critical system of record that enables enterprise AI strategies, rather than acting as the AI platform itself.

Many organisations are investing in AI, but far fewer are turning pilots into operational business value. In SAP-led environments, the challenge is not access to models; it is trust, control and execution. This session explores why enterprise AI adoption often stalls at the point where it needs to connect to real business process, and how organisations can close the gap between insight and action through governed architecture, grounded business context and practical use cases.

   

This session shows how organisations can modernise their SAP landscape by embedding content directly into SAP processes and improving the flow of information across their systems. Attendees will learn how effective archiving reduces data footprint, enhances compliance and strengthens SAP performance, critical foundations for S/4HANA and cloud ready transformation.

Many SAP estates still rely on tightly coupled IDoc, RFC and batch integrations that limit agility, visibility and AI readiness. Using a global consumer goods case study, this session shows how SAP BTP helps teams modernise legacy interfaces, introduce event-driven patterns, improve monitoring and put AI to work in a grounded, operational way.

Key Takeaways

You'll leave the day equipped to:

• Modernise without disruption — extend your SAP landscape using BTP without touching your clean core

• Make AI operational — move beyond the pilot stage and close the gap between AI insight and real business action
• Future-proof your integrations — replace brittle IDoc and batch interfaces with event-driven patterns that support agility and AI readiness
• Strengthen SAP performance — use smart archiving and content management to reduce data footprint and improve compliance
• Learn from those doing it now — take inspiration from Capita, Sysco and others who are innovating on BTP today
