In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, IT departments face mounting pressure to keep pace with ever-changing business demands. Traditional integration methods are increasingly proving inadequate in complex, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments. Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) offers a transformative approach that enhances flexibility and agility, enabling real-time supply chains, immediate business insights and personalised customer experiences.
 
During this session, you'll explore the fundamental principles of becoming event-driven and discover how this approach transforms operations with real-time responsiveness, together with industry expert Christian Holtfurth from Solace. Learn how EDA provides a scalable, future-ready platform to drive efficiency, improve decision-making and enhance customer engagement whilst addressing the critical challenge of IT system agility and real-time information access that organisations across the UK are grappling with today.
 
Ian Daniel from SAP will also explain how he thinks the three new SAP products help Enterprise Architects. He will cover SAP Business Data Cloud, SAP’s Integrated Toolchain for Business Transformation Management and WalkMe and show how they empower Enterprise Architects to simplify complexity and accelerate business transformation.
 
The enterprise architects of today's SAP world are increasingly being challenged with the need for platform modernisation in response to unlocking the latest capabilities and innovations to deliver business advantage. Callum Bromley, SAP Solution Architect from BAE Systems, will introduce the significance of platforms such as SAP BTP as a prominent fixture in the SAP estate of tomorrow and how you, as an EA, can begin to understand the route towards a future vision of your enterprise.
