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. 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.

This session is specifically designed for Enterprise Architects working with SAP landscapes, Integration Architects managing complex system environments, SAP Technical Leaders responsible for system strategy, IT Directors overseeing digital transformation initiatives, and Solution Architects dealing with multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
