Don't Wait: Why AI Should Pay for Your SAP Transformation, Not Follow It

1.55pm – 2.25pm, 15 September 2026 ‐ 30 mins

Partner Session

Most SAP transformations plan to finish the go-live, then turn AI on. This is, increasingly, the wrong way around. The transformation itself is where AI is now delivering early and meaningful returns - to understand the landscape, reduce complexity, identify automation opportunities, strengthen the business case and start delivering value before the target architecture is fully in place.

This session explores where AI can create practical value across today’s SAP estates, whether the organisation is still on ECC, moving to RISE, planning S/4HANA or already part-way through modernisation. Chris Beard from LemonGrass will look at how AI can accelerate assessment, support simplification, surface early business use cases and help transformation programmes move from long-range promise to near-term value.

Attendees will leave with a clearer view of how to start using AI now without waiting for every SAP milestone to complete and how those early wins can build momentum for the wider transformation.
