Recorded live at the SAP Product Expert Training in St. Leon-Rot, Germany, this episode brings candid partner insights straight from the event floor — no slides, no script, just real talk about what makes SAP Cloud ERP implementations succeed or fail. Fernanda Rodrigues sits down with Henrik Voss, Lead Consultant and Finance Team Lead at Cpro Industry Projects & Solutions GmbH, and Robert Nickl, Project Manager and Solution Architect at the same firm. Together, they share the top lessons learned from mid-market manufacturing implementations of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. The conversation gets right to the point: cloud ERP is a change project, not an IT project — and more than half of a successful implementation comes down to the customer and how the project is managed. Henrik and Robert also unpack why overloading Phase 1 scope is one of the most common mistakes partners see, why data migration needs to start far earlier than most teams plan for, and why clean, consolidated data is the non-negotiable foundation before any AI initiative can deliver real value. The episode closes with a refreshingly honest take on what it means to be a consultant in a world where SAP is always two steps ahead.

Recorded live at the SAP Product Expert Training in St. Leon-Rot, this episode features Paul Byrne, ERP veteran and Business Project Manager at Dragon ERP, joining host Yannick on International Podcast Day for a candid conversation about where the industry is headed — and what's holding organizations back. With 30+ years in the ERP world, Paul shares why he's more excited about technology today than at any point in his career. He and Yannick unpack SAP's vision for the Autonomous Enterprise — what Paul calls "Industry 6.0" — and explore how AI agents are already delivering real business value, from real-time inventory reallocation to streamlined decision-making. The conversation goes beyond the hype: why clean data still depends on human judgment, why moving to cloud ERP without true business transformation is just an expensive migration, and how tools like Joule and SAP Signavio are changing the user experience.

Gravado durante o Product Expert Training da SAP na Alemanha, este episódio traz uma conversa franca sobre como o modelo Grow Fast está transformando as implementações do SAP Cloud ERP. A host Fernanda Rodrigues recebe Marcos Lontra, da SAP, Felipe Requião e Ricardo Lóra, da Numen IT — parceira SAP com operações no Brasil, nos EUA e na Europa. Juntos, percorrem a evolução das implementações de ERP em nuvem ao longo dos anos, o que tornou o modelo Grow Fast possível e como a adoção de best practices e o clean core são a base para ir ao ar entre 8 e 16 semanas. Mas o grande diferencial hoje é a IA: com o Joule for Consultants, a Numen IT reduziu em 80% o esforço com documentação.

Host Yannick Peterschmitt is joined by Shivani Arali from SAP Product Management, Michael Wuertz, Senior Manager at SAP partner teamative, and Voicu Ganga from Cloud Customer EMEA.

In this special episode recorded live from the SAP offices in St. Leon-Rot, Germany, host Yannick Peterschmitt kicks off the H2 2026 Product Expert Training with two distinguished guests: Sven Denecken, former SAP executive now advising independently, and Alexander Greb, Senior Vice President at All for One. The conversation explores why structured product enablement remains the cornerstone of successful SAP Cloud ERP transformations. Sven reflects two decades of shaping these training programs and how the exchange between engineering, partners, and customers creates real outcomes. Alexander shares his perspective on the evolving role of SAP consultants — moving from companions back to true advisors who bring a clear picture of how businesses should operate today. The discussion then turns to European market trends, with manufacturing and regulated industries increasingly embracing SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. Both guests address the public vs. private cloud debate, the importance of standardization balanced with extensibility via SAP BTP, and the role of methodologies like SAP Activate. On AI, they offer pragmatic advice: distinguish between commodity processes (optimize for efficiency with agentic automation) and differentiating processes (optimize for effectiveness and insight-to-action).
