Show Notes
Recorded live at the SAP Product Expert Training in St. Leon-Rot, this episode goes straight to the source: a real-world conversation with practitioners in the middle of customer implementations. Fernanda Rodrigues sits down with Joe Livezey, Global Head of Public Cloud Practice at Syntax, and Dennis Leslie, Head of the North American Product Success at SAP, to dig into two topics that matter a lot right now: parallel line strategy and Business AI adoption in SAP Cloud ERP. Dennis breaks down what parallel line actually is, why it's essential for any active implementation cycle, and how it protects your production environment. Joe shares concrete use cases from the field — from multi-division rollouts to data migration — and explains why merging back to the main line needs planning from day one. The conversation then shifts to AI: how Joule for Consultants is delivering 20%+ efficiency gains at Syntax, what SAP-managed Joule means for setup complexity, and where Joule Studio 2.0 and Joule Work are headed next. Honest feedback from customers included.

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. A conversa também aborda a realidade do mercado brasileiro, incluindo os desafios da reforma tributária, e os resultados concretos do Grow Fast já sendo implementado com sucesso no Brasil.

Recorded live at the SAP Product Expert Training in Germany, this episode tackles one of the most complex challenges in cloud ERP projects: who actually manages all those integrations? 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. Together they break down SAP-managed System Provisioning: what it means for partners and customers to hand over integration complexity to SAP, and why that shift matters for real projects. The conversation covers the two scenarios already live: Workforce Management (SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition + SuccessFactors Employee Central) and Managed Operational Procurement (SAP S/4HANA + Ariba) — plus the incoming Opportunity to Order with Sales Cloud V2. Michael brings real-project perspective on what actually gets simplified, and the group digs into the data flowing between systems, the Early Adopter Care program, and what it takes to get a spot before it goes GA.
