👻 You made it to go-live. Now what? For 36% of live organizations, the top support need is figuring out where and how to apply SAP Business AI, Joule, and AI agents. For 31%, it's knowing which S/4HANA capabilities to adopt next. And it does not matter how long you have been live—the need for AI guidance is consistent across S/4 Newcomers and Pros alike. Go-live changes the questions, not the pressure. The full story is in our 2026 S/4HANA Research Report: bit.ly/4itG72N

Most companies didn’t set out to build a hybrid strategy; their operations produced it anyway. Manufacturing data lives on the factory floor, but SaaS applications like SAP Concur and SAP Ariba only run in the cloud. Ultimately, enterprise strategy ended up following the reality. @Intel explored what that means for @SAP modernization in a five-part video series produced with ASUG at SAP Sapphire & ASUG Annual Conference 2026. The conversations cover the control and cost questions, as well as the implications of infrastructure choices for AI readiness. Five interviews. One page. Check it out here: bit.ly/4r98h5Q

The utilities industry is being reshaped by forces that did not exist at scale just a few years ago. AI adoption, surging data center demand, and the pace of electrification are creating new strategic questions that most utilities are still working out how to answer. What enterprise capabilities do you actually need to lead in this kind of environment? What choices are on the table, and what are the tradeoffs? @KPMG's Brad Stansberry and Adrian Leaf bring a grounded perspective to those questions in a new conversation with ASUG, drawing on their work with the KPMG Energy Orchestrator series.
