Customer Success Manager for #SAPBTP - Passionate about Customer Success in the Cloud | Views are my own
9. + 10. November 2023, Munich Urban Colab
Next in my journey as Customer Success Partner for SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), I had the pleasure to help with the organisation of our recent SAP Customer Success Day and to join onsite and support the event execution! We had a full packed agenda with amazing speakers!
Susanne Vollhardt was a wonderful moderator of the SAP Customer Success Day. Carsten Kress is welcoming the audience and together, they kicked off the event.
During his SAP Executive Keynote, Michael Bain gave away a private story about how a tour guide gives him confidence when climbing in the Rocky Mountians - and how we Customer Success Partners are our customers' guide during their journey to the Cloud as well as during their transformation to a Future Ready Enterprise.
Sven Schweden provided insights into how SAP BTP is unlocking potential in Henkel's RISE with SAP transformation journey. In 1992, HENKEL started their SAP journey, their so called "digital leapfrog"-SAP-partnership. Today, 70 SAP BTP ambassadors and 50 SAP BTP developers form a Center of Excellence collaborating closely with their SAP Customer Success Partners, i.e., Armin Guenter for SAP BTP.
Nils Krugmann had his "Eyes on the Stars", when navigating Commerz Real AG 's transformation journey from hosted SAP services to RISE with SAP. A brownfield approach has up- and downsides... After a successful go live, SAP BTP showed its first additional values as simplified data access and reporting.
Do you know why you should get started with SAP BTP today, and not tomorrow? Laura Hochwind from Siemens and Dr. Mojgan Kowsari from Lufthansa Technik shared their experience and insights during a panel discussion with my colleagues Jan Bungert , Duygu Serbes , and Andreas Fütterer . Value added adoption and consumption is key for our customers to be successful in the cloud!
Bastian Kloiber , Director S/4HANA Transformation at Bosch Digital, has shared impressive insights into "one of the most challenging SAP S/4HANA transformations worldwide in terms of size and complexity“ - targeting 200.000 users, 250 plants, 11.000 interfaces and 700 legal entities.
After a networking break, we conducted five SAP breakout sessions around RISE with SAP and the SAP Business Technology Platform. Breakout sessions are highly appreciated by our customers and a focal part of our SAP Customer Success Days.
"Enterprise Automation“ – Accelerate your Path to the Autonomous Enterprise. - with André Borchert and Evgenii Gorbunov

S/4HANA goes Mobile on SAP Business Technology Platform - with Thorsten Stephan
Gen AI powered by SAP Business Technology Platform - with Tobias Knietzsch , Jens Oliver Dirnberger , Marius Thiry
RISE with SAP-Strategy - with Vinay V
These five inspiring breakout sessions gave our customers a lot of food for thought. Carsten Kress and Jesper Waaben wrapped-up the day very well. Most got together for dinner afterwards and discussed best practises for business transformation and the "Clean Core"-Strategy. But of course, we also networked over beer and pretzel!
DAY 2
The second day started with a welcome to the audience by Susanne Vollhardt , who handed over to Michael Kern , Executive Board Member & COO at sovanta . He shared during his #SAPPartner Keynote "No Transformation without Innovation! – Leading towards Success by Combining SAP BTP, RISE with SAP, and the sovanta Innovation Factory" how sovanta can support our customers' business transformation and drive adoption of innovation!
The rest of the day way dedicated to hands-on experience in breakout sessions by SAP and our valued SAP Partners adesso SE, Solace, and sovanta AG.
