We help the world’s largest SAP-run organizations manage continuous and complex change with Intelligent Change Management (ICM) software – no matter where you are on your journey. 

86% of enterprises now say SAP change is critical to competitive advantage, according to The SAP Change Management Index 2025. Yet too often, SAP change is still viewed as the bottleneck – a slow, cautious process that slows innovation.  

That’s no longer sustainable. Your ability to move fast, reduce risk, and deliver continuous SAP change is now a board-level priority – and the defining challenge for SAP leaders in 2025. 

Learn from the data. Hear from the experts. 

Join us for an in-depth session that explores how leading SAP teams are adapting to this new pressure and breaking free from slow, manual methods to deliver change at the speed of business. 

Our panel of SAP experts will have a candid discussion about how to shift SAP change from a slowing force into a growth engine – using intelligent automation, real-time insights, and modern governance to keep pace with market demands. 

Why This Matters Now 
The research findings are clear – but the opportunity is even clearer. 

48% of SAP leaders say business request-to-delivery timelines are shrinking. 
41% are under pressure to deliver ROI faster. 
59% plan to adopt AI to automate manual change processes. 

SAP teams that are modernizing now are transforming change from a reactive IT process into a strategic driver of innovation and growth.
