Discover the key themes of SAP Sapphire 2026 — AI, Cloud ERP, and resilient Supply Chain — and understand how they impact business operations.
The themes shaping
SAP Sapphire Orlando 2026 is approaching, bringing an agenda that clearly reflects today’s business priorities: Artificial Intelligence, Cloud ERP, and the development of more resilient supply chains.
More than trends, these themes represent structural decisions that directly impact how organizations operate, grow, and respond to increasingly complex environments.
Applied AI: from promise to execution
Artificial Intelligence is expected to play a central role at the event — no longer as a concept, but as a practical application within business processes.
The discussion has evolved.
The question is no longer whether AI will be adopted, but how to integrate it consistently into operations, ensuring real gains in efficiency and decision quality.
This involves challenges such as:
- Data availability and quality
- System integration
- Applying AI to critical flows such as planning and execution
This is where the conversation becomes relevant: how to turn AI into operational results, rather than isolated initiatives.
Cloud ERP as the foundation for scalability and integration
Another central pillar of Sapphire is Cloud ERP, especially in the context of S/4HANA migration and the need for more modern, integrated architectures.
The move to the cloud is not just technological — it redefines how companies structure their processes, governance, and ability to adapt.
Key discussion points include:
- Architecture simplification
- Integration with other SAP solutions such as IBP, BTP, and Analytics
- Greater agility in system evolution
The challenge, once again, lies in execution: how to drive this transformation in a structured way aligned with business objectives.
Resilient Supply Chain: a strategic priority
At the same time, Supply Chain continues to gain relevance, particularly from a resilience perspective.
Demand volatility, supply disruptions, and pressure for efficiency require a more integrated approach between planning and execution.
In this context, the focus is on:
- More accurate and dynamic planning
- End-to-end visibility
- Integration across functions and systems
- Faster response to change
Building a resilient supply chain depends not only on technology, but on how processes and decisions are connected.
From theme to application: Exed’s role at SAP Sapphire
Throughout SAP Sapphire Orlando, these themes will be widely discussed.
However, the key point for each company is understanding how they apply to its specific reality.
This connection between strategy and operations is exactly where Exed operates.
During the event, our specialists will focus on:
- Understanding each company’s context
- Translating Sapphire’s key themes into operational reality
- Discussing viable paths forward, based on practical experience
More than following trends, the goal is to support decision-making — with clarity on priorities, sequencing, and business impact.
An agenda that demands decisions
SAP Sapphire 2026 will not be just a space for technology updates, but a relevant moment for strategic reflection.
AI, Cloud ERP, and resilient Supply Chain are already on companies’ agendas.
The real differentiator lies in how these initiatives are structured and executed.
For those attending in Orlando, the opportunity is clear: turning content into practical direction.
And that conversation starts at the event.
