SAP Cloud ERP: Rethinking ERP for the AI-Native Era
Jan 30th, 2026 | 11 AM ET
SAP Cloud ERP is not like the SAP most people are familiar with. It represents a fundamentally different operating model for finance, operations, and IT. As SAP doubles down on cloud-first, AI-native capabilities, organizations are being forced to revisit long-standing assumptions. The assumptions about implementation control, extensibility, and total cost of ownership. At the same time, buyers must reconcile SAP’s opinionated best practices with the realities of legacy processes. They must also reconcile industry-specific needs and complex integration landscapes.
This webinar breaks down what SAP Cloud ERP really means for ERP strategy. What it also means for governance and day-to-day operations. You’ll see what you gain (and give up) with a standardized SaaS model. You will also see how AI, embedded analytics, and continuous release cycles change the ERP playbook for the next decade. Armed with this knowledge, you’ll walk away with practical evaluation criteria and implementation patterns. This will help decide if SAP Cloud ERP fits your roadmap—or if another path is better aligned to your business model.
