Deploying and maximizing AI agent impact with SAP Signavio

AI agents promise transformative benefits for business processes, but uncertainty often overshadows their potential. Where can agents deliver the highest impact? How to ensure they work as intended? How to measure their business impact?

If these questions resonate with you, join us to discover how SAP Signavio solutions cut through the noise and support your path to AI agent excellence.

In this engaging session, we'll explore how SAP Signavio helps you:

  • Discover the highest-impact opportunities for AI agent implementation.

Governing AI Agents at Scale with the SAP AI Agent Hub

The agentic enterprise is no longer a vision — it's already running across your organization. But as AI agents proliferate across SAP and non-SAP systems, a critical question emerges: how do you maintain oversight, accountability, and compliance at scale?

The SAP AI Agent Hub, built on LeanIX, serves as the central control plane for your AI agent landscape. It provides a structured inventory of every agent in your portfolio — capturing what each agent does, which business capabilities it supports, what data and systems it touches, who owns it, and how autonomously it operates. Risk classification and compliance policy enforcement are built in, giving enterprise architects and risk officers the audit trail that regulators and executives demand.

From discovery to runtime governance, the Agent Hub brings the full AI agent lifecycle under architectural control — across SAP and beyond.

Accelerate innovation and de-risk change with continuous quality assurance

De-Risk Your ERP Transformation

Part 1: Accelerate innovation and de-risk change with continuous quality assurance

Organizations invest heavily in transformation, yet many struggle to realize the expected business value. As the pace of change accelerates, transformation debt grows - driven by limited risk visibility, reactive testing, and late discovery of performance and stability issues. To close this gap, organizations must embed continuous quality assurance across the entire transformation lifecycle.

In this session, learn how SAP Enterprise Application Quality Assurance solutions by Tricentis enable an integrated, end-to-end quality assurance across SAP and non-SAP landscapes - helping teams focus testing on what matters most to the business, reduce unnecessary test effort, and prevent costly defects before they reach production. The result is higher delivery efficiency, faster time-to-value, reduced operational costs, and a measurable improvement in transformation ROI.

Deliver Business-Ready Data and De-Risk ERP Transformations with SAP ADMM by Syniti

De-Risk Your ERP Transformation

Part 2: Deliver Business-Ready Data and De-Risk ERP Transformations with SAP ADMM by Syniti

ERP transformations depend on more than simply technology decisions - they depend on the quality, consistency, and readiness of the data that powers the business. Yet many programs struggle with poor legacy data quality, fragmented migration approaches, late data validation, and limited governance, resulting in delays, rework, and elevated delivery risk.

To close this gap, organisations must treat data as a strategic transformation asset and embed automation, governance, and quality controls across the entire migration lifecycle as an integrated part of the SAP Toolchain approach.

In this session, learn how SAP Advanced Data Migration & Management (ADMM) by Syniti enables enterprises to deliver business-ready data as part of the integrated ERP transformation toolchain alongside such solutions as Signavio and Tricentis. You will see how Syniti helps teams automate data profiling and mapping, apply business rules and governance early, and continuously measure data quality across complex, multi-system landscapes.

The result is faster and more predictable migrations, reduced data risk, improved auditability and compliance, and higher confidence in go-live readiness - ultimately accelerating time-to-value and improving overall transformation outcomes.
