Reducing IT spend through application and technology landscape optimization

CIOs and enterprise architects are under increasing pressure to reduce IT spending while still supporting ongoing transformation and innovation. As ERP modernization and AI initiatives advance, maintaining transparency across the application and technology landscape becomes critical to making confident, cost-informed decisions.

At this SAP Transformation Excellence Tour stop, the focus is on how enterprise architecture supports application rationalization and technology lifecycle management. You’ll explore how organizations use trusted architecture data to identify cost drivers, reduce redundancy, and mitigate risk—while keeping transformation initiatives aligned with business priorities.

What this session can help you achieve:

  • Increase cost transparency across your IT landscape: Get clear visibility into application and technology costs to support confident, fact-based decisions.
  • Reduce IT spend through application rationalization: Identify redundant, obsolete, and low-value applications to simplify your landscape and free up investment capacity.
  • Manage technology lifecycle risk with confidence: Spot end-of-life and end-of-support risks early to avoid disruption and unplanned cost.

This event is designed for enterprise architects and IT leaders looking for practical insight, peer perspectives, and a structured approach to reducing cost while supporting ongoing transformation.

This is a half-day, in-person event.

Building Transformation as a Capability – How to Move from One-Time Projects to a Permanent Organisational Muscle

Too many organisations still treat transformation as a one-off programme — a finite project with a start date, an end date, and a hope that the benefits stick. But the companies that consistently outperform are the ones that have built transformation as a standing capability: embedded in governance, resourced with permanent competencies, and wired into how the business makes decisions every quarter. In this panel, we'll unpack what it actually takes to make that shift. How do you secure and sustain executive sponsorship — not just for a single initiative, but for an ongoing transformation mandate? Who needs to be at the table — the full board, the CFO, the CIO, or a dedicated transformation sponsor? And what are the governance models, operating rhythms, and alignment mechanisms that keep business and IT moving in the same direction — not just at kick-off, but year after year?
