Customer Case Study: Why Your SAP Strategy Should Walk Among Hills Rather Than Climb Mountains

The session
About this session
As SAP accelerates the pace of innovation on AI with Joule to continuous cloud releases many organisations today adopt a “wait-and-leap” strategy for upgrades, but delaying often drives up costs, increases risk, and limits future business value. Our philosophy is different, we prefer to ‘walk among the hills rather than climb mountains’. This reflects our commitment to steady, incremental progress instead of dramatic, high‑risk transformations.
In this strategic session, Jason Anthony shares how SA Power Networks has rethought the way it manages SAP, shifting from large, project-based transformations to an approach centred on continuous improvement and business value. He explores why keeping SAP current is a business strategy, how this mindset changes the way organisations invest in technology, and why those that modernise continuously are better positioned to adopt new SAP innovations as they emerge.
