SNP will host a record‑size Transformation World conference on July 8‑9 in Heidelberg, drawing roughly 2,000 industry experts. The event will unveil three AI‑focused innovation tracks, a new partnership with Palantir, and a slate of customer case studies that illustrate SAP‑centric transformation projects.
Record Attendance and New AI Innovation Tracks
SNP announced that about 2,000 participants will gather in the SNP dome under the motto “Shaping Tomorrow.” The agenda features three innovation focus areas built around SNP’s agentic AI layer Kyano Lorna:
- Kyano Oros – an AI‑powered solution that automates complex data migrations and adds unstructured‑data processing, targeting the roughly 80 % of enterprise data that traditional tools cannot handle.
- Kyano Lorna – a 24/7, multilingual AI agent that embeds decades of transformation expertise, aiming to reduce manual effort, accelerate decisions, and provide real‑time insights across all project phases.
- Palantir partnership – a newly announced strategic alliance that will deliver additional AI‑driven SAP transformation capabilities; further details are slated for the conference.
Existing partner CDQ will also demonstrate its integrated solution for automated data quality and governance of SAP master data.
Customer Presentations Illustrate Real‑World SAP Transformations
More than 100 customer presentations will cover SAP Cloud ERP migrations, data archiving, system decommissioning, carve‑outs, and integrations. High‑profile German‑speaking participants include BMW, Deutsche Bahn, E.ON, Festo, Nestlé, Lufthansa, and Volkswagen. International speakers feature Ferrero, TotalEnergies, Brazil’s Sicredi, Chile’s Sigdo Koppers, PerkinElmer (U.S.), and Ventia (Australia).
Keynote speakers from SAP—Thomas Pfiester (Head of Customer Engagement & Adoption) and Stefan Steinle (EVP, Global Customer Support)—will discuss the latest SAP transformation developments. Additional speakers include author Sebastian Wernicke on data‑driven business ideas and sports entrepreneur Oliver Kahn on decision‑making under pressure.
Premium sponsors for the event are Accenture, Deloitte, and IBM, with a total of 20 sponsoring partners supporting the conference.
Key Takeaways
- SNP expects around 2,000 attendees, marking the highest attendance in the event’s history.
- The Kyano Oros solution targets the ≈80 % of enterprise data that is unstructured, extending SNP’s platform beyond traditional migration tools.
- A strategic partnership with Palantir will introduce new AI‑powered SAP transformation solutions, with details to be revealed at the conference.
TechInsyte's Take
In our view, SNP’s focus on agentic AI and unstructured‑data handling signals a pragmatic shift toward making SAP landscapes AI‑ready without requiring wholesale system replacements. By bundling Kyano Lorna’s continuous best‑practice guidance with Palantir’s data‑platform expertise, SNP is positioning itself as a one‑stop shop for enterprises that need to modernize legacy SAP environments while maintaining governance. For CIOs and SAP leaders, the conference offers a concrete look at how AI can be embedded directly into migration workflows, potentially reducing reliance on manual data‑cleansing teams and shortening project timelines. The breadth of customer case studies further validates that these tools are already being applied across diverse industries, suggesting a near‑term relevance for organizations planning SAP Cloud ERP moves or large‑scale data archiving initiatives.
