David Robinson

President, SAP North America, SAP Americas

Drawing on firsthand experience guiding some of the world’s largest SAP Cloud ERP transformations, David Robinson will share how SAP is helping customers turn years of technical debt and customization into a launchpad for end-to-end, cloud-first ERP modernizations that emphasize clean core principles and AI adoption.

He will exemplify why organizations must move from one-time projects to IT operating models that allow for persistent innovation rather than treating “go live” as an end state.

This keynote sets the strategic foundation for the week ahead, offering insight into how SAP customers are modernizing their environments to enable continuous innovation, agility, and long-term business value.

The New Architecture of Intelligence: Securing and Connecting the Future SAP Ecosystem

The strategic mandate for SAP enterprises has transitioned from technical migration to the pursuit of the autonomous enterprise. While the move to SAP S/4HANA or Cloud ERP provides the foundation, many organizations find the path to operational AI obstructed by legacy technical debt, fragmented data silos, and a widening security perimeter.

Success in this next phase requires an architectural shift that treats security and governance, integration, and a modern data foundation not as secondary IT tasks, but as the primary drivers of business intelligence.

This session brings together leadership from across the SAP ecosystem including the CEOs of Boomi and Onapsis, Microsoft’s Global Head of SAP, and the CIOs of Blue Diamond Growers, and Mattel. These luminaries will cover topics such as reducing the risk of cloud migrations, managing complex relationships with software and infrastructure providers, and the best ways to activate and manage data essential for future AI use.

Key takeaways include:

Key takeaways include:

Managing relationships between SAP, cloud providers, and system integrators to prevent project drift and control the hidden costs of cloud-based ERP

Moving beyond traditional perimeter defense to integrate SAP-specific vulnerability and compliance monitoring directly into the cloud landing zone

Using modern integration platforms to bridge SAP and non-SAP data, creating real-time data streams for analytics and AI

Practical insights from Mattel and Blue Diamond Growers on transitioning from stabilization mode to continuous innovation
