Customer Case Study
Extending and Optimizing SAP S/4HANA in Steady State: Lessons from Vistaprint
This session draws on Vistaprint’s SAP S/4HANA production experience and examines how on-stack extensibility was applied using an upgrade-proof, clean core–aligned approach to reshape financial operations and reporting while accelerating access to critical insights. Hear how the company combined Fiori app variants and in-app data model extensions to adapt standard SAP applications for role-specific usage without modifying the core. Explore how they created custom analytical queries that delivered deeper visibility into financial performance and trends using a combination of standard and extended data. Take away proven patterns for evolving SAP S/4HANA using standard extensibility to improve usability, insight, and flexibility.

Hands-On Lab
Building Retrieval-Augmented Generation with SAP HANA Vector Engine ⚠️Sign-Up Required⚠️
Note: This lab session is BYOD (bring your own device). A limited number of devices may be available to borrow if needed. Power is available at the tables. Please connect to the secure event Wi-Fi and test your browser before the session begins. This hands-on lab guides attendees through building a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) scenario using SAP HANA Vector Engine to ground generative AI responses in trusted enterprise data. Participants will work through a guided, end-to-end exercise that demonstrates how semantic search and vector-based retrieval improve accuracy, relevance, and explainability for AI-driven applications. By attending, you will learn how to: Prepare and store vector embeddings in SAP HANA Vector Engine. Perform semantic search to retrieve contextually relevant enterprise data. Connect retrieved results to a generative AI workflow using RAG patterns. Evaluate how grounding improves response quality, trust, and usability in business scenarios. This lab emphasizes practical implementation and leaves participants with a working RAG prototype they can adapt to real-world use cases across analytics, operations, and application development.
