As SAP customers move toward cloud-centric landscapes, transitioning from SAP Solution Manager to SAP Cloud ALM requires more than replacing one tool with another. This session examines the fundamental differences in architecture, operating model, and scope that require teams to rethink how application lifecycle management is delivered in cloud-first SAP landscapes. Attendees will:  Identify which common SAP Solution Manager use cases map to SAP Cloud ALM and which require changes in approach or continued use of other tools. Learn how organizations typically phase the transition by lifecycle use case, including parallel operation across implementation, testing, and operations. Evaluate organizational, process, and governance impacts that teams should plan for when moving to SAP Cloud ALM.

This session provides a comprehensive review of the latest features, functions, and capabilities of SAP BTP, including planned enhancements across development, integration, automation, data, and AI. Attendees will gain clarity on how SAP BTP services fit together and how roadmap priorities influence architecture decisions and platform planning. Key learning objectives: Understand how SAP BTP capabilities are organized across core service categories. Identify platform components most relevant to modern SAP landscapes. Assess roadmap priorities and their impact on adoption sequencing and architecture planning.

This session examines the day-to-day activities required to keep applications running in production on SAP BTP, including practical guidance to monitor application health, manage access and security, handle operational changes, and maintain stability. Attendees will learn how to:  Run applications on SAP BTP in production using a clear operating model. Set up baseline monitoring, alerting, and operational visibility for live applications. Align responsibilities between SAP-managed platform services and customer-owned applications, including variations by runtime and connectivity model. Apply governance, security, and entitlement controls to support stable operations at scale.

Hear directly from Woodstream about its enterprise-wide SAP Cloud ALM rollout and how it was embedded into their SAP S/4HANA program to drive smoother execution across all workstreams.
