Connecting the Dots
Bridging Enterprise Asset Management and Supply Chain & Procurement for Smarter, Leaner Operations
SAP end users in Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and Supply Chain Management & Procurement (SCM) are expected to do more with less - faster, smarter, and with fewer resources. But disconnected processes, siloed data, and outdated systems make it harder than it should be.
Mastering SAP Connect 2025 is about connecting the dots - between assets and inventory, maintenance and procurement, AI and real-world execution - to build smarter, more efficient operations.
Right now, SAP EAM and SCM users are trying to:
- Break down silos between asset management and supply chain for better efficiency.
- Fix messy, unreliable data so they can actually trust their reports.
- Make the most of SAP tools they’re already paying for but not fully using.
- Figure out AI, automation, and predictive analytics without it turning into a massive IT headache.
- Stay compliant with new regulations - without drowning in admin work.
This conference is packed with real solutions that you can actually use - right now. Just practical fixes from end users, experts and solution providers who’ve been in your shoes.
