Keeping SAP Cloud ERP in your Data Center: Reducing Risk Without Sacrificing Innovation As organizations evaluate SAP Cloud ERP, many assume they must move everything to a hyperscaler to access innovation and a true cloud operating model. In reality, SAP Cloud ERP Private can run in your own data center or co-location facility while delivering the same software capabilities, lifecycle management, and AI innovations as hyperscaler deployments. In this on‑demand webinar, SAP’s Rakesh Rushan and HPE’s Jim Loiacono join SAPinsider’s Robert Holland to explain the SAP Cloud ERP Private, Customer Data Center (CDC) option—including how it works, where it fits, and why many customers see it as “cloud on‑site” rather than legacy on‑prem. You’ll hear how leading organizations are bringing a full cloud experience—including embedded and generative AI—into their own environments, keeping ERP close to critical non‑SAP systems while SAP manages the full stack as a subscription service. The speakers walk through practical considerations such as data residency and sovereignty, total cost of ownership versus hyperscaler options, time‑to‑value, and support experience, so you can decide whether running SAP Cloud ERP in your existing data center aligns with your long‑term architecture and risk strategy. Why watch this webinar on demand: - Understand how the SAP Cloud ERP Private, Customer Data Center option works and how it compares to hyperscaler-based deployments in terms of capabilities, operations, and SLAs. - See how “cloud on‑site” lets you keep SAP Cloud ERP physically in your own or a co-location data center while SAP delivers a fully managed cloud service with up to 99.9% application‑level availability. - Learn how CDC helps you meet stringent data residency, privacy, and sovereignty requirements by keeping ERP data in your chosen location while still consuming SAP’s continuous innovation and Business AI. - Explore how co‑locating SAP and non‑SAP systems can reduce integration complexity, latency, and data egress costs, especially for analytics and large‑scale AI workloads. - Get practical guidance on when CDC is a better fit than hyperscalers—based on data dependencies, risk and compliance, time to value, and your existing data center and infrastructure investments.

DIY or Done-for-You? Rethinking Tax Compliance Strategy in SAP How Tax Compliance Is Changing in SAP Tax compliance in SAP is no longer just an IT decision. It’s a strategic risk decision. As governments shift to real-time, transaction-level enforcement, SAP customers are being forced to rethink how tax compliance fits into their S/4HANA, Clean Core, and data governance strategies. Many organizations are evaluating ERP-native approaches, while others are expanding their capabilities to account for authority-led, end-to-end compliance models designed to keep pace with continuous mandates. Each path comes with tradeoffs in cost, risk, scalability, and long-term agility. In this session, Sovos tax and SAP experts explore how SAP customers should think about this decision, not from a product perspective, but from an enterprise architecture, risk, and operating model standpoint. You’ll learn: - Why tax compliance is shifting from an internal ERP function to an externally enforced, authority-led model - What SAP customers should consider when using ERP-native tools for digital reporting and mandates, and what capabilities to enhance and complement those tools - The hidden complexity behind e-invoicing, SAF-T, and continuous transaction controls - How Clean Core principles intersect with tax data, controls, and audit exposure - Key questions IT, Finance, and Tax leaders should be asking before choosing a compliance path - How today’s compliance decisions can impact transformation risk for years to come This session is designed for IT and ERP leaders, Finance and Tax executives, SAP CoE and Clean Core program owners, and enterprise architects responsible for compliance strategy, and is especially relevant for organizations preparing for the 2026–2027 regulatory expansion or actively navigating an S/4HANA

Protecting SAP ERP Availability & Data Privacy—Be a Hero vs Victim Modern cloud ERP exposes new challenges to both SAP ERP availability and privacy. Before October 2025, more than 2,000 organizations believed they were protected by multi-regional cloud architecture, only to be impacted by a single hyperscaler DNS outage that disrupted access across multiple countries for more than 14 hours. That same year, geo-political sanctions abruptly interrupted hyperscaler services for several organizations, and a Microsoft executive confirmed to the French Senate that data cannot be fully protected from U.S. access under the U.S. Cloud Act. In response, the EU Commission released its Cloud Sovereignty Framework version 1.2.1 to assess sovereignty effectiveness, including data and A.I. sovereignty along with countries from every global continent, who also have released their own data and A.I. policies. This webinar will examine these 2025 incidents and explain how to strengthen SAP ERP availability and privacy through SAP Cloud ERP, Customer Data Center, SAP Sovereign On-site, and S/4HANA On-site deployments. Attendees will learn strategies for guarding against global DNS or IAM outages, meeting privacy obligations under the EU Digital Operational Resiliency Act, and navigating global AI regulations. Watch Now to: - Review the major SAP ERP cloud outages and privacy risks of 2025. - Understand options that eliminate hyperscaler fiduciary risk. - Clarify data residency vs. sovereignty and custody vs. management services.
