One-of-a-Kind: Why Mastering SAP Collaborate, an SAP TechEd on Tour event is made for Australia

Australia is home to some of the world’s most unique, one-of-a-kind flora and fauna – kangaroo, koala, platypus, cassowary and redback spiders. It comes from being an distant island relative to the rest of the world. Geographic isolation also means we can be an inventive lot – hills hoist, wi-fi, pacemaker, victa lawnmower, bionic ear, powerboard. In today’s “no borders” world, it’s understandable that our take on global solutions often has an Australian twist that’s as recognisable as “g’day”.

Take our own Mastering SAP community and the SAP solutions used across our nation. Australian organisations are globally, the most prolific users of SAP with more than three SAP product lines fully implemented. Our distance from global markets means our supply chain management expertise is world leading. Our labour laws mean the role of SAP SuccessFactors and associated HR solutions is a key part of every large (and not so large) organisation. Our economy, legal and financial systems also make for specific tweaks to ERP and planning systems.

So, it makes sense that the event in November that brings Mastering SAP Collaborate and SAP TechEd on Tour together is uniquely Australian. While we will see the same announcements and technical solutions less than a week after their first showing at SAP TechEd Berlin, our Advisory Committee has ensured there is also a distinctly local flavour to the tracks and sessions.

One-of-a-kind even.

Like the Rheem story of enterprise-wide migration to SAP S/4HANA via RISE Private Cloud where they retired 30% of custom code, achieved a zero defect go live and had 100s of integrations operational on Day 1.

Or the diverse workforce challenges at Taronga that delivered a 20% reduction in time-to-hire, improved learning adoption, and delivered higher performance satisfaction

Perhaps the 50% savings in licensing costs the Endeavour Energy achieved while improving security through a strategic SAP Role Redesign to right-size access in the cloud

You could also explore the fundamental building blocks of AI-enabled finance with Standard Chartered who will demonstrate how they’re reshaping core finance functions through real-world implementations of AI

But if data and analytics is your interest, catch Pan Pac Forest Products perspectives on the pros and cons of SAP tools versus other competing reporting tools like PowerBI and the role of change management in new data access rollouts.

Plus, Transport of NSW will share the real-world lessons, challenges, and benefits of moving from legacy hybrid apps to a modern SAP mobility platform.

And then there are hands-on labs and six tracks of SAP TechEd on Tour content so you can nerd out as much or as little as you like.

Obviously, this is less than five percent of the sessions available during the three days. There is so much content you can design your perfect program to address your current needs, reveal future possibilities and connect with like minds.

A one-of-a-kind personal program at a one-of-a-kind event.

As Thomas Jung, Head of Developer Advocacy, SAP Developer & Community Relations at SAP says, “You’re going to be able to sit down with the systems that we already set up and you’re going to have an expert in the room to help you with your questions. And to me that’s a unique opportunity that you just don’t get anywhere else.

“It’s also a great opportunity (for us) to hear from our community …what their challenges are, what they are working on … and take that back to our development teams… to influence the product direction just by having those conversations at the event.”

Sounds like you’ll miss so much if you’re not there.

And as a bonus, all event attendees can save 25% of SAP certification exams.
