Integration and Data Management

The number one challenge that SAP identified in 2020 was that of integration. The average number of integration tools SAP customers are using to integrate their data with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems is four, three of which are on-premise. This track will help you understand your different integration choices, how you should work to integrate cloud-based systems, why it is important to have an architecture in place before moving into the cloud, and understand how data management, whether in the cloud or on premise, is critical to success of your integration.

Add PDF editing capabilities to your UI5 application using a commercial library as a custom control – Cord Jastram

In this session I wrap a commercial web control as a UI5 custom control in order to add advanced PDF editing features to my UI5 application. I will present a full-blown application and show some important aspects of the frontend and the backend coding.

Enterprise Cloud Deployment: State of the Market

Digital transformation and the deployment of applications in the cloud has been a key topic of discussion within the enterprise software market for several years but that conversation has been accelerated by the global events of 2020. Organizations whose workforces had been entirely on-site have had to quickly convert to a remote work environment. Many of those companies have scrambled to address critical infrastructure changes and implement cloud-based applications to provide faster and more reliable access for remote users.

Integration Tools and Strategies for SAP S/4HANA

As organizations continue their transition to SAP S/4HANA, more are focusing on making it a single source of integrated business and financial data.

Without tools and an integration strategy, this centralization is not possible.
