Why the Future of Intelligent Enterprises Runs Through SAP BTP
Across industries, business leaders are facing the same paradox. They have more data than ever before, yet decisions still rely on incomplete insights, gut feelings, or outdated reports.

Why SAP Security Should Be a Board-Level Priority – Not Just an IT Concern
Two weeks after going live with a new SAP rollout, a mid-sized manufacturer noticed a strange pattern: a series of transactions had been approved in record time – but without proper oversight.

In a similar fashion to my good friend and colleague Andrew Noone, in his recent article about SAP Security & GRC “Why Bother?”, I wanted to propose a number of reasons why you absolutely should consider utilising Solution Manager for more than just the bare minimum, when it comes to managing your SAP solutions and…
SAP GRC & Security – Why bother?
Andrew Noone – Senior SAP Controls Technical Consultant Over the past 3 months, I have taken some time out to refresh the mind and think about the next 10 years of my career. On one of my many dog walks, I couldn’t help thinking, that while the SAP resource marketplace is as busy as I’ve…
