Inside SAP Cloud ERP

Recorded live on keynote stage at SAP TechEd Berlin, this episode tackles a question hiding in plain sight: a self-running enterprise still needs people to build it, run it, and step in when things go wrong. So, who are those people and do we have enough of them?

Host Fernanda Rodrigues sits down with Dr. Tamas Szirtes, SAP Mentor and Group Innovation Director at SOA People, and Sebastiano Marchesini, SAP Champion. Together they explore the crossroads of the autonomous enterprise and the SAP skills and talent gap.
The conversation covers which SAP skills are becoming obsolete, which are now worth their weight in gold, and why change management keeps coming up as the answer nobody wants to hear. Sebastiano and Tamas also share how they approach learning in a landscape that moves faster than any one person can track — and what role community, mentorship, and events like TechEd play in closing the gap. Expect honest takes, practical advice, and one direct challenge: don't wait for anyone else to make the first move.

Joining the conversation are Florian Häußler, CEO of Innovabee, and Tom Cenens, SAP Mentor and Director at Amista, two partners who work daily with customers navigating the reality of AI-driven transformation. Does the autonomous enterprise resonate with customers?
Florian shares a live production use case from the food manufacturing industry — using SAP AI Core to automate lab result processing into SAP Quality Management, with the human still in the loop. Tom walks through how AI is being used to handle incoming customer and supplier emails, draft replies, and avoid the kind of AI mishaps that erode trust fast.
The conversation also covers Tom's candid, unfiltered feedback to SAP R&D executives at TechEd, how Florian is navigating AI adoption as a leader and people manager, and what both guests honestly think the SAP ecosystem will look like in 3 to 5 years. Plus: rapid-fire questions, the one thing to pack for the autonomous enterprise journey, and what it really means to build things that matter.

Recorded live at SAP TechEd 2025 in Berlin, this episode brings a firsthand look at one of Latin America's most ambitious SAP transformations.

Michael Uhlig, Solution Architect at Natura — the iconic beauty company behind the Natura and Avon brands, with 3.1 million consultants across eight countries — shares with host Fernanda Rodrigues the story behind "T4all" (Transformation for All): a full greenfield SAP Cloud ERP implementation covering five factories, 16 distribution centers, two brands, and eight countries.

Michael explains why Natura chose greenfield over lift-and-shift, how a clean core mindset shaped every design decision, and what lessons from the Ecuador pilot reshaped their approach before tackling Brazil, their largest and highest-risk operation. He also walks through Natura's parallel AI journey: activating Joule across SAP S/4HANA Cloud, building early AI agents, establishing governance with AI Agent Hub, and pioneering a "Digital Twin" concept to free knowledge workers from repetitive questions and give them space to think strategically.

If you're wondering where to start your own transformation, Michael's advice is simple: just start.
