Agenda

Learn  how you can step confidently into the future by redefining enterprise management with our cutting-edge business suite strategy:

  • How can Applications,  Data and AI address key challenges with the next era of digital government management?
  • How does your Business and IT Transformation benefit from a comprehensive change across the four key pillars:  applications, processes, people, data
  • How does SAP's Cloud Delivery support secure and compliant options tailored to meet government needs

The SAP Business Data Cloud solution empowers public sector leaders by providing seamless integration that enhances decision-making with contextual insights. As a managed software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution, it leverages semantically rich data from key governmental processes within essential applications. Discover how it can automate crucial decisions in areas such as budget management, resource allocation, and workforce analytics. By unifying data across diverse systems, it equips public sector organizations to respond swiftly and effectively to community needs while optimizing operational efficiency.

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, public sector organizations face mounting pressure to deliver efficient, transparent, and citizen-centric services. This presentation explores how SAP's Business Transformation Management (BTM) capabilities—powered by SAP Signavio, LeanIX, and WalkMe—can accelerate and de-risk digital transformation journeys in the public sector. Attendees will gain insight into the application of our tools for supporting S/4HANA migrations, beginning with assessing the current state and evolving toward a future-state design grounded in public sector best practices.​

We’ll demonstrate how change management and user adoption strategies, enabled by WalkMe, ensure lasting transformation outcomes. The session also highlights real-world public sector use cases—from procurement optimization and financial transparency to citizen service enhancement and regulatory streamlining. Through these examples, we’ll illustrate how SAP Signavio enables continuous improvement, faster decision-making, reduced operational costs, and increased citizen satisfaction. ​

Public sector organizations are under increasing pressure to manage their real estate more efficiently, sustainably, and transparently. Planon Real Estate Management for SAP S/4HANA helps governments, institutions and public organizations to optimize property operations with real-time data-driven insights, enhance ESG compliance to meet national and EU sustainability goals, and create more user-friendly, future-ready public spaces. Join us to discover how this powerful platform can accelerate your digital transformation and elevate service delivery through smarter real estate strategies.

At De Lijn, the "Better Together" project reimagines HR by streamlining processes and embracing innovation. Through the automation of request forms and the digitalization of common HR inquiries—similar to the self-service approach at municipal counters—we aim to provide 24/7 accessibility and reduce repetitive tasks. By integrating emerging AI technologies, we're not only improving efficiency but also laying the foundation for a smarter, more responsive HR experience for all employees.

Public administrations and clients must ensure robust security, particularly when managing sensitive citizen data in the cloud. As organizations move to the cloud, safeguarding core systems like SAP services is crucial. Learn how SAP's adherence to top security standards and certifications ensures compliance and builds trust. Discover effective strategies for public administrations to securely migrate and manage their SAP environments in the cloud, protecting vital information and ensuring resilience. 

Join us to understand SAP cloud security and confidently leverage cloud benefits.
