In this episode of Configure It Done , Jay and Bethany are joined by SAP technology leader Sunil Sawant to unpack one of the biggest talking points in the SAP ecosystem right now: BTP and Cloud ALM. With SAP continuing its move towards a cloud-first future, businesses are under increasing pressure to modernise while still managing complex legacy environments. Sunil shares his insights on how organisations can leverage SAP Cloud ALM and BTP to streamline operations, improve governance, future-proof systems, and prepare for the next wave of innovation - including AI. The conversation explores: What SAP BTP actually means for businesses The importance of clean core principles Balancing customisation vs standardisation Why governance and change management are critical for success Common implementation challenges and how to overcome them The role of automation, monitoring, and scalability in modern SAP landscapes How organisations can prepare for SAP’s evolving cloud roadmap While the technology itself is powerful, one theme comes through clearly throughout the episode: successful SAP transformation is just as much about people, communication, and governance as it is about the systems themselves.

“Every SAP customer thinks they’re different…” - but according to Capgemini’s David Lowson, that mindset is one of the biggest reasons SAP transformations go off track.
