   VTT: Navigating SAP’s ERP Transformation - Positioning Lenovo Infrastructure for Growth
   
   

   SAP customers are entering a critical phase of ERP modernization as they transition from legacy SAP ECC environments to SAP S/4HANA and increasingly adopt cloud and hybrid cloud operating models. Join Graeme Trevayne, Lenovo ISG SAP Alliance Director, and Catherine Maina, Lenovo Sr. Product Manager for understanding why the technical and business implications of this shift is essential for designing the right infrastructure solutions and helping customers make informed decisions throughout their transformation journey.
   This webinar provides an overview of SAP's ERP and cloud strategy, the current state of customer migration to SAP S/4HANA, and the expected impact on traditional SAP infrastructure investments. Attendees will gain insight into the market outlook for Lenovo's SAP business and learn how Lenovo is adapting its portfolio and go-to-market approach to maximize revenue and profitability during this transition period.
   The session will cover Lenovo's SAP-certified infrastructure solutions for both traditional SAP ECC and modern SAP S/4HANA deployments, including sizing, performance, scalability, and modernization considerations. You will also learn how to position ThinkSystem servers as the foundation for mission-critical SAP workloads while incorporating ThinkAgile VX as a strategic platform for virtualization, infrastructure consolidation, operational simplification, and hybrid cloud readiness.
   In addition, the webinar will explore emerging growth opportunities across the SAP ecosystem, including SAP migration projects, infrastructure refreshes, private cloud initiatives, data and analytics platforms, AI-enabled business processes, and managed services opportunities. Attendees will leave with practical technical positioning guidance, solution-selling strategies, and customer conversation frameworks that align Lenovo solutions with evolving SAP customer requirements.
