What is changing SAP and IT landscapes now

• 01 — Regulation

  E-invoicing and digital reporting become mandatory

  Statutory e-invoicing duties, Peppol connectivity and country-specific reporting formats are moving from compliance projects into day-to-day operations — with fixed deadlines and little room to manoeuvre.

  Impact: integration and master data quality turn into a schedule risk, not just a quality topic.

• 02 — Integration

  Classic middleware gives way to cloud integration

  SAP PI/PO is running out; integration landscapes are moving to the Integration Suite. That changes the operating model, monitoring and the skill profiles a team needs.

  Impact: migration planning decides the effort — reuse beats rebuilding when the interface inventory is solid.

• 03 — AI in operations

  AI takes over routine work in monitoring and development

  Error detection, prioritisation and documentation are increasingly AI-supported — not as a replacement for specialists, but as an accelerator in daily delivery.

  Impact: measurably shorter reaction times in AMS and less manual rework in development.

• 04 — Delivery & talent

  Nearshore delivery answers the specialist shortage

  SAP specialists stay scarce. Mixed teams with European nearshore capacity keep projects moving without a time zone break.

  Impact: scaling becomes predictable when roles, handovers and quality assurance are defined from the start.
