TechEd #6: Five Days to a Working AI Solution — Inside SAP's Forward Deployed Engineering Model
Notes de l’épisode
Recorded live at SAP TechEd 2026 in Berlin, this episode of Inside SAP Cloud ERP gets to the heart of what the autonomous enterprise actually looks like when it's working. Host Yannick speaks with Sindhu Gangadharan, Head of Customer Industry Solutions at SAP and Managing Director of SAP Labs India — a 27-year SAP veteran who has led everything from SAP's integration portfolio to its Intelligent Enterprise strategy. Sindhu lays out a clear and compelling arc of how ERP has evolved: from a system of record that captured the past, to a system of insight that flagged what might happen next, to what she describes today as a system of action. She then brings that vision to life through SAP's Industry AI organization and its Forward Deployed Engineering model, where small expert pods embed directly inside customer environments and move from scoping to a working proof of concept in weeks — sometimes days.Follow and subscribe on Spotify or Apple Podcasts so you never miss an update, leave your comments and your quick rating or review helps others discover the show.
