David Robinson

President, SAP North America, SAP Americas

Drawing on firsthand experience guiding some of the world’s largest SAP Cloud ERP transformations, David Robinson will share how SAP is helping customers turn years of technical debt and customization into a launchpad for end-to-end, cloud-first ERP modernizations that emphasize clean core principles and AI adoption.

He will exemplify why organizations must move from one-time projects to IT operating models that allow for persistent innovation rather than treating “go live” as an end state.

This keynote sets the strategic foundation for the week ahead, offering insight into how SAP customers are modernizing their environments to enable continuous innovation, agility, and long-term business value.

Executive Keynote Panel

Tuesday, March 17 | 4:00 PM

The strategic mandate for SAP enterprises has transitioned from technical migration to the pursuit of the autonomous enterprise. While the move to SAP S/4HANA or Cloud ERP provides the foundation, many organizations find the path to operational AI obstructed by legacy technical debt, fragmented data silos, and a widening security perimeter. Success in this next phase requires an architectural shift that treats security and governance, integration, and a modern data foundation not as secondary IT tasks, but as the primary drivers of business intelligence.

This panel convenes senior executives from across the SAP ecosystem to share their perspectives on reducing the risk of cloud migrations, managing complex relationships with software and infrastructure providers, the best ways to activate and manage data essential for future AI use, and more.

Key takeaways include:
