James Gardner – 老甘 reposted thisJames Gardner – 老甘 reposted this🎉 That’s a wrap on the SAP Customer Support Summit North America! What an incredible event—packed with insightful sessions, hands-on learning, and meaningful conversations with SAP experts and customers. 🚀 Thank you, Mohammed M. Ajouz, Geoff Scott, David Lehanski, Nathan Weaver, Deepak Sharma, Steele Arbeeny Jens Bernotat, for your insights and thought leadership on disruption with AI and Customer Support transformation in line with SAP strategy, AI-First, Suite-First. Some key takeaways: ✅ AI Disruption - AI is the new UI, and data is the new currency. Business Human Value (BHV) is here to stay. While AI can provide insights, humans in the loop (HITL) will be the absolute differentiator. ✅ Innovations in customer support – AI tools and strategies that enhance SAP solution experiences. Proactive Customer Risk Mitigation, Agentic Case Resolution, Self-Service capabilities. ✅ Collaborative learning – Interactive sessions and workshops that empowered attendees on support tools, technologies, and methodologies driving transformation at scale with AI. ✅ Support-led growth (SLG) models to evolve in the experience economy, innovation, and adoption powered by AI models will be the future of the Customer Support industry. A huge thank you also to everyone who attended the summit, shared insights, and contributed to making it a success! It was a full house with active engagement throughout the day. Looking forward to continuing the conversations and driving innovation culture in customer support. #SAP #CustomerSupport #SAPEvents #Innovation #ThankYou #AI #AgenticAI #Preventative #Predictive #ASUG #CustomerExperience #BusinessSuite #RISEwithSAP #GROWwithSAP Stefan Steinle Dennison John Angus Irvine Robertson Carsten Schwarz Vivian Luechau-de la Roche Bethany Mofatt Jens Trotzky Alice Petrovich Bharath Ramamurthy Brian Fagan Sören Ruder Marcus Blaesi Mike Griffiths
