Key Takeaways

Managing mission-critical SAP environments requires balancing rapid AI innovation with escalating infrastructure costs and strict data sovereignty requirements.
At SAP TechEd Berlin (October 27–29, 2026), the message is clear: the future belongs to AI-driven, autonomous enterprises. For IT leaders, the key challenge is adopting AI without sacrificing security, control, or agility. Achieving true autonomy requires an open-source foundation—one that prevents vendor lock-in, controls hypervisor costs, and safeguards your data sovereignty.
Clean Core Strategy Meets Sovereign AI
SAP’s Clean Core philosophy keeps your ERP engine pristine and upgrade-ready. Pair autonomous AI with this strategy using three open-source architectural pillars:
- Hybrid Integration: Drives side-by-side innovation without contaminating core code.
- Sovereign Private AI: Deploys AI agents directly to your private data via SUSE AI, ensuring zero leakage and total compliance.
- Cost-Controlled Virtualization: Replaces restrictive hypervisors with an open foundation using SUSE KVM and SUSE Virtualization, optimized for SLES for SAP Applications.
Open-source standards deliver true technological sovereignty—giving you the freedom to innovate on your own terms.
