We are very grateful that the number of participants has steadily increased every year, this time, approximately 100 customers and partners joined us over the two days. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation. Thank you very much.

And Sören Ruder highlighted the latest SAP ALM Strategy where Cloud ALM comes into play as the Transformation Execution Platform of our customers. He also focused on the vision of AUTONOMOUS ALM. Additionally, Sonal Kumar focused on the various Integration capabilities of SAP Cloud ALM with Live demo on the latest AI uses cases within SAP Cloud ALM.
In the individual sessions that followed the keynote, experts from each area presented not only SAP Cloud ALM’s implementation and operations capabilities, but also topics such as migration from SAP Solution Manager, practical examples of AI utilization across tools in the integrated toolchain, Business Transformation Center, and security analytics—relatively new themes that were newly added to this year’s agenda.
Another highlight was the session delivered by NEC Corporation, in which they shared their ongoing initiatives related to the integrated toolchain. Since their session was based on real‑world project experience, participants actively asked numerous questions until the very last minute.

This time, hands‑on workshops were conducted after the individual sessions on both Day 1 (Implementation track) and Day 2 (Operations track), followed by the certification exam.
