There are moments when you can feel the direction of technology shifting, and this is one of them 💙 As someone deeply immersed in data, AI, and the systems that power them, this is more than just an event for me; it’s a glimpse into how intelligence is being embedded everywhere, from edge to cloud! What excites me most is not just the pace of innovation, but that: • Compute moving closer to where the data is generated • The growing importance of efficiency, performance, and sustainability • The role of architecture in unlocking the next wave of intelligent systems We’re entering an era where AI is no longer a layer; it’s becoming foundational. And yes, I’ll admit it...being unapologetically obsessed with data and emerging technologies, I am so looking forward to the event! Looking forward to the ideas, the conversations, and the possibilities ahead. #AI #ArmEverywhere #DataStrategy #EdgeComputing #Semiconductors #Innovation

SAP and AWS are teaming up to launch a new AI Co-Innovation Program. This is how AI moves from potential to practical. The goal is to help partners build generative AI apps that solve day-to-day ERP challenges from supply chain disruptions to financial planning. With SAP's enterprise backbone and AWS's generative AI tech (like Amazon Bedrock), this will create real, usable solutions. Partners like Accenture and Deloitte are already diving in, and the program includes hands-on support plus cloud credits to get projects off the ground. #SAP #AWS #GenerativeAI #SAPSapphire2025
