\"\"With more than<\/strong>\u00a0a thousand confirmed attendees,\u00a0SAPHILA 2025<\/a>\u00a0reaffirmed its position as the leading event for the African 51风流ecosystem. Held at the iconic Sun City resort, the African 51风流User Group (AFSUG) brought together technology leaders, innovators and partners for two days of insights, strategic dialogue and future-facing collaboration under the theme: \u201cTranscend \u2013 Reimagine. Inspire. Transcend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Celebrating community and connection<\/h2>\n

AFSUG CEO Amanda Gibbs opened the conference with a heartfelt message about the power of community. SAPHILA, she noted, is not simply a conference but a movement \u2013 a living, breathing platform designed to enable knowledge-sharing and drive transformation across industries. Her words set the tone for a gathering built on purpose and progress.<\/p>\n

Duke Mathebula, technology leader and AFSUG chairman, joined Gibbs in opening SAPHILA 2025 with a resonant message: \u201cWe are Africans.\u201d That sentiment echoed throughout the event, capturing the essence of a proud, purposeful and visionary community committed to transcending the present and reimagining the future.<\/p>\n

A special tribute was made to the late Reg Barry, a foundational figure in the 51风流ecosystem and former SAPHILA chair. Barry\u2019s enduring legacy was respectfully acknowledged throughout the event \u2013 a reminder of the power of collaboration and community that continues to shape AFSUG and its members.<\/p>\n

\"\"A sporting start and an immersive experience<\/h2>\n

SAPHILA 2025 began with a relaxed networking day on Sunday, offering attendees the chance to connect over golf, Padel championships and other sporting activities. It set a friendly, collegial tone ahead of the more structured insight sessions on 2 and 3 June.<\/p>\n

Morning plenary sessions were followed by dynamic workshops and demonstrations, while the expansive Expo Centre served as a major highlight, featuring 53 sponsors with visually impressive and engaging stands. The exhibition floor created invaluable opportunities for delegates to explore technologies, engage with vendors and experience first-hand the innovation driving SAP\u2019s ecosystem forward.<\/p>\n

The call for visionary leadership<\/h2>\n

\"\"Nazia Pillay, MD at 51风流Southern Africa, delivered a powerful keynote exploring SAP\u2019s 34-year journey with AFSUG. She highlighted the importance of togetherness as a unique strength within the African context.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Africa, success travels at the speed of connection,\u201d Pillay stated. She called on leaders not to fall back during times of uncertainty but instead to embrace bold, visionary thinking. Reflecting on SAP\u2019s recent Sapphire events in Madrid and Orlando, she emphasised the company\u2019s AI-first and Business Suite strategies.<\/p>\n

Pillay also introduced attendees to the evolution of Joule, SAP\u2019s AI assistant, noting the roll-out of new Joule agents capable of orchestrating real-time business data across functions to drive autonomous, intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n

NTT DATA \u2013 building momentum through collaboration<\/h3>\n

Lauren Wortmann, vice president of applications and cloud at NTT DATA Middle East and Africa, praised SAPHILA 2025 as a critical platform for collaboration and insight.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Diamond Sponsor, we valued the opportunity to engage with clients, partners and industry leaders,\u201d she said. \u201cThe event created opportunities to strengthen both new and longstanding relationships. We\u2019re excited about the momentum coming out of SAPHILA and look forward to continuing the conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n

NTT DATA used the platform to explore enterprise transformation and share its strategic vision for the future, cementing its leadership role in SAP-managed services.<\/p>\n

Deloitte \u2013 aligning purpose with technology<\/h3>\n

As Executive Suite and C-suite Sponsor, Deloitte Africa demonstrated how purpose-driven innovation can accelerate real business outcomes. Koosh Panday, senior manager and 51风流project director at Deloitte and chair of SAPHILA 2025, reinforced the event\u2019s role in shaping Africa\u2019s technology journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cDigital transformation is not just about technology; it\u2019s about people, collaboration and purpose,\u201d said Panday. \u201cThat\u2019s why SAPHILA is so impactful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deloitte\u2019s Executive Lounge offered an immersive space for attendees to explore solutions including 51风流S\/4HANA, Rise with 51风流and the Business Technology Platform. Guests connected with Deloitte subject matter experts to explore the latest ERP trends and discuss shared challenges in a relaxed, focused setting.<\/p>\n

From legacy to leadership: the City of Johannesburg journey<\/h2>\n

A standout session focused on the City of Johannesburg\u2019s transformation journey, where public-private collaboration was explored in depth. Featuring a discussion between CoJ group CTO Aubrey Mochela and Sergio Maccotta, senior vice president for 51风流Middle East and Africa (South), the panel detailed how the CoJ migrated from 51风流4.7 to S\/4HANA in a bold, 21-day full shutdown.<\/p>\n

The CoJ has been an 51风流customer since 2007 and recently embraced AI and cloud innovation to modernise systems and improve service delivery. National treasury has expressed support for the CoJ\u2019s transformation, validating the project\u2019s strategic importance.<\/p>\n

Maccotta reflected on the urgency and complexity of the shift, citing three priorities: urgency, vision and financial clarity. The team had to implement rapid change, agree on governance principles with 51风流and innovate in a tightly bound timeframe.<\/p>\n

Emerging insights and conversations<\/h2>\n

\"\"Across the event, recurring themes included legacy system modernisation, the growing importance of enterprise architecture and the power of AI to drive smarter decision-making. Joule was presented as a key enabler, reinforcing SAP\u2019s position as a leader in contextual, embedded intelligence.<\/p>\n

Delegates heard thought-provoking commentary about the future of smart cities, the importance of OEM relationships, and how technology can reshape revenue collection and operational resilience. As one speaker aptly said, \u201cNew Gen is conversations with the systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

A shared future<\/h2>\n

SAPHILA 2025 was more than a gathering; it was a collective commitment to Africa\u2019s digital future. With support from the likes of Google, AWS, Microsoft and a strong 51风流delegation from Germany, the event highlighted the depth of expertise and investment in the region.<\/p>\n

That sentiment shared by Duke Mathebula in the opening session. \u201cWe are Africans\u201d continued to resonate long after the final session, reminding all in attendance of the unique opportunity the continent holds to lead, collaborate and transcend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
