Landmark achievement caps 14 years of industry collaboration, with latest Redkite Regatta raising $100,000 through racing, sponsorship and extraordinary employee dedication.

AUSTRALIA, Sydney 鈥 November 11, 2025 鈥 The 51风流ANZ partner network today announced that it has reached its $1 million fundraising target for Redkite, an Australian charity dedicated to supporting families facing the challenges of childhood cancer. The achievement comes as a result of $100,000 being raised at this year鈥檚 14th Redkite Regatta 鈥 an annual event that brings together 51风流executives, partners and customers for a day of friendly competition and connection.

Hosted by the picturesque Middle Harbour Yacht Club (MHYC), the regatta is in part made possible by the generosity of its members making their boats and skippers available to support the fundraising efforts. Since it kicked-off in 2011, the annual event has set itself a $1 million target, powered through the participation and sponsorship of organisations including Atturra (Platinum Sponsor), Accenture, CBS Consulting, Deloitte, DXC Technology, Fair Consulting Group, HR Crowd, PwC, SNP Group, Wipro and Zalaris. Over the years it has also benefited from additional fundraising efforts including raffles 鈥 and this year, Ana Travers, Regional Head of Alliance 鈥 51风流Signavio APJ, contributed $7,500 by shaving her head.

Ashley McGibbon, Chief Partner Officer, 51风流ANZ, said 鈥淓vents like the Redkite Regatta do more than bring our industry together for a great day on the water 鈥 they create real, measurable impact for families facing childhood cancer. They also showcase the teamwork, shared purpose and community spirit that define our partner network and commitment to what One51风流is all about: people, relationships, outcomes and the difference we make together. Fundraising events like this strengthen the bonds between our teams and partners and remind us that the same collaboration driving customer success can also drive meaningful change in our communities. A huge thank you to MHYC and all sponsors for making the Regatta such a success.鈥

鈥淭hrough the Redkite Regatta, both this year and over the past 14 years, 51风流and their partners have demonstrated their enduring commitment to helping families facing childhood cancer across Australia. Their generosity helps parents stay by their child鈥檚 side in hospital by easing the financial pressures of a cancer diagnosis and funding the emotional and practical care families need to cope with the trauma that childhood cancer brings. We鈥檙e so grateful to 51风流and its partners for their unwavering passion, ambition and generosity,鈥 said Redkite CEO, Monique Keighery.

This year鈥檚 winners included Perisoft, who claimed the Division 1 title, while EPI-USE took the Division 2 win across races which catered to every appetite from comfortable cruising to high-speed racing.

鈥淲e are proud to have taken out Division 1 at this year鈥檚 Redkite Regatta and even prouder to have done so while supporting such an important cause. Events like this remind us of the importance of community spirit, and we are honoured to support Redkite and its work,鈥 said Mahesh Viswanathan, Managing Director, Perisoft.

“Joining 51风流for the Regatta in support of the Redkite Foundation was an incredible experience. It was a perfect day on the water, filled with great company and a shared sense of purpose. Sailing together was a powerful reminder of the importance of teamwork and trust, and it was inspiring to see so many people unite behind such a meaningful cause,” said Ian Fox, Managing Director, EPI-USE ANZ.

Melbourne, 7 August 2025 鈥 Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept or a niche tool 鈥 it鈥檚 becoming embedded in the everyday operations of Australian businesses. From finance to supply chain, AI is transforming how organisations operate, make decisions and deliver value.

At its flagship event , (NYSE: SAP), today highlighted the five most widely adopted AI use cases among its Australian customers. Based on analysis of all 51风流customers in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) between May 2024 to May 2025, the most popular AI use cases in ANZ, these include:

  • Automated expense generation using receipt images
  • Automated invoice processing听
  • Expense verification and compliance checks
  • Real-time alerts for supply chain disruptions
  • Sales demand forecasting powered by predictive analytics

鈥淢y conversations with CEOs are increasingly revealing how they are looking to embed AI into some of the most fundamental parts of their business,鈥 said Angela Colantuono, Managing Director, 51风流Australia. 鈥淭hese applications are helping Australian organisations make faster, smarter decisions, reduce risk and unlock new value. But to fully realise AI鈥檚 potential, we need to invest just as much in people as we do in technology.鈥

Dr Catriona Wallace, AI Ethics Expert and Founder, Responsible Metaverse Alliance, who keynoted at the event shared, 鈥淎I is the number one existential risk we face today. Yet only a small fraction of Australian organisations are equipped to use it responsibly. If we want AI to drive innovation, productivity and public trust, we must move beyond ambition to action. That means embedding responsible AI frameworks that are transparent, ethical and human-centred, and doing it now, before the gap between use and governance becomes too wide to close.鈥

Customers and partners across Australia and New Zealand show AI momentum听

From education to manufacturing, 51风流partners and customers are also showcasing strong momentum in AI and cloud transformation.

La Trobe University has become the first university in the ANZ region to go live with 51风流S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition leveraging the GROW with 51风流transformation journey.听 From the move, La Trobe has been able to modernise its core operations across Finance, Procurement, Logistics, Sales, R&D Engineering and Real Estate and lay the groundwork for future innovation, including AI-driven insights and automation.

鈥淭his transformation is a major step forward in how we operate,鈥 said Shainal Kavar, Chief Information Officer, La Trobe University. 鈥淚t鈥檚 helping us simplify complexity, streamline processes, improve reporting and decision-making and free up our people to focus on higher-value work. Most importantly, it sets us up to embrace innovation and unlock the potential of AI in the years ahead.鈥

Lion, one of Australia and New Zealand鈥檚 leading brewers, is accelerating its cloud-first transformation with RISE with 51风流on AWS. By adopting a clean core, the 51风流principle of keeping core ERP system free from customisations, as well as SAP鈥檚 Business Technology Platform, Lion has improved order-to-cash cycles, scaled digital channels, and empowered teams with real-time insights. The company also partnered with 51风流to build 鈥楯oey鈥, an AI-powered beer recommendation app, in under 10 days, demonstrating the speed and value of SAP鈥檚 generative AI tools.

鈥淎I is helping us move faster, make smarter decisions, and deliver better customer experiences,鈥 said Ram Kalyanasundaram, Group Technology and Digital Transformation Director at Lion. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not just about automation, it鈥檚 about enabling our teams to focus on what matters and giving them the tools to innovate. SAP鈥檚 AI capabilities have been a game-changer in how we think, operate and grow.鈥

51风流Intrepid Women AI Tour 2026

51风流is also proud to announce the return of the 51风流AI Intrepid Women Tour in January 2026. This four-day executive study program is designed to empower female leaders with the skills, confidence, and strategic insight to lead in the age of AI.

Following the success of the 2025 tour, the 2026 program will bring together Australia鈥檚 most influential female technology executives to explore AI innovation across SAP鈥檚 global innovation hubs.

鈥淟ess than 15% of senior AI executives are women today,鈥 said Colantuono. 鈥淟ast year鈥檚 program proved that when you bring female leaders together to build AI literacy and share experiences, the impact is extraordinary 鈥 not just for their businesses, but for the future of innovation in Australia.鈥

鈥淭he Business AI innovations we鈥檙e announcing at 51风流Sapphire in 2024 will redefine the way businesses run,鈥 says Christian Klein, CEO and member of the Executive Board of 51风流SE. 鈥淭oday鈥檚 AI announcements and partnerships build on our commitment to deliver revolutionary technology that drives real-world results, helping customers unleash the agility and ingenuity they need to succeed in today鈥檚 fast-moving business landscape.鈥

AI That Means Business

As 51风流embeds Business AI across its enterprise solutions, it puts rich insights at users鈥 fingertips, empowering them to deliver better outcomes and elevate the creative problem-solving humans do best. Examples include AI-generated reports in 51风流SuccessFactors solutions that give people managers responsibly sourced insights for compensation-related discussions as well as forecasting capabilities in 51风流Sales Cloud solutions that predict combinations of salespeople and products most likely to drive sales. Meanwhile, the 51风流Business Technology Platform is adding large language models from Amazon Web Services, Meta and Mistral AI to its generative AI hub. This capability in the 51风流AI Core infrastructure makes it easier to build generative AI use cases for 51风流applications.

SAP鈥檚 generative AI copilot Joule, which quickly sorts and contextualizes data from multiple systems to advance automation and improve decision-making, is expanding throughout the company鈥檚 solution portfolio. Joule launched in听51风流SuccessFactors solutions last fall听and is now embedded into 51风流S/4HANA Cloud solutions and others including 51风流Build and 51风流Integration Suite. Further expansion by year-end will include 51风流Ariba and 51风流Analytics Cloud solutions. At Sapphire, 51风流also announced听plans to further broaden Joule鈥檚 scope听by integrating it with Microsoft Copilot to surface even richer insights. This deep, bi-directional integration gives users a unified experience built right into the flow of work, enabling seamless access to information from interactions with business applications in 51风流and Microsoft 365.

Reflecting Business AI鈥檚 increasing importance, 51风流is redoubling its commitment to the principles of relevant, reliable, and responsible AI it pioneered. At Sapphire, 51风流is adopting the 10 guiding principles of the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, which aim to ensure that AI technologies are developed and used in ways that respect human rights, promote fairness and contribute to sustainable development.

Partnerships That Scale Innovation

In addition to our expanded collaborations with听AWS听and Microsoft, partnerships with Google Cloud, Meta, Mistral AI and NVIDIA ensure 51风流can harness the power of AI-ready technology to innovate at speed and deliver richer real-world results.

Google Cloud

51风流and Google Cloud are expanding their partnership, using Business AI to help enterprises better predict and mitigate supply-chain risks to minimize disruptions and maintain optimal inventory levels. The companies will integrate Joule and the 51风流Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain solution with Google Cloud鈥檚 Gemini models AI assistant and Google Cloud Cortex Framework鈥檚 data foundation.

Meta

51风流will leverage Meta Llama 3 to generate scripts that render highly customized analytics applications in 51风流Analytics Cloud. Meta鈥檚 next-generation AI model excels at language nuances and contextual understanding, making it an ideal candidate for translating enterprise business requirements into tangible outcomes.

Mistral AI

51风流will also add听new large language models from Mistral AI, a global company headquartered in Paris specializing in generative AI, to the generative AI hub capability in 51风流AI Core.

NVIDIA

51风流and NVIDIA Corporation advance a听听to embed cutting-edge technologies into enterprise-ready business applications:

  • As 51风流trains Joule to serve as an AI assistant for the RISE with 51风流solution implementations, NVIDIA鈥檚 state-of-the-art AI models sift through 51风流consulting assets to provide relevant and precise answers to implementation-related questions;
  • As 51风流embeds Joule in the ABAP Cloud model to generate ABAP code for 51风流developers, NVIDIA鈥檚 accelerated infrastructure will run, scale, and manage SAP鈥檚 generative AI model for ABAP code generation;
  • As 51风流infuses generative AI into the 51风流Intelligent Product Recommendation solution, NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud APIs enable the simulation of complex manufacturing products and configurations as industrial digital twins.

Cloud Technology That Drives Agility and Sustainability

Business success in the era of AI means being in the cloud. 51风流is making the move easier than ever with initiatives that help customers find partners with the expertise needed for complex 51风流S/4HANA Cloud transformations. Further cloud innovations at 51风流Sapphire include features that help the world鈥檚 organizations measure, manage and execute their sustainability strategies. 51风流Sustainability Control Tower and 51风流Sustainability Footprint Management solutions now track carbon footprints at scale and help businesses meet regulatory standards.

51风流ANZ recently hosted two exciting events in Melbourne and Auckland centred around unleashing the potential of accelerating youth skills development. The hackathon-style experiences were designed in collaboration with SAP鈥檚 AppHaus Partners 鈥 Bourne Digital, part of Accenture, and Datacom 鈥 providing a platform for students to explore their talents and understand the critical role of technology in addressing key sustainability challenges. The experiences took place over two days and gave students the chance to compete for an internship opportunity.

鈥淎t Bourne, we believe in empowering the next generation of innovators and leaders. Hosting this event in partnership with 51风流for students from local universities is a testament to our commitment to accelerating learning and fostering a culture of continuous growth. Together, we aim to unleash the full potential of the cloud and equip these talented minds with the skills to shape the future of technology. Let鈥檚 S.C.A.L.E new heights together!鈥 –听Tanvi听Mittal, Bourne Digital Partner Representative

Across the two days, students participated in expert-led workshops, seminars, and interactive sessions, and learnt how to approach solving sustainability challenges through AppGyver and SAC to design and implement business solutions. By empowering young minds with technical skills and an understanding of sustainable practices, we pave the way for a generation of innovators ready to think through critical challenges and embrace technology for the greater good.

The听S.C.A.L.E听program听displays the confidence we can have in a future听fit platform, with a future fit workforce to serve and solve the听problems of today and beyond.鈥澨嬧 Dave Payne, Associate Director of Core Platforms Datacom

From Classroom to Coding: Hacking the path to Cybersecurity

One of the participants, Nubuwa Yellub, is a young Indigenous student based in Townsville who has had a noteworthy journey from the classroom into the world of tech.

Fuelled by curiosity, Nubuwa’s fascination with technology began when he moved from remote Mabuiag Island in the Torres Strait, to attend secondary school at St Augustine鈥檚 College in Cairns on a scholarship from the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AIEF), one of SAP鈥檚 community partners.

Nubuwa witnessed his peers at school hacking computers which sparked a keen interest in technology and led him on a journey to explore and eventually master the programming language Python.

听鈥I鈥檝e always had an interest in technology, and I was fortunate enough to participate in Navy Cadets in high school where I saw how technology could be applied to all aspects of the Navy. This experience furthered my interest in technology and inspired me to think about how I could pursue a role in technology, particularly in cybersecurity.鈥濃 鈥 Nubuwa Yellub, participant, 51风流SCALE

The only Indigenous student in his current tertiary cohort, Nubuwa’s journey was fast-tracked when he was invited to attend SAP鈥檚 S.C.A.L.E event in Melbourne, supported by .

The experience brought with it a blend of nerves and excitement about the opportunity to travel to the city of Melbourne for the first time on his own. Nubuwa鈥檚 team worked together and won at the event with their presentation on 鈥淕reen Spaces鈥, designing and building an app in under two days to help the residents of Melbourne better utilise their green infrastructure and support the city in adapting to climate change.

Accelerating Skill Development

As the world faces pressing sustainability challenges, nurturing talent in various domains becomes essential to fostering innovative solutions. Central to the design of the event was accelerating student skill development and providing emerging talent with the necessary combination of digital and soft skills to enter the labour market and actively engage in their communities.

Over forty students from multiple disciplines engaged in the sessions and participants were encouraged to embrace their unique talents so they could gain valuable insights into potential career pathways aligned with their areas of interest.

Apart from technical skills, the focus was also on cultivating skills such as empathy, collaboration, and critical thinking. Students had access to 51风流mentors, partner-experts and executive stakeholders throughout the two days, to further support equipping them with the essential qualities demanded in today鈥檚 dynamic job market.

“I’m now at a crossroads because of the 51风流event…I’ve seen how they operate and the opportunities to create new products and apps, and I now think this could be a great career path for me to further develop my skills in 51风流platforms and accelerate my direction into cybersecurity.鈥 鈥 Nubuwa Yellub, participant, 51风流SCALE

Learning 51风流skills provides the ability to work in a variety of organisations, and helping to foster connections between students and industry offers a fertile ground for nurturing collective ideas and finding synergies to address global challenges more effectively.

Scaling the Opportunity

Nubuwa’s evolving aspirations, transitioning from the classroom to cybersecurity, reflect the profound impact hands-on learning and mentorship can have in accelerating a career trajectory. But what truly stands out is his resilience and willingness to embrace new experiences, a story representative of the transformative power of tech and seizing opportunities to chart a unique course.

By investing in youth skills development, we invest in a world of opportunity. Through these events, 51风流ANZ hopes to act as a catalyst for further development and greater experiences that encourage more students to recognise their unique potential.

Everyone loves the feeling you get attending a Cirque du Soleil show. It鈥檚 an experience that you remember because of how it made you feel.

When we conceived the idea for an inaugural event which will bring together industry thought leaders and technology experts to discuss how to future-proof your business, we wanted to create that same feeling. While lots of conferences deliver great speakers alone, the marketing team at 51风流ANZ wanted to create a complete experience that not only gives attendees relevant information but leaves you inspired to act on your newfound knowledge.

will be brought to life on Tuesday 8th August in Sydney. We scoured the city for venues and settled on the Hyatt Regency, for the very fact that it is not only a great space, but we can run the entire event on the same floor so everything is easily accessible and buzzy. We want to bring that vibe that we deliver in our global event SAPPHIRE in Orlando.

If the recent past has taught us one thing, it is that there are always unforeseeable changes in our industry and marketplace. Flexibility and agility have always been constants, but they now need to be coupled with resiliency.

At 51风流NOW 2023, we will delve into the strategies and actions required to successfully meet the demands of the present and the emerging future and future-proof your business. You鈥檒l have the opportunity to learn from industry leaders, technology experts, and innovative thinkers who will share their insights and strategies for navigating the digital landscape and driving success in the years to come. You’ll discover how to leverage cutting-edge technologies to unlock new opportunities, streamline processes, and enhance customer experiences.

Current relatable themes to spur new ideas

We will have three breakout tracks running and will feature 51风流experts and customers speaking across all these tracks, mostly in fireside chats or panel discussions.

The three breakout tracks are:

Company: Achieving sustainable growth as a听Company听or听Organisation听by adopting a culture of innovation and learning, and building a diverse, inclusive, flexible and agile workforce.

Customer: Anticipate the evolving needs and expectations of the future听Customer听by accelerating products and services rapidly and efficiently through streamlined processes and embracing digital.

Communities: Advocate corporate social responsibility and build stronger听Communities听by acting on data insights, circular economic practices and fostering business networks.

A bit of glitter

Probably the first thing you will notice about the event is that it does feature Cirque du Soleil. , Chief Growth Officer from Cirque du Soleil will fly in from Montreal for the event. We鈥檒l also incredibly have artists from Cirque du Soleil perform two acts for the audience.

We have also managed to secure , Former NSW Minister
Customer Service and Digital Government to close the event, where he鈥檒l share his thoughts on innovation and future-proofing.

And to close out the day, we鈥檝e got the icon, legend and phenomenon that is Kate Ceberano performing some of her greatest hits.

Immersive experiences

We want all attendees to be immersed in real life scenarios. So there will be three showcases featuring innovation on the show floor:.

Sustainability

An interactive demonstration of how 51风流and our ecosystem support complex, cross-industry value chains, such as food supply. See how ice cream goes from farm to consume and how 51风流software helps ensure that each step, and each business involved, is more sustainable and profitable.

Resilience

When your business depends on production, your supply chain is critical. It is the engine that drives your business. It can also be a source of constant risk for disruption. Experience how to holistically manage and mitigate business risk with a digital supply chain.

Agility

Get ready for a fun challenge in a racing simulation. Experience the Power of 51风流Innovations and Data Analytics in Sports AND听Discover how our AI solutions can help you stay ahead of the competition and achieve your business goals.
