SAP Connect 2026 (Las Vegas, 5-7 October) put dates on the Autonomous Enterprise: Joule Work rolling out in October, assistants per domain with Q4 2026 and Q1 2027 plans, SAP Pay generally available in the US and UK, SAP Reltio in BDC generally available, Enterprise Financial Consolidation for early adopters in Q1 2027, and an agreement to acquire TechWolf. It announced nothing new for Datasphere, SAC or BDC Connect. This module teaches the consultant to turn that into a three-to-five-commitment brief in three hours, every claim with its source tier and status.

What you will learn

  • Classify every SAP Connect 2026 claim by source tier and status (GA now, GA planned, EAC planned, demo, intent, unconfirmed)
  • State the availability and evidence for Joule Work, the Autonomous Suite domains, SAP Pay, TechWolf, SAP Reltio and Enterprise Financial Consolidation
  • Name what Connect did not announce for SAP Datasphere, SAP Analytics Cloud and BDC Connect, and why that matters for a data roadmap
  • Write and defend a one-page brief with three to five commitments and a deliberately-left-out box

Module overview

Who this is for. You advise clients on SAP AI and analytics, you took M302 (the SAP Sapphire 2026 decoder) or know its method, and a sponsor now asks the question that follows every SAP event: "What did SAP Connect change for us, and what can we put in next year's plan?" This module answers it for SAP Connect 2026 (Las Vegas, 5-7 October 2026) and trains the habit behind the answer: every claim gets a source tier and a status before it goes into a client document.

Prerequisites

  • M302 (SAP Sapphire 2026 keynote signal decoder) or equivalent practice in reading SAP announcements
  • Working knowledge of Joule, SAP Business Data Cloud and SAP Cloud ERP at concept-card level (C024, C009)

Outcomes

  • Produce a 15-20 row claim log for SAP Connect 2026 in which every row has a tier, a status and a primary link.
  • Reduce the log to three to five commitments mapped to entity, product and owner, with a watch-list for intent and unconfirmed items.
  • Deliver a one-page brief and defend it in two minutes, including what was left out and why.
