In this SAP Design Talks episode, Jonas Lempa, Managing Director of Future and Innovation at Taikonauten, shares how he approaches design as problem solving grounded in everyday observations. He explores why inspiration is everywhere, from how we cross the street to why some product experiences still feel outdated, and how that curiosity helps teams rethink what they build and why.

You’ll also hear why experimentation and prototyping matter so much for innovation. Jonas explains how “try and error” helps teams move beyond theory to test what is practically possible, and how to think clearly about trends vs. megatrends so product teams can spot real change early across business, technology, and user needs.

See what’s new in SAP CPQ for SAP Cloud ERP 2602, with four updates that expand partner quoting, improve team collaboration, enable safer post-order review, and strengthen quote governance.

In this video, we highlight new capabilities designed to help you sell complex products faster and more accurately, with better control, fewer conflicts, and stronger compliance across the entire quoting process.

🔑 New External user license — Extend quoting access to resellers, distributors, and other non-employees in a cost-effective way. Admins gain clearer visibility into usage, while external users get the quoting access they need—without internal management rights.

👥 Simultaneous quote usage (live presence + change alerts) — Real-world deals involve multiple contributors. With 2602, users see who else is active on a quote (header and item-level indicators), plus UI notifications when changes occur—reducing overwritten edits, duplicate work, and delays.

🔍 View-only product configuration for ordered quotes — After an order is placed, quotes are typically locked. Now, users can open a configurable item in a read-only “View” mode to review selections safely—supporting faster customer responses, easier audits, and zero risk of changing a finalized transaction.

🛡️ Visibility + editability permissions for standard quote fields — Administrators can now set granular controls for standard fields (for example: Market, Effective Date, Pricebook, Sales Area) based on permission groups and quote status. The UI adapts automatically as quotes move through draft, submission, and approval—helping reduce accidental changes and unnecessary approval loops.

Chapters:
00:07 Introduction
00:34 Enablement of external-user license type
01:34 Simultaneous quote usage by multiple users
02:46 Read-only mode for item configuration
03:50 Visibility and editability permissions for standard quote fields

📦 New SAP Fiori app: Manage Physical Inventory Item List — A single workspace for physical inventory: filter by status and differences, then review results, post items, trigger recounts, and navigate to documents. Bulk actions and reason codes make exceptions faster and auditable.

✅ Order Promising: Supply Protection indicator — A new icon in Display Product Availability shows when supply protection affects available quantity, reducing manual checks and helping sales reps make faster availability decisions.

AI is the future, but it only works when it’s built on a single, trusted data foundation. In this customer story, IBM shares how modernizing to SAP Cloud ERP Private helped standardize global processes, retire legacy complexity, and accelerate productivity at scale.

IBM set out to tackle three major challenges: a large legacy portfolio, geographically fragmented processes, and the need for the latest technology to run a truly global business. The goal was clear: standardize onto a single global quote-to-cash and finance process, built to support long-term innovation, including AI.

IBM made the move from ECC to SAP Cloud ERP Private with a “big bang” deployment across 175+ countries and 150,000+ users, completed in just 18 months. By running SAP Cloud ERP Private on IBM Cloud via IBM Power Virtual Server, and implementing with IBM Consulting, IBM describes the program as a win-win that delivered measurable results from day one.

Post go-live, IBM reports major operational improvements:
✅ 30% reduction in operational costs to support the function
✅ 80%+ faster invoicing cycle time
✅ 70%+ reduction in accounts receivable payment matching cycle time leveraging AI
✅ 40%+ improvement in contract registration cycle time through automation

Beyond efficiencies, IBM highlights the strategic importance of SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) as a foundation for the next phase, supporting both clean core progress and integrations. IBM used the transition to jumpstart its clean core journey, including a 25% reduction in custom code.

This story is just the beginning of IBM’s transformation journey with SAP, and a strong example of how standardization, clean core, and modern cloud ERP can create the data foundation needed to scale AI-driven productivity.
