It’s my pleasure to announce that the newest version of Avantra, 23.2, is now available for download through our customer hub. In this release we’ve focussed on bringing performance enhancements and usability improvements as well as enhancing our platform extensibility experience and bringing new automation templates to remove some of the mundane tasks that we know SAP operations teams get stuck doing rather than spending time on the more important stuff.

SAPPHIRE 2023 marked another significant milestone, leaving a lasting impression in the books. Returning to the Orlando Convention Center, the event had that ‘SAP energy’ we’re used to as thousands of like minded individuals congregated to exchange experiences, delve into SAP's upcoming plans, and foster valuable connections. Going beyond the walls of the convention center, SAPPHIRE extended its reach into the surrounding areas of Orlando.

With the 34°C / 104°F heat and a far cry from the 18°C / 64°F I returned home to, it was time to reflect on SAP Sapphire Orlando 2023, the trade show that was the first, in my opinion, post pandemic Sapphire since 2019. Over 13 thousand business leaders, partners and SAP staff descended on the Orange County Convention center in Orlando, Florida to discuss and debate all things SAP. So what were the key takeaways from my side?
