From Strategy to System: Designing an Automation-First SAP Transformation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the second episode of this three-part series, the conversation shifts from leadership principles to real-world execution.
Dr. Nick Kabanov and co-host Dr. Mark Darbyshire are joined by Mihai Faur, CIO at UiPath, to unpack how those principles shaped UiPath’s automation-first SAP transformation.
The discussion covers:
- Why UiPath chose a clean core approach over heavy SAP customization
- How decisions were made between automation, APIs, and ABAP
- Where automation accelerated testing and reduced go-live risk
- The trade-offs enterprise leaders face when designing ERP systems for change
This episode is a practical look at how strategic intent turns into system architecture — and why automation needs to be designed into transformation programs, not added after the fact.
