In Denmark, weather changes quickly—sunshine turning to downpours in a flash. And according to Morten Rye Christensen, CIO of Semler IT, that volatility is a fitting metaphor for digital transformation. “We had a lot of technical debt. Our old ERP system was reliable, but it held us back,” he explains. Today, Semler—a $6B Danish automotive juggernaut that imports, sells, services, and finances vehicles across Denmark and the Baltics—is orchestrating one of Europe’s boldest ERP transformations: a complete rebuild of its dealer management system on Microsoft Dynamics 365, with a healthy dose of Azure and AI.

ERP systems have always promised control, structure, and efficiency. But if you ask Georg Glantschnig, VP of Dynamics 365 AI ERP at Microsoft, that’s not enough anymore. Today’s ERP, he argues, must evolve into something intelligent, autonomous, and user-adaptive—capable of learning from its users, not just serving them. 

“Practicality is the new aspiration,” Glantschnig says. “ERP can no longer just support a business process. It needs to run it.” 

At a glance, that might sound like yet another AI-era platitude. But under the surface, Microsoft is staking out a radically different ERP future—one powered by agentic AI, consumption-based economics, and a design philosophy that favors human adaptability over system rigidity. 

At SAP Sapphire 2025 in Orlando, one topic radiated from every keynote, side-stage, and solution booth like the Florida heat itself: artificial intelligence. But amid the halo grabbers—“agentic AI,” “native autonomy,” “digital workforce”—one voice stood out for its clarity, pragmatism, and strategic depth. That voice belonged to Sean Kask, SAP’s Chief AI Strategy Officer.

In a revealing, freewheeling interview with ERP Today, Kaskpeeled back the curtain on how SAP is building, scaling, and operationalizing AI at enterprise scale—not just as a technology trend, but as a competitive moat. “Even I have trouble keeping track of all the announcements and use cases,” he admitted with a laugh. “But make no mistake—this has been years in the making.”

When Dean Crounse joined Fluence as VP of Enterprise Platforms, the company had just crossed the $900 million revenue mark. Two years later, it’s closing in on $4 billion. In that time, the global energy storage leader—born from a joint venture between Siemens and AES—has moved at breakneck speed to scale operations, deploy clean energy infrastructure, and modernize core systems, all while keeping its sights on a $10 billion horizon.

For Chase Christensen, Vice President and CIO of Business Units and Enterprise Solutions at Jabil, resilience isn’t a buzzword—it’s a business imperative. With operations in over 25 countries and 135 locations, Jabil is one of the world’s leading manufacturing services companies, serving customers across industries from healthcare to automotive. The company’s lean margins and massive scale demand precision, agility, and above all, technology that delivers measurable business value. That’s why Jabil’s relationship with SAP is more than just a legacy—it’s an evolving partnership rooted in performance.
