The SAP AI Intelligence Event at Booking.com, 3 day community meetup

-

We recorded live from the SAP AI Intelligence Event hosted at the stunning Booking.com HQ in Amsterdam — a 3-day community-driven event that brought together SAP developers, AI practitioners, academics, and developer advocates from across Europe and beyond.

Here's a taste of what we covered:
  • AI Voice Agents in Healthcare — Ronald van der Looij (Versaia) shared how they're building AI agents to proactively manage medication reviews for elderly patients and reduce costly no-shows in mental health care. The ROI is real: one missed mental health appointment = €600 lost.
  • The 4 Layers of AI — Evelien van der Hurk (CGI / former TU Denmark) broke down descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics — and why the last one could unlock 20%+ savings for enterprises. Plus a sharp warning on AI bias that had the room talking.
  • APM for ABAP — Marc Bernard introduced apm.to, a package manager for ABAP developers. Think NPM, but for SAP. Live in weeks. ABAP is not dead!
  • SAP Developer Advocates — A brilliant panel on when AI actually makes sense (spoiler: not everywhere), the future of SaaS, and how to avoid getting lost in the hype.

The big takeaway? AI is not the solution for everything — but knowing WHERE it adds real value is the skill that matters now.

Huge thanks to Robert Eijpe for organizing this incredible event, and to Booking.com, Eswelt, Conduct, SAP, Lemongrass, AWS, and NL4B for making it possible.

SAP NetWeaver CE Install party

On January 13th we gathered for our TopForce Knowledge Night: SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 EHP1 install party . Goal was to get the CE installed and running on the participants (16) laptops. After installation we planned to build the demo scenario as described in my SDN blog Easy process implementation with SAP NetWeaver BPM . Quite a full program, and we almost made it to the end. As we had to leave the office at 21:30 sharp we ran out of time and could not deploy and test run the application. Despite that we had a great evening with a lot of fun, strange issues (with 16 laptops you can get 16 different error messages) and new SAP NetWeaver BPM enthusiasts . Temperature is rising, will it work or not? See Tim looking really seriously to his process composer "Great stuff". Conclusions of the evening: Without the install manual it is very hard, installing CE is not plug and play Installing the downloaded SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio is even more complicated.
