Friday 17 July 2026 at 2:00 PM CET, 8:00 AM ET By Sebastiano Marchesini (SAP Architect and SAP Champion – Business Technology Platform & AI) Register now using the link below: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4521335205731525462 Abstract: Cloud and AI are no longer on the horizon for most enterprises, they're already running or trying in production, for better or worse. This session looks at how organizations are actually adopting these technologies today: what's working, where implementations get stuck, and what the more successful deployments have in common. The examples come from real projects across defense contracting, food manufacturing, and consumer goods: not from slide decks. We'll cover intelligent automation, ERP cloud migration patterns, and early applications of agentic AI in enterprise settings. We'll also spend some time on what's coming. The ERP modernization wave tied to SAP's 2027–2030 end-of-maintenance deadlines is one of the larger forced-migration events in enterprise IT history, and AI is already changing how that work gets done. This session is planned as the first in a series on cloud architecture, digital transformation, and applied AI in enterprise environments. Presenter’s bio: Sebastiano Marchesini is a Solution Architect focused on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), S/4HANA cloud migration, and AI-driven enterprise ...

By eliminating reactive power losses and reducing multiple AC–DC conversion stages inherent to traditional AC systems, DC architectures can achieve improved efficiency, simplified design, and enhanced controllability. The shift toward DC distribution aligns with the rapid growth of renewable energy and energy storage technologies. Since many distributed energy resources, such as photovoltaic (PV) systems and batteries, operate with DC power, DC distribution enables more direct integration, reduces conversion losses, and increases on-site energy self-consumption. In this context, widespread adoption of DC systems introduces new technical challenges and opportunities in power electronics and system design. These include the development of advanced DC–DC converter topologies, high-performance grid-interface converters for AC–DC interoperability, and improved control, monitoring, and protection strategies. In particular, the lack of natural current zero-crossing ...
