SAPinsider Interview
March 13, 2026
Our CEO, Egan Bosch, recently sat down with SAPinsider's Susan Galberaith to discuss how SAP IT leaders should approach artificial intelligence implementation alongside data modernization efforts.
"The answer starts with a strong data foundation and reporting logic that can be validated by the business."
Egan Bosch, CEO, Artisan Edge
The conversation explored why trustworthy AI depends on a strong data foundation rather than unexplainable algorithmic outputs. Not every organizational challenge requires AI solutions; deterministic automation often delivers faster, more auditable results than machine learning approaches.
Organizations can modernize reporting within legacy ECC environments without immediately migrating to SAP S/4HANA, reducing custom code risks and enabling a smoother path forward.
Maintaining a "single source of truth" for reporting across ERP systems, data warehouses like Snowflake and Databricks, and cloud environments was a key topic. The discussion highlighted how organizations can unify analytics across platforms without compromising data integrity.
A pharmaceutical client example demonstrated how deterministic approaches to inventory profitability analysis provided better outcomes than AI-driven anomaly detection, reinforcing the importance of choosing the right tool for the job.
