JLR’s clean core playbook: governance before innovation
JLR’s SAP S/4HANA transformation follows a “Clean Core” strategy designed to balance standardization with the realities of global manufacturing complexity. The key theme is disciplined governance: JLR established a pyramid of governance using SAP Activate principles, moving from Standard Configuration to Green Extensions and increasing scrutiny for Amber/Red deviations. For every proposed customization, a governing board reviews options, total cost of ownership, and the roadmap back to clean core. The article emphasizes that modern extensibility—especially Fiori-only access and sidecar capabilities enabled via BTP and RAP—allows JLR to address industry gaps without compromising the core system. The takeaway: clean core is ongoing, not a one-time migration.
 
Enterprise AI at scale: SAP + NVIDIA connect intelligence to business
SAP and NVIDIA are aligning to advance enterprise AI transformation by connecting AI technologies with deep business context. The article describes an end-to-end lifecycle approach—from model training acceleration using NVIDIA NeMo to hosted model execution through SAP AI Core and generative AI hub.
