Stability in Motion: The Rise of Autonomous Control

Dan Twing, President and COO at Enterprise Associates Management

Join Dan Twing, leading analyst and author of EMA’s Radar Report for Workload Automation and Orchestration, to explore how automation teams can stay steady while everything around them accelerates. In this keynote, he will unpack the shift from traditional workload automation toward more intelligent, autonomous control. Learn how orchestration, observability, and AI are reshaping operations, and what this means for the future of stable, reliable production in an era of continuous change.

Beyond Automation: Powering the Autonomous Operations with Intelligent Automation

Leon Stamm, VP of Marketing

The future of IT operations isn't just automated, it's autonomous. In this keynote, we unveil our strategic vision for intelligent automation and observability that transforms reactive data centers into self-managing, self-healing ecosystems. We'll show how Beta Systems is empowering enterprises to move from automation to autonomy – where your infrastructure doesn't just respond to commands, but thinks ahead.

The Road to Outcome-Centric Orchestration: Beta Systems’ Strategic AI Blueprint

Gert Adolphsen, General Manager Americas

AI is already enhancing orchestration — but productivity gains are only the first step. The real transformation begins when orchestration evolves from executing predefined jobs to delivering measurable business outcomes by design.

In this session, we explore the journey from AI-assisted workflows to fully agentic, outcome-centric orchestration.

Attendees will gain a clear perspective on how AI reshapes roles within Enterprise Orchestration.

If you want to understand what comes after copilots and assistants — and how to position yourself and your organization for the next phase of AI-driven automation — this session is for you.

The ANOW! Roadmap: Executing the Shift to Outcome-Centric Operations

Melahat Elis, VP Product Product Strategy & Development Cloud

AI agents are rapidly entering enterprise systems, accelerating decision velocity and operational complexity. The shift toward outcome-centric operations is no longer conceptual — it must now be executed in real production environments.

In this session, we present the ANOW! 2026+ roadmap and demonstrate how orchestration evolves into a governed control layer for intelligent enterprise operations. Explore how scalable AI-native automation, predictive and executive-grade observability, secure agent interoperability, and sovereign governance come together to enable measurable business impact — not just task execution.

This roadmap turns strategy into platform reality.

ANOW! Observe — Turning Enterprise Automation into Operational Control

Christian Vaters, Senior Product Manager and Marius Jansen, IT Specialist Workload Automation & Scheduling at LVM

Enterprise automation environments are growing faster than ever — more jobs, more dependencies, more integrations, more critical business impact.

Yet when something fails, teams still jump between tools, logs, tickets, and dashboards trying to understand what actually happened. Automation has scaled. Operational transparency has not.

In this session, together with our pilot customer LVM, we show how ANOW! Observe brings clarity to complex automation landscapes. Instead of isolated alerts and fragmented signals, automation becomes visible end-to-end. Context is automatically enriched. Dependencies become transparent. Incidents become structured.

From unified data ingestion to correlated insights, targeted alerting, and governed remediation — ANOW! Observe transforms automation from reactive firefighting into operational control.

If automation runs your business, you need to understand it before you can scale it.

Reduce Operational Complexity and Increase Your Team's Capacity

Gert Adolphsen, General Manager Americas

AI and Machine Learning, enhanced Digitalization and many other initiatives will contribute to significant workloads that need to be automated, managed and monitored. Without corresponding increases in staffing, IT leaders must act now to reduce operational complexity in order to free up staff capacity to manage increased workloads. This session will show a practical approach and real-life examples of how to achieve that with ANOW! Automate.

Broadcom Automic Exit Strategy with ANOW! Automate

Miroslaw Andziak, VP CEEMEA, Nordics & APAC, Executive Director

You should attend this session if you want a clearer understanding of the financial and strategic implications of remaining dependent on Automic in today’s market environment. We will explain why developing an exit strategy is increasingly becoming a governance requirement and what decision-makers should be evaluating now to retain control over costs, innovation, and long-term flexibility. You will also gain insight into how structured migration approaches can reduce risk and operational complexity without disrupting critical business processes.

Enhancing Azure DevOps with ANOW! Automate: From CI/CD to Enterprise-Grade Delivery

Paweł Cul, Principal Solution Engineer

Azure DevOps is a powerful and well-designed platform — but is it enough on its own for enterprise-scale delivery?

In this session, we’ll show how ANOW! Automate complements Azure DevOps by extending CI/CD pipelines with unified artifact lifecycle management, automated promotion, governance, and cross-environment orchestration.

Learn how to move from “pipelines that build” to delivery processes that scale, comply, and stay under control.

From R/3 to RISE & BTP: Orchestrating the SAP Cloudification Journey with a Single Intelligent Control Plane

René Keitemeier, Senior Solution Engineer

Hybrid SAP landscapes are the new normal—but how do you run R/3, RISE with SAP, and GROW with SAP as one consistent, resilient process?

In this technical deep dive, discover how a single event-driven orchestration layer unifies legacy and cloud systems into one intelligent workflow. See how real-time triggers synchronize cross-system jobs, how “bridge mode” enables safe phased migration with instant fallback, and how centralized monitoring delivers end-to-end SLA transparency.

We’ll also demonstrate automated incident response with ticketing, Teams alerts, and human-in-the-loop validation.

If you are navigating the SAP cloud transition, this session shows how to reduce risk while moving toward autonomous operations.

From Data to Decisions: AI-Driven Advanced Analytics Powered by ANOW! Automate

Daniel Sosiński, Head of Solution Engineers & Principal Architect

In this session, we demonstrate how ANOW! Automate serves as the "Super Orchestrator," seamlessly weaving AI-driven platforms and cloud services into reliable, end-to-end analytical pipelines. While high-performance AI and data platforms provide the raw power to process and analyze massive datasets at lightning speed, ANOW! Automate ensures this power is deployed intelligently, cost-efficiently, and exactly when the business needs it. We will explore how to transform isolated analytical workloads into integrated, business-ready decision engines that operate with surgical precision.

Empowered Automation: Easy Integrations, Real Control

Adam Keeling, Senior Solution Engineer

Organizations don’t struggle with automation because they lack ideas. They struggle because integrations can be challenging to build, hard to govern, and difficult to scale without creating risk and confusion. In this session, we’ll show how ANOW! Automate closes the integration gap by making it easy to create seamless, purpose-built integrations while still giving administrators and developers the control they need to protect data, standardize objects, and enforce guardrails.

We’ll walk through how to enable integration-driven automation across various business scenarios. You’ll see real, practical patterns you can implement immediately, reusable integration building blocks, standardized objects, and safe user experiences that reduce complexity while increasing adoption.

Plan to leave with actionable ideas, repeatable integration patterns, and a clear starting plan to scale automation safely and quickly.
