How is AI changing WorkTech – and what role does SAP play, ANDREAS ENNEKING?

In this episode of the SAATKORN Podcast, I’m talking to Andreas Enneking, Head of Value Advisory at SAP. Andreas works closely with customers to help them unlock real business value from HR technology – both during implementation and long after go-live.

One quote that really stuck with me:

“Technology evolves incredibly fast – but the real challenge is bringing data, systems, and organizations along with it.”

Under other topics, we spoke about: the future of HR tech, the impact of AI and vibe coding on SaaS platforms, what really makes HR software projects successful, and how SAP itself deals with change when implementing its own technology.

🤝 HR & IT: Why Successful HR Tech Projects Need Both

HR software projects rarely succeed if they’re driven by only one side. According to Andreas, the key ingredient is true collaboration between HR and IT—because HR understands the processes, while IT ensures integration, security, and scalability.

🤖 AI, Vibe Coding & the Future of SaaS

Despite the hype around AI and “vibe coding,” Andreas doesn’t believe SaaS platforms will disappear. Instead, he sees a future where standard HR platforms remain the system of record, while organizations quickly build custom solutions on top.

🚀 After Go-Live: Where the Real Work Begins

Many companies treat implementation as the finish line. Andreas argues the opposite: the real value comes after go-live, when organizations continuously adopt new innovations, updates, and capabilities released by the platform.
