Show Notes

In this episode of Configure It Done, Jay and Chay sit down with Paul Dearlove, who brings experience from SAP, Google and DXC Technology. Drawing on perspectives from across the vendor, hyperscaler and services sides of the ecosystem, Paul shares what separates successful SAP programmes from those that struggle.

The conversation explores why people, partnerships and preparation are often the biggest drivers of success. Paul discusses the importance of breaking down silos, aligning SAP, cloud and data strategies, and bringing the right stakeholders together from the outset. From S/4HANA and RISE to real-world lessons across mining, banking and defence, this episode offers practical insights for SAP leaders looking to avoid common pitfalls and deliver successful transformation programmes.
