Do you have any recommendations or experiences with tools or platforms that can help me implement generative AI in my procurement and contract management processes? I’m interested in exploring how generative AI can be leveraged in procurement and contract management. I think these are some of the possible use cases: Generating natural language summaries or reports from complex and large datasets, creating realistic and relevant scenarios or simulations based on historical data and current market conditions, and designing novel solutions or suggestions for sourcing strategies, negotiation tactics, contract clauses, etc. What are your opinions on these use cases?

We are looking at migrating from SAP ECC to S/4HANA. As part of this migration process we would like to conduct a Proof of Concept (PoC) for the migration - in particular when deciding to go brownfields or greenfields. Has anyone conducted a PoC with a SAP Service Provider, and do you have any lessons learned or feedback on the migration process?

A clarifying question- you want to test the migration process as such or Hana capabilities?
