Every SAP Customer Thinks They’re Different

“Every SAP customer thinks they’re different…” - but according to Capgemini’s David Lowson, that mindset is one of the biggest reasons SAP transformations go off track. In this episode of Configure It Done, we sit down with David Lowson, a global SAP leader with visibility across more than 1,600 SAP projects worldwide, to unpack the lessons organisations can no longer afford to ignore. From multi-year S/4HANA programs that stalled after a single go-live, to the rise of AI-driven SAP transformation, David shares a brutally honest view of what works, what fails, and why so many businesses repeat the same mistakes. We cover: Why Australia has been slower to move to S/4HANA The common traps organisations fall into during transformation Why “clean core” and standardisation are becoming essential The reality behind large-scale Greenfield implementations How AI is reshaping SAP delivery and consulting careers Why 2026 could become a tipping point for SAP projects in Australia If you’re leading an SAP transformation, planning your S/4 roadmap, or working in the SAP ecosystem, this episode delivers practical insights, hard truths, and a global perspective on where the market is heading next.
