Later in the day, there were break-out sessions (deep-dive sessions), were like-minded folks got together to discuss their top-of-mind topic. The two that were heavily attended were in the areas of S/4HANA and Intelligent Asset Management.

The 4 themes were:
- Railways going to Cloud: the presenters shared their strategy and how they want to go about transitioning to cloud-based computing for their enterprise IT environments. A survey was also done on-site to give a quick insight on where each participant’s company is in their cloud journey vis-à-vis their SAP landscapes.
- People matters: HXM portfolios were discussed, including example roadmaps that operators shared on their HCM journey. A change management aspect was also raised from the business side and the challenges and opportunities when executing these changes.
- Processes and Applications: process and data flows, especially in the Asset Management Applications space of railways were presented and discussed. Topics touched included: data flows between core S/4 and cloud IAM solutions, BIM, and process mining with respect to asset management applications.
- Data driven business: the insights to be generated from the various data sets available, be it from SAP transactional systems or others were discussed. Topics touched were data orchestration with SAP DI and Data Quality when it comes to the reliability of what the outcomes will be. A use case in network planning on BW/4HANA was also shared.
Later in the day, there were break-out sessions (deep-dive sessions), were like-minded folks got together to discuss their top-of-mind topic.
