FWB:SAP

SAP SE has announced plans to merge its subsidiary emarsys interactive services GmbH into the parent company through a simplified intra-group merger. The transaction will take effect internally from January 1, 2026, with all operations of emarsys deemed to be carried out on behalf of SAP SE until the subsidiary is formally dissolved.

As SAP SE already holds 100% of emarsys, the merger will proceed without requiring shareholder approval, a general meeting, or additional audit and reporting procedures under German transformation law. However, SAP shareholders representing at least 5% of share capital retain the right to request a general meeting to vote on the merger.

The move reflects a structural simplification within SAP’s corporate organization, with relevant merger documents and financial statements for both entities made available to shareholders.
SAP’s Supervisory and Executive Boards have proposed a dividend of €2.50 per share for fiscal year 2025, up €0.15 or 6.4% from the prior year.

Record date: May 5, 2026
Ex-dividend date: May 6, 2026
Payment date: May 8, 2026

IBM Launches Transformation Suite to Accelerate SAP Cloud Migration

On March 24, 2025, IBM announced the general availability of its Transformation Suite for SAP Applications, a new offering aimed at simplifying and speeding up the migration to SAP S/4HANA and RISE with SAP. The suite addresses common migration challenges such as long timelines, high costs, and integration complexities by automating key tasks including technical assessments, data and code migration, and testing.

By bundling software and services from IBM and partners like SNP, the Transformation Suite offers a streamlined, cost-efficient migration process and ongoing support.

Key benefits for clients include accelerated and flexible ERP transformation, minimized downtime, and lower migration costs. For partners, it simplifies procurement, reduces administrative burdens, and expands business opportunities. Core tools include SNP Kyano Foundation for data landscape assessment and SNP Kyano Move for restructuring and integration.

IBM’s suite aims to support both businesses and their partners in navigating complex SAP migrations with greater ease and efficiency.
