👉 I help Upskill your employees in SAP, Workday, Cloud, Data Science, AI, DevOps, SalesForce, CyberSecurity, Oracle | Edtech Expert | Top 40 SAP influencer | CEO & Founder

Most professionals don’t fail in SAP or Workday because they lack talent.
They fail because no one shows them the roadmap.

For many, the tech world feels overwhelming. New tools. New versions. New expectations.
And training often feels like noise instead of clarity.

My journey isn’t traditional either.
- I built ZaranTech in 2009 from a small office in Iowa as a single dad trying to create something meaningful.
- No investors. No shortcuts.
- Just a mission to make high-quality SAP & Workday education accessible to anyone willing to learn.

Today, that mission has turned into something bigger than I ever imagined:
- 30,000+ students trained.
- 300+ corporate clients served.
- Thousands of SAP & Workday careers transformed.
- One of the largest video training libraries in the world.

I've worked with organizations like TCS, EY, KPMG, LG, Micron, Sony, Target, Palo Alto, Splunk, Lennox, Birlasoft, Samsung and many more—helping them upskill teams, modernize capabilities, and stay ahead of the curve.

Whether you're:
• A professional looking to break into SAP or Workday
• A consultant wanting to specialize and grow
• A corporate leader responsible for building future-ready teams

I help bridge the gap with real-world learning, hands-on training, and clear career pathways that actually work.

If you're ready to grow, I can help you get there.

Let’s build the future of enterprise talent - together.

What We Teach.

We specialize in corporate IT training for:
✔ SAP – S/4HANA, AI IBP, CPI, MDG, FICO & more
✔ Workday – HCM, Financials, Security, Integrations

Spent 120+ hours distilling SAP’s 2026 reality into a 250+ page roadmap
…and we’re giving it away for FREE.

Because 2026 is not “just another upgrade year”.
It’s the inflection point for S/4HANA, Cloud, and Business AI.

✅ This guide is for:
- CIOs & Enterprise IT Leaders
- SAP Program Sponsors & Transformation Heads
- SAP Architects, Consultants & Practice Leaders
- Business & Digital Transformation Executives
…who want clarity, timing, and execution control as SAP ECC sunsets and AI becomes operational reality.

It’s a decision-grade SAP roadmap built from real programs, real metrics, and real outcomes.

✅ What you’ll get inside:
→ SAP 2026 Strategic Roadmap - what must happen before the 2027 deadline
→ Clear S/4HANA migration paths: Greenfield, Brownfield, Selective (Bluefield)
→ Clean Core strategy - what to keep, refactor, move to BTP, or retire
→ SAP BTP as innovation backbone - integrations, extensions, analytics, automation
→ Business AI execution - Joule Copilot, Joule Agents, and agentic workflows
→ Data as foundation - SAP Datasphere, Business Data Cloud, AI readiness
→ Quantified ROI insights: 547% five-year ROI, 30%+ productivity gains
→ 30-day action plan for executives entering 2026 decision windows
→ Role & skills transformation roadmap for SAP professionals

✅ Why this matters now:
→ Only ~50% of SAP customers will be migrated by end of 2025
→ Waiting until 2026-2027 drives 2-3× higher consulting costs
→ Clean Core is now non-negotiable, not optional
→ AI value is compounding - organizations delaying fall 12-24 months behind
→ Cloud, data, and AI must move in parallel, not sequentially

This roadmap shows how winning enterprises are executing all five shifts together.

✅ Table of Contents (highlights):
Chapter 1 - Executive Summary & Key Takeaways
Chapter 2 - The State of SAP by 2026: Five Big Shifts
Chapter 3 - SAP's 2026 Product and Platform Vision
Chapter 4 - The S/4HANA Roadmap to 2026: Migration Paths and Clean Core Strategy

Code Smarter, Not Harder. 
AI Agents for SAP ABAP Developers (ADRI AI)

I keep seeing posts about “AI agents in SAP.”

But almost none explain why ChatGPT...
...copilots fail so badly for ABAP
Or what finally changed to make AI actually usable inside real SAP systems.

So on Thursday, January 8 at 10 AM CST, I’m going live on LinkedIn Live with practitioners and builders who are solving this problem where it truly matters - inside customer SAP landscapes.

This is not theory.
This is execution.

Podcast: LinkedIn & YouTube Live

Featuring:
1. Devraj Bardhan - SAP AI Leader, IBM
2. Shyam Swaroop - Founder, Adri AI (YC)
3. Darshita Chaturvedi - Founder, Adri AI (YC)

Together, we’ll unpack something every ABAP developer needs to understand now:

How system-aware AI agents (Adri AI (YC)) are becoming real co-developers for SAP ABAP teams.

This session is designed with one clear goal:
Help ABAP developers move from manual effort to intelligent automation - without breaking trust, accuracy or SAP best practices.

What we’ll break down, step by step:

- Why generic AI tools hallucinate SAP tables, BAPIs, and function modules
- Why ABAP isn’t “hard” - but tooling and context have been the real blockers
- What system-aware AI agents actually mean for ABAP developers
- How Adri AI (YC) indexes real SAP systems, including custom Z code and DDIC objects
- Where AI agents already help today:
  * Debugging legacy ABAP
  * Understanding 10+ year old ECC code
  * Finding the right tables, exits, and BAPIs
  * Drafting specs and scaffolding code safely
- How AI realistically supports:
  * ECC maintenance
  * ECC to S/4HANA migrations
  * Clean core and S/4 modernization projects
- What ABAP developers should not trust AI with yet - and why
- Why AI augments ABAP developers instead of replacing them

Yes, we’ll take live questions.
Yes, we’ll keep it practical.
And yes - this is for developers who want to stay ahead, not catch up later.

Event Details
→ Topic: Code Smarter, Not Harder: AI Agents for SAP ABAP Developers
→ Guests: Devraj Bardhan (SAP AI Leader, IBM), Shyam Swaroop & Darshita Chaturvedi (Founders, Adri AI (YC))
→ Host: Alok Kumar, CEO - ZaranTech
→ Date: Thursday, January 8, 2026
→ Time: 10 AM CST (USA)
→ Platform: LinkedIn Live (Replay available)

If you’re still coding ABAP the same way you did five years ago,
This session will challenge that comfort zone.

Repost ♻️ this to help one ABAP developer rethink their future.
Let’s turn AI agents from curiosity into daily capability.

P.S. The future of ABAP isn’t writing more code. It’s spending less time hunting for tables and more time designing smarter systems, with AI agents that actually understand SAP.

Code Smarter, Not Harder: AI Agents for SAP ABAP Developers (ADRI AI)

My first LinkedIn post felt like nothing.

No likes.
No comments.
No traction.

I remember staring at the screen and thinking,
Does anyone even see this?

I started ZaranTech in 2009.

The early days moved fast.
BA. QA. SAP training.
Clients came in.
Revenue doubled year over year.

For a while, it felt easy.

I told myself it was momentum.
Maybe it was.
Maybe it was beginner’s luck.

Then everything broke.

A massive data breach.
My team walked away.
I sold my home.

To keep the company alive, I poured in over $250,000 of my own money
 just to cover rent and payroll.

That was rock bottom.

Every day felt like fight or flight.
Anxiety before sleep.
Stress before every decision.

But I still showed up.

Not because I was confident.
Because quitting would have meant walking away from everyone who depended on us.

So we made hard decisions.

We stopped chasing everything.
We focused only on what mattered.

Corporate training.
On-demand learning.
Real experts.
Relentless focus on quality.

No shortcuts.
No noise.

Just patience.

I believed.
I invested.
I waited.

Slow progress eventually turned into momentum.

Today:

* 30,000+ students trained
* 300+ corporate clients
* Live courses generating steady revenue

None of this happened overnight.
None of it was glamorous.

And none of it would exist if I had quit during the mess.

Here’s what that phase taught me:

1. Nobody skips the messy middle.
2. Success is quiet work done consistently.
3. Consistency beats talent when talent gets tired.

If you’re in a phase where nothing seems to be working,
keep showing up.

That phase is not failure.
It’s the foundation.

P.S. Are you in the messy middle right now, or have you already come out of it?

12 SAP Datasphere Integration Points Across Business Functions

Your business doesn’t need more data.
It needs connected data that actually means something - across every team.

Most SAP teams implement modules in isolation:
- Finance does its thing
- Procurement does theirs
- Reporting is playing catch-up

That’s why SAP Datasphere exists - to make sure your data stops living in silos.

Here are 12 critical SAP Datasphere integration points every enterprise needs to get right:

1. General Ledger (GL)
 → Centralizes journal entries across systems
 → Enables unified financial reporting with HANA Cloud

2. Accounts Payable (AP)
 → Connects vendor invoices and payments
 → Improves vendor spend visibility using Replication Flows

3. Accounts Receivable (AR)
 → Consolidates customer receivables
 → Supports revenue analysis through SAP Analytics Cloud

4. Asset Accounting
 → Unifies asset lifecycle and valuation data
 → Ensures asset integrity across S/4HANA systems

5. Bank Accounting
 → Provides real-time access to cash flow and transactions
 → Keeps financials up-to-date

6. Cost Center Accounting
 → Tracks costs across departments
 → Boosts compliance and control via analytical models

7. Profit Center Accounting
 → Analyzes profit by business segment
 → Enhances margin tracking

8. Internal Orders
 → Monitors internal project costs
 → Avoids data replication with federation

9. Product Costing
 → Aligns component views across plants
 → Supports cost transparency with remote tables

10. Profitability Analysis (CO-PA)
 → Links sales and cost data
 → Enables real-time profitability reporting

11. Integration with MM (Procurement)
 → Combines PO, GR, and vendor data
 → Drives procurement analytics

12. Integration with SD (Sales)
 → Merges billing, orders, and returns
 → Enables full order-to-cash visibility

Real transformation happens when your data layers aren’t just visible...
They’re connected & contextualized.

P.S. Save this for your next SAP architecture or integration planning session - it’s the blueprint for connected operations.
