André Christ hat dies repostetAndré Christ hat dies repostet🎾 Was für eine Woche. Was für ein Turnier. Was für eine Atmosphäre. Die Bonn Open 2026 haben eindrucksvoll gezeigt, warum Sport Menschen begeistert, verbindet und bewegt. Hochklassiges Tennis, volle Tribünen, emotionale Momente und eine einzigartige Stimmung haben dieses Event zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht. Für uns als #TSystems war das Engagement weit mehr als nur ein Sponsoring. Es war Kollaboration at its best. Gemeinsam mit T Cloud, T Business und #TGlasfaser sowie SAP LeanIX und den Telekom Baskets Bonn konnten wir unseren Kunden zeigen, was die Kombination aus Spitzenleistung, Teamgeist und regionaler Verbundenheit bewirken kann. Denn genau diese Werte machen die Bonn Open aus und genau deshalb sind wir stolz, Partner dieses Turniers zu sein. Ein großes Dankeschön an den Veranstalter André Christ sowie das Organisationsteam rund um Rebecca Quebbemann, die dieses Turnier auf das nächste Level gehoben haben. Und noch einmal vielen Dank an die Speaker und Gäste unseres Events „GAME. SET. STACK.“, die wir im Rahmen dieses Sponsorings letzte Woche bei Paul Walterscheid und seinem Team im #CXC der Deutschen Telekom begrüßen durften. 👉 Start your Magenta journey here:http://ms.spr.ly/6044aEZxm #BonnOpen #TStyle #CreateConnectionsThatMatter #OneT

André Christ hat dies geteiltThat's a wrap on the Bonn Open 2026, and it was our biggest edition yet. A new attendance record with more than 10,000 spectators, sold-out days, and a final that could not have been scripted better. Jan Choinski, No 77 in the world, took the title without dropping a single set all week, his tenth ATP Challenger trophy. On the other side of the net, 18-year-old Jamie Mackenzie reached his first Challenger final ever and jumped from No 931 to 573 in the world, carried by an incredible crowd. Congratulations also to our doubles champions Vijay Sundar Prashanth and Ramkumar Ramanathan. What made this week special happened well beyond the scoreboard. Grand Slam champion Dominic Thiem opened the tournament together with Mona Neubaur, NRW Minister for Economic Affairs. In the One Point Challenge, an amateur beat the pros and took home 5,000 euros. At the Next Gen Performance Day, young talents from eight clubs in the region trained with Dominic, and on Kids Day 80 children shared the court with junior world champion Max Schönhaus. Inspiring kids to love sports is the reason I do this, and seeing their faces this week was worth every effort. On top of that, we raised 60,000 euros for our charity partners. None of this happens without people. A heartfelt thank you to our 60 ball kids and 60 volunteers, to tournament director Rebecca Quebbemann and the whole team, to our host club TC Blau-Gelb Bonn-Beuel, and, on behalf of all our sponsors, to our flagship sponsors SAP, T-Systems International, RSM Ebner Stolz and LGT Private Banking for believing in what we are building here. A special thank you to several key people from my LeanIX times, who jumped in and helped to bring the event to the next level. It was also a special edition for me personally: the first one I ran as the organizer of the Bonn Open, in the very week my journey at SAP LeanIX and SAP came to an end. A better start into this new chapter is hard to imagine. See you next year, Bonn. #BonnOpen #ATPChallenger #Tennis #Bonn #Startup

André Christ hat dies geteiltI'm speaking at the GAME. SET. STACK. event in Bonn on July 27th & 28th - still some spots left and I look forward to welcoming you! The event hosted by T-Systems International is about Cloud, AI, and Sovereignty, and the questions on the agenda are ones I think a lot of us are wrestling with right now: how do you keep real control over your data, how do you actually get AI from pilot into production, and how do cloud and security fit together going forward. If you're a CIO, architect, or IT leader, I think you'll find the conversations worthwhile. The event happens alongside the ATP Challenger tournament Bonn Open - sessions in the morning, tennis and networking in the afternoon, which makes for a nice change of pace. I'll talk about how we're moving SAP LeanIX from a SaaS product we've built over 10+ years toward an AI-native architecture using MCP servers, MCP apps, and AI agents. It's very much a work in progress, so I'm mostly looking forward to comparing notes with others tackling the same thing — including the parts that haven't gone to plan.

André Christ hat dies geteiltAfter more than 14 years, I will hand over my responsibilities at SAP LeanIX tomorrow and leave SAP at the end of July. This has been the professional journey of my lifetime, better than I could ever have asked for. Founding LeanIX to solve a real customer problem, turning it into a category leader, and then becoming part of SAP has been the privilege of my career. Together with an incredible team we created the “Google Maps for IT”, we reinvented ourselves again and again, all the way to becoming an AI-native SaaS. Now we are expanding into the new AI governance category. A big thank you to our customers, for believing in us when we were small and always working with us at eye level. To everyone who has been part of the journey: you shaped LeanIX, and none of it would have happened without your effort, dedication, and trust. I will be forever grateful for this experience we shared. I am leaving the team in the best possible hands. Dominik Rose, who has built LeanIX alongside me for years, takes over as of July 1. Together with the team, there is no one I trust more to carry the story forward. A heartfelt thank you to Christian Klein, for the autonomy to lead LeanIX the way we believed was right, and to Sebastian Steinhaeuser and Muhammad Alam, for encouraging me to keep leading as an entrepreneur within the corporate world. And to everyone at SAP, for welcoming us warmly and giving LeanIX a home worthy of its ambition. The photo says it all. Standing next to Roger Federer and Christian at Sapphire is a full-circle moment, and one of the most amazing farewell gifts I could have asked for. Tennis has been my big passion since I was a kid, and that brings me to what comes next: the Bonn Open, a professional tennis tournament, returns at the end of July. For now, I will focus on running it and inspiring kids to love sports, a balance that has always mattered to me. I will be cheering for SAP and SAP LeanIX from the sidelines. It has been an honor. #Startup

André Christ hat dies geteilt10 years of Founders Foundation gGmbH, which also brought Hinterland of Things alive. What a milestone. It was a real privilege to be part of this edition as a judge for the Top 10 startups of the OUT OF THE BOX.NRW award, and to share our growth story at SAP LeanIX, all the way through to the acquisition by SAP. Hinterland has become one of the most important gathering points in the German startup ecosystem. It brings together hidden champions, corporates, founders, and investors in a way few events manage to do. And we need this more than ever. In the global race for AI and tech leadership, positive reinforcement matters. We need to show what is possible, and to inspire more people to start companies and trust their own path. That belief is essential for the future of Germany and Europe. Huge respect to Dominik Gross and Sebastian Borek for what they built 10 years ago with their teams, backed by the Bertelsmann Stiftung and Brigitte Mohn. Here is to the next decade. Many thanks also to my fellow panelists for the great exchange, Deepa Gautam-Nigge, Solveig Rathenow, Dr. Gesa Miczaika and Dr. Antonia Nörthemann.

André Christ hat dies geteiltTired of walls of text from your AI Copilot such as #Claude? MCP Apps change that. Now also possible from SAP LeanIX! Instead of dumping text into chat, MCP Apps deliver rich, interactive micro-UIs - right inside Claude, right where you're already working. I'm thrilled to show a live demo of MCP Apps for SAP LeanIX: a purpose-built Enterprise Architecture experience that doesn't ask you to go somewhere else. It comes to you. While others in the Enterprise Architecture space are revamping their UX, we're eliminating the question of "where do I go?" entirely. MCP Apps for SAP LeanIX go Generally Available (GA) in the next 4 weeks with the first 3 widgets for Inventory, Fact Sheet and Relation explorer - and they're built on top of seamless OAuth authentication to make it easy for everyone to access Enterprise Architecture data from anywhere. The team keeps raising the bar. Proud of what we've built. 🚀 #EnterpriseArchitecture #AI #MCP #SAPLeanIX

André Christ hat dies geteiltI'm thrilled to share the SAP AI Agent Hub is out, launched at #SAPSapphire today by Christian Klein and Dr. Philipp Herzig. This is the next-generation command center for enterprise-scale AI governance, covering the entire lifecycle of AI Agents and MCP servers, both SAP and non-SAP. It connects several SAP solutions and is built on SAP LeanIX, which is used by 25%+ of the Fortune Global 500 companies today. Customers of the Business AI Platform with Joule Studio can use it to manage the first 500 agents at no additional cost. We have come such a long way since the first version last year, with hundreds of customers already discovering thousands of Agents and MCP servers. I'm incredibly proud of what the team has pulled off and how they collaborated across SAP to create this integrated experience. And show the path of how Enterprise Architecture is evolving to power a state-of-the art AI Governance. Now, watch for yourself!

André Christ gefällt dasAndré Christ gefällt dasSeit 27 Jahren arbeiten Lexware und der SC Freiburg zusammen. Das Trikot von gestern ist dabei erst die vierte Stufe. Angefangen hat es 1999 mit einem Engagement im Nachwuchs. Kein Logo, keine Bühne, kein Trikot. Von da an ist es Stück für Stück gewachsen. Die Füchsle-Camps. Einlaufkinder, die diesen einen Tag nie vergessen. Sanierte Sportplätze in Freiburg. Und außerhalb des SC über 150 Vereine im Breitensport, die wir seit mehr als 30 Jahren begleiten. Zum Schluss ging es dann schnell. 2023 der Ärmel, 2024 die Fußballschule, jetzt die Brust. Was dabei zählt, ist nicht das Tempo der letzten drei Jahre, sondern die 24 davor. Das sagt über eine Partnerschaft mehr aus als jede Zahl in einem Vertrag. Denn das Trikot ist die kleinere Hälfte. Die größere ist, was man gemeinsam möglich macht. Genau da liegt für mich die Verbindung zu unserer Arbeit. In einem Verein übernimmt jemand Verantwortung, damit andere spielen können. Selbstständige machen jeden Tag dasselbe für ihren Betrieb, ihre Leute und ihre Kunden. Unser Job ist es, ihnen den Bürokram abzunehmen, damit für den Rest Zeit bleibt. Es ging nie nur ums Trikot. Aber ein 4:1 zum Auftakt macht es auch nicht schlechter.

André Christ gefällt dasAndré Christ gefällt das7 people asked for exactly what I sell this week. Claude found every one of them. Here's the setup: Every week, people post the same thing in your niche: "can anyone recommend..." "which tool for..." "looking for something that...". They are publicly asking to be sold to and almost nobody answers in time. The guy in the tweet built his mornings around catching these posts, and claims it prints money. I gave the job to Claude. ━━━━━━━ ☑ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗽 → one batch of searches: "can anyone recommend", "which tool", "looking for a tool", plus your niche words, filtered to the last 7 days. ━━━━━━━ ☑ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 → Claude keeps the genuine buyer asks, drops the noise. ~50 results became 7 real ones. ━━━━━━━ ☑ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 → each post, structured: who asked, when, the exact words, and how many people already answered. → that last number is the whole game. A 2-day-old ask with 1 reply is an open door. ━━━━━━━ ☑ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝘆 → Claude drafts an answer to the actual question. Honest comparison, your offer where it fits. They asked. You're answering, not interrupting. ━━━━━━━ My first run, one niche: 7 people asked for sales tools this week. One of them, a founder, wrote "feel free to approach us" IN the post. The skill, ready to install: https://tally.so/r/XxPNYj

André Christ gefällt dasAndré Christ gefällt dasHitting Partner at the Bonn Open I’m very grateful to have been given the opportunity to be hitting partner at the Bonn Open (ATP Challenger 75) this year. Alongside being able to play and practice with several professional tennis players inside the Top 250 in the world I also got the chance to meet one of my childhood idols and former Nr. 3 in the world and US-Open Champion Dominic Thiem. Getting to meet and talk to him is a dream come true and an experience I will never forget! Another highlight was being able to participate in the One-Point Challenge together with Dominic Thiem and many other pros, while playing on Centre court in front of a sold out stadium. I would like to give a very special thanks to André Christ for this opportunity and creating such an incredible tournament. I enjoyed every second of it and can’t wait to be back next year!

André Christ gefällt dasAndré Christ gefällt dasDie letzten Wochen bei DRYLL hatten es in sich. Unser LEH-Start ist richtig gut angelaufen – und macht Lust auf mehr. Das ist erst der Anfang. Dazu kamen einige Events. 99Laps – ein Rennen, bei dem alle 15 Minuten 1.2km gerannt und der Letzte eliminiert wird, bis nur noch eine Person übrig ist. Wir waren Mitveranstalter, und zum ersten Mal stand dort unsere DRYLLbar – und sie hat fantastisch funktioniert. Unser erstes ATP-Tennisturnier als offizieller Hydration Partner: die Bonn Open . Auch das ein Meilenstein für uns. Und das ist noch längst nicht alles – da geht noch einiges weiter bis zum Jahresende. Weiter geht’s:)

🎧 What does it really take to build a career that lasts more than a decade at the highest level and what do you sacrifice along the way? In the latest episode of the Sports Journey Podcast, I speak with Alexander Grünwald, former captain of FK Austria Wien, one of the most loyal players in Austrian football, and today active talent development. From leaving his home at just 13 to pursue his dream, to navigating injuries, setbacks, and constant pressure, his journey shows that success in football is not just about talent, but about the decisions you make when things do not go as planned. We talk about: ◼️ what it really means to leave everything behind at 13 to chase a dream ◼️ the mental battles during injuries, setbacks, and phases of doubt ◼️ loyalty vs. missed opportunities and why he never made the move abroad ◼️ the transition from player to sporting director and the pressure behind decisions ◼️ the reality of professional football beyond the pitch, from financial decisions to life after the game 👇 The full episode is available via the link in the comments below.
