How SAP and Twenty5 Are Advancing A&D Bid Accuracy and Closing the Gap Between Sales and Delivery
EP 11 | The Twenty5 and SAP partnership was built around a simple but powerful idea that pricing and estimating in aerospace and defense shouldn't live in spreadsheets and disconnected systems. It should live in one place, connected to real data, and built to get smarter over time.In this episode, Twenty5’s CEO, Magnus Bjorendahl, sits down with Dave Blatner and John Mikos, two of SAP's leading aerospace and defense industry advisors, to talk about what that partnership actually delivers for A&D companies. From creating a single source of truth across engineering, supply chain, and finance, to bridging the gap between winning a bid and delivering it profitably, to laying the right foundation for AI to actually work, this is a conversation about what one plus one equalling three looks like in practice.If you work in pricing, estimating, program management, or anywhere in the defense industrial base, this one is worth your time.
