Join the decision revolution: Driving success with analytics solutions from SAP
Tuesday, 16 October, 9.00 – 10.00 • Roselle 4612
Every day, companies face critical decisions impacting revenue, market share, margin, and
customer satisfaction. Which products should be launched? How do we most effectively deal
with critical risks? How do we enable our mobile workforce and customer base? As they work
to answer these questions, workers are drowning in data – lacking the information they need to
run more intelligently.
More than ever before, SAP is focused on changing how customers can make well-informed
decisions. Join Kurt J. Bilafer as he showcases SAP’s Decision Revolution. Learn how customers
have improved decision making, increased performance, and optimized the finance process using
today’s analytics solutions from SAP. See how SAP’s real-time, mobile and cloud innovations
will lead to the next generation of analytics solutions…sooner than you think.
