SAP will stress "co-innovations" at its upcoming Sapphire '07
international customer conferences, to be held in Atlanta, Georgia,
April 22-25 and in Vienna, Austria, May 14-16. Over the past three
years, attendance at the event has grown from more than 9,000 in 2005
to 15,000 in 2006. This year, SAP will introduce a new model for
ecosystem co-innovation, hoping to transform Sapphire from a vendor
conference to an industry forum that supports companies in
collaboratively addressing IT and business challenges.
Combined, the conferences will feature more than 230 presentations
from best-run businesses and public sector organizations of all sizes
that are empowering their workforces and differentiating their
organizations through innovative business processes designed on
enterprise SOA, the company says. Customers and partners will also gain
first-hand insight into the SAP product road map, including the
near-term plan for delivering the first fully integrated software suite
built on a flexible business process platform.
Nearly
200 demo stations on the conference floors will offer interactive
presentations featuring topics such as creating applications for
enterprise SOA using SAP NetWeaver, defining and documenting services
and business process integration. In addition, the event will feature
30-minute guided tours every hour showcasing SAP NetWeaver in action.
Customers will have the opportunity to explore how SAP's wide range of
solution sets and applications can empower their businesses.
Keynote
presentations will feature Hasso Plattner, co-founder and chairman of
the Supervisory Board, SAP; Henning Kagermann, CEO and chairman of the
Executive Board, SAP; and Léo Apotheker, president CSO and deputy CEO,
SAP.
