I know that putting the cart before the horse is always less than ideal. I am also aware that the chicken-egg debate has yet to be resolved. But there’s definitely no question about where the priority should be in the case of technology and business. Both HPE and SAP fully understand that business outcomes and business transformation goals drive IT Transformation not the other way around. So when you come to SAPPHIRE and ASUG in Orlando, Florida from May 17 – 19, expect the conversation to center around your business and its goals first and foremost.
Looking for something?
We know that what your business is looking for and needs to drive growth and success are “Real-time” insights. We also know that as a SAP customer, you can fast path your journey to ‘Real-time’ insights by adopting SAP’s ‘Digital Core’ vision and S/4HANA (ERP) platform.
