The perpetual pace of technology innovation is accelerating at a rate never seen before, creating ever-changing market dynamics. Smart devices for the home, business and personal use are driving massive amounts of big data. Technology innovation now allows us to bring together transaction data, conversation data, and machine data to create new and disruptive business models. But big data is not the only challenge facing businesses today. The mobile user experience is now flowing over into the business world and consumers expect real-time data in a user-friendly app.

All of this creates complexity and pressure for organisations. How do you take these challenges and turn them into opportunities? To stay competitive in the market organisations need real-time data in the hands of their employees to create and share insights. They need the ability to confidently anticipate what comes next and guide more profitable, forward-looking decision making. And this needs to be delivered on a secure enterprise platform to ensure that people have access to the right data and that your company’s information is governed and protected.

By attending SAPinsider’s HANA 2015 you have a unique opportunity to learn from peers, partners, and SAP® experts. Understand how you can get the most from your current investments and consider the benefits of new innovations including the flexibility of the cloud, the speed of in-memory computing, bringing data to life with agile visualization, and gaining a competitive advantage with predictive analytics. Join us for SAPinsider’s HANA 2015 and learn how to bring simplicity and insight to your organisation.

Sincerely,

Clemens PraendlSenior Vice President and General Manager Analytics SAP
