Join the decision revolution: Driving success with analytics solutions from SAP

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.
