Get ready: SAP SAPPHIRE NOW and ASUG (America’s SAP Users’ Group) Annual Conference comes to Orlando on May 5–7.
This is SAP’s premier annual event: an estimated 25,000 people will attend and an additional 80,000 will tune in online. Per usual, the agenda is packed with keynotes, presentations, technical sessions, and demos. It’s a chance for SAP customers to meet with SAP experts and industry partners to learn the latest about mobile, on-demand, and in-memory computing.
Intel will be there too, adding to the festivities by hosting sessions, tech talks and demos—and sharing some innovations of its own.
I encourage you to join these technical sessions presented by Intel experts.
- Microforum Discussion: Co-Innovation on the SAP HANA Platform with Intel and SAP (Noon-12:45 p.m., Tues, May 5, room: LB227). New transaction functionality will be at the performance forefront with the latest Intel®®. Learn how SAP HANA* uses new Intel® technologies to enhance performance for increased scalability, security, performance, and lower cost of ownership.
- Co-Innovation for the Data-Driven World (11am-Noon, Tues., May 5, Lenovo Booth #254). Come meet me in the Lenovo booth! I’ll discuss how Lenovo and Intel have worked together to create a high performance platform optimized for SAP solutions that helps get the most out of data for better business decisions.
Intel experts will also give presentations in partner booths as part of our Intel Partner Passport program. Pick up your passport and make the rounds of our partners’ booths to learn how Intel helped co-engineer the latest platforms based on the Intel Xeon processor E7 family to help gain top performance, scalability and security for a range of partner solutions. Present your completed passport with scans from each of partners to win a rechargeable Beam Flashlight Power Bank* and to be entered into a daily drawing for a new Lenovo* tablet (must be present to win).
