SAP HANA and the Potential Impact for Your Business Intelligence Strategy
Right now many are asking questions about the benefits SAP HANA In-Memory Technology can bring to their companies. Is it worth investing in the new technology? Is now the right time to commit to the SAP In-Memory technology? At next week’s SAPPHIRE NOW conference in Orlando, I will dive into how SAP HANA appliance software is changing business intelligence and how IT decision makers can change SAP BusinessObjects software to work with SAP HANA.

Using SAP BusinessObjects Software to Expand Information Access
Without complete visibility into financial and operational performance, a company doesn’t stand a chance. It’s impossible to determine product line or customer profitability, hindering sound tactical and strategic decision making. I will address these and other challenges during a micro-forum discussion at next week’s SAPPHIRE NOW conference in Orlando.
Attendees will hear about the success of Angelica Corporation, a leader in the healthcare linen and medical laundry service industry for more than 100 years. I will highlight how Angelica has leveraged the capabilities of SAP BusinessObjects software to enable its executives to gain better insight into key performance indicators and more easily share information organization-wide. Attendees also will hear how the company has achieved operational benefits from SAP BusinessObjects solutions for running its plants, reviewing future acquisitions and empowering its workforce.
