SAP

 

 

Today, businesses operate in an environment characterised by volatility and uncertainty, where unpredictability reigns, exerting significant pressure on revenues, profit margins, and supply chains.

 

How can organizations transition from merely "keeping the lights on” to building a competitive edge, despite the economic volatility and global unrest?

 

During our SAP Innovation Day, we will provide insights into how technology can support organisations:

  • Stay ahead of the competition through leveraging technology
  • Drive sustainable business operations and growth
  • Innovate continuously and with speed leveraging embedded AI capabilities
  • Optimize and connect end-to-end processes
  • Gain valuable insights from their data

 

Join us on May 21st at the Marriott Hotel Melrose Arch in Johannesburg and discover how technology can accelerate business growth, leading to superior business outcomes.
