SAPience2009 preview

We are heading to SAPience2009 next week...we will be showing how easy it is to have SAP running in our cloud.
It takes 30 minutes to show how to start from scratch and have a new SAP system in a separate cloud in those 30 minutes fully functional production environment.

I am truly excited as you can see :) we have been talking about having SAP in a cloud and SAP has been slamming the cloud as a option. But we say YES, put your non-mission critical SAP solutions in the cloud.

The Open and Independent Conference for SAP Users
For the first time in the US, SAP users, analysts, vendors, and key figureheads who helped to create the ERP market will gather to present and discuss ways to reduce SAP-related costs and find new ways to transition into a new era.


Sapience2009 will take SAP users on a “journey to independence.” Our goal is to foster an atmosphere where users understand how to leverage market alternatives and how to avoid the negative side effects of the one-stop-shopping paradigm.

This conference is unique in several ways:

* it provides an independent perspective that embraces virtually all possibilities outside the original vendor’s scope
* it lets the original authorities who coined this market voice their critical views
* it gets innovative users to explain their novel ideas
* it allows attendees to kick the tires of real alternatives.


Sapience2009 focuses on what has become a buyers’ market. Are you taking advantage of this change? Here’s a chance to speed up this process.

* Thought provoking sessions
* Open discussions
* Debates on the pros and cons of different strategies
