Timo Elliott from SAP will present Data: A Platform For Your Future!
The business models of the future will be based on the data and insights that can only come from a deep understanding of your business, in context. Illustrated with concrete examples, this session will look at how to maximize the value of your existing data and use it to unleash more agile business transformation. A platform approach can let business people do more analytics and innovation themselves, in their areas of expertise, without IT bottlenecks, within a governed environment. And we can extend analysis, planning, and action in every area of the organization to create the intelligent, sustainable enterprises of the future.
