The largest SAP customer-run conference in SA, Saphila 2012, is taking place in Sun City at the end of October and promises an insightful and interactive experience for attendees, according to SAP.
Content at Saphila 2012, hosted by SAP and the African SAP User Group, will focus on five key areas - cloud, mobile, applications, technology database and analytics.
The hosts say with over 100 sessions spanning two days, everything from business intelligence and cloud to big data and analytics will be covered. At this year's conference, over 66 white papers will be presented by local and international customers and partners, showcasing SAP technology that is working successfully in Africa and across the globe, they add.
The theme for 2012 is: "The Moment is Now" and will focus on customer-driven education in order to facilitate knowledge sharing and foster an environment of innovation. The upcoming conference has an African focus - showcasing the business potential and entrepreneurial spirit of the continent.
According to SAP, the conference offers "a unique platform for attendees to see their business from all angles providing invaluable knowledge sharing and networking opportunities for SAP customers, partners, business team members and industry experts".
For the first time, the Saphila conference will also feature training courses on SAP's in-memory database technology, HANA. This technology has the ability to analyse big data 100 000 times faster than traditional databases, giving companies the power to rapidly react to change, the software company notes. The courses will feature e-learning, manuals and certification and will be facilitated by industry experts.
The number of attendees at the biennial Saphila event has grown significantly since 2007 and this year SAP is expecting 1 300 delegates. For more information on how to sign up for Saphila 2012, click here.
