SAP Conference for

Enterprise Performance

Management (EPM) 2014

In cooperation with:



Empowering the Business to Make Better-Informed Decisions

Last year was our inaugural SAP Conference for Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) event in Dallas, Texas. The event was

a tremendous success, bringing together SAP customers, prospects, partners, and subject-matter experts in an intimate forum

focused on technology’s impact on the value-adding finance function. This year we’re taking a closer look at how technologyinnovations are helping shape the finance function of the future and how finance teams can empower lines of business to make

better-informed decisions.

One thing we heard loud and clear at last year’s event was how much the audience appreciated hearing firsthand from SAP

customers about their best practice approaches in implementing SAP® solutions for EPM, as well as the benefits gained from their

use. As you will see in this year’s agenda, we have even more customer-driven sessions from leading organizations such as

Lexmark, T-Mobile, Mars Wrigley, Pacific Gas & Electric, Owens Corning, and Dolby.

And not only will we have an agenda jam-packed with customer speakers, but also we’ll have special guests on hand such as SAP’s

own Joel Bernstein, CFO, Global Customer Operations, and industry thought leader Gary Cokins. Joel will be participating in the

keynote on Day One, highlighting how SAP is using its own technology to help power the finance function and better support the

business. Gary will articulate best practices in making EPM work during one of the workshops and discuss analytics’ impact on

decision making in the keynote on Day Two.

From a technology perspective, content will cover how key technology trends such as mobile, Big Data/in-memory computing,

predictive analytics, and the Cloud are impacting the 21st-century finance function. We’ll highlight recent innovations and

announcements such as the SAP Simple Finance solution, the SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 10.1 application, version

for SAP NetWeaver® powered by SAP HANA®, and the SAP EPM Unwired mobile app, as well as give you a glimpse of what the

future holds for our EPM portfolio.

Whether you are a current user of SAP solutions for EPM or are considering using them to improve financial planning and analysis

or the financial close-to-disclose process, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

We look forward to seeing you in Chicago in October!

Sincerely,

David Williams

Senior Director

Workshop 2: Innovations and Best Practices in Enterprise Performance Management: Making It Work

Clear Sailing or Stormy Waters: A Tipping Point for Technology-Driven Transformation in Finance?

Faced with increased volatility in business conditions, organizations are hoping the new technologies (Big Data

cloud, mobile, and predictive analytics) will live up to the hype and enable them to gain faster insights and to

make better-informed and more timely decisions. Predictive analytics are important because organizations are

shifting from managing by control and reacting to after-the-fact data toward managing with anticipatory

planning so they can be proactive and make adjustments before problems arise. Cloud and mobile solutions

provide new paradigms for serving up, accessing, and managing information and processes. Collectively, this a

represents a transformational tipping point or perhaps – if managed poorly – a perfect storm.

• Review the forces driving the increased use of analytics within holistic enterprise performance management

solutions

• Explore how enterprise performance management together with business analytics can enable finance to

deliver more value – faster

• Identify how new technologies such as Big Data, cloud, mobile, and predictive analytics provide opportunitie

for finance to drive sustainable competitive advantage
