What are we looking for?

The SAPHILA Conference will have, broadly, two streams of content:

·          A Business Value Oriented Stream: targeted at business management and line-of-business people who are interested in value that applications can bring to the different industries and disciplines.

·          A Technology Oriented Stream: targeted at technologists and architects who have to deliver on the business needs, devise and govern appropriate architectures and implement the technologies required.

We are looking for practical, educational and informative presentations from within the African SAP eco-system based on your experiences with SAP solutions. As a potential speaker, we would like you to focus on how your message adds to the ‘take home’ value of delegates.
