The clock is ticking…

28 days later…

Huge turmoil. Crowds of people maneuvering through wide hallways, craving for food, having avoided daylight for days…

No, I am not describing a scene from a horror movie with the same name. This is how SAP TechEd 2013 in Las Vegas might look like.

In only 28 days from now, SAP TechEd 2013 will kick off in Las Vegas. We are already looking forward to this event. That is, because we have exciting news to share and the latest and greatest product innovations for you to get your hands on.

If Harshavardhan Jegadeesan‘s blog post announcing What´s new in SAP Operational Process Intelligence SP01 has stirred your interest, I would like to point you at some sessions during this year’s SAP TechEd.

Lecture and Hands-On Session Overview

POP101: Intelligent Processes on SAP HANA – Overview and Outlook

Abstract:

With SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management (SAP NetWeaver BPM), SAP has offered a tool that enables customers to build their own business-user-friendly composite processes, extending the SAP Business Suite, or innovating in areas that have been untapped opportunities for process automation. With SAP NetWeaver BPM’s availability on SAP HANA, customers can now leverage synergies to build “intelligent processes”, leveraging the power of SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration and SAP Operational Process Intelligence, to define performance-driven applications with built-in process visibility and integration. This session will provide an introduction to the solution and an explanation of the road ahead.

Expert Networking Session

Use-case and demo of Operational Process Intelligence powered by SAP HANA

Our partner Owen Pettiford will run two expert networking sessions in both Las Vegas and Amsterdam. In his talks he will discuss the use-cases for SAP Operational Process Intelligence powered by HANA. This tool allows business analysts to build observation models on top on SAP Business Suite, SAP Business Workflow, SAP BPM and 3rd party systems.

Track and Subtrack Structure

As a rough guidance: all our sessions will be hosted in the Process Orchestration, Integration, and Portal track (POP), more precisely in the Intelligent Processes and Rules (IPR) subtrack. There are more sessions in the IPR subtrack around SAP NetWeaver BPM and SAP NetWeaver BRM Track.
