The stars will be out for SAP Global Partner Summit and SAPPHIRE NOW in Orlando. More than 1,800 partners are expected to attend the events June 4-7. Hundreds of insightful interactive sessions, demos and presentations await, along with celebrity appearances from the likes of Justin Timberlake, Jon Bon Jovi, Lindsey Vonn and more.

But there’s one headliner you won’t want to miss: partner managed cloud (PMC).

Five theater sessions and 30 PMC partners will be on hand to showcase related success stories and value propositions leveraging their intellectual property while expanding with SAP in the cloud.

With partner managed cloud, you can deliver proven fully integrated SAP solution portfolios, such as SAP SuccessFactors or SAP Hybris, seamlessly with your own industry experience and expertise. The licensing approach also allows complete flexibility in packaging, pricing and setting terms for your managed cloud solution.

Among many other advantages: a repeatable revenue stream, greater differentiation through specialization, plus a new route to the SMB market.

Research shows that most companies have already adopted some form of cloud computing. Now is the time to strike in a deeper, more lucrative way. If you want to learn more about the numerous benefits of partner managed cloud, make time to view a PMC session, visit the PMC demo pod at Partner Summit, or visit with a PMC exhibitor at SAPPHIRE NOW.

Build your schedule for the event while keeping the following PMC sessions in mind:
