Event Information
Come Hear Georgia-Pacific, Corning, Mohawk, Kohler, Moen, South Shore @SAPPHIRE – register now!
SAP’s marquee customer event – SAPPHIRE – is back in person! In Orlando – May 10-12.
If you are thinking about how digital technology can help you be:
- More profitable
- More sustainable
- More agile and resilient in these turbulent times
Then you probably should be considering coming to SAPPHIRE – either in person or virtually
Though SAPPHIRE is good for any industry – this blog is specific to the Mill Products or Mining industries – including metals, building materials, paper, packaging cement, furniture and textiles.
Perhaps there are some big business issues keeping you up at night:
- How can you protect revenue, profits, or markets from business disruption from environmental, social, geopolitical, or other factors?
- How can you stop losing orders to the competition because you cant provide timely quotes – or profitably manufacture and deliver products exactly when customers want them, with the expected quality?
- How can you do better at delivering products on time, as expected – at a profit – always?
Tackling these challenges requires more than doing what’s always been done; instead, it requires companies to deliver profitable growth without overtaxing the environment by running collaborative supply chains, optimizing manufacturing, and offering best-in-class customer experiences.
Come and see us at SAP Sapphire in Orlando May 10-12 to learn more about how industry leaders capitalize on latest technology innovations and transform their businesses. Discuss with your industry peers, SAP experts and partners from the SAP ecosystem latest Digital Industry Strategy for Paper/Packaging, Metals, Mining and Building Materials and how to make intelligent business a reality.
See here a list of the Mill and Mining companies speaking at sapphire and below more details.
