SAPPHIRE NOW 2016 is just around corner and I can tell you being 18 year veteran attending this event it is truly the most exciting time of year in the the professional calendar for me. Over the course of the last 2 decades I've seen an amazing evolution of customer's needs and innovations to run their business and finance organization better. This year more than ever our customers are going through a revolution that brings together a perfect storm of mega trends. These trends include the explosion of big data, a shift to the millennial work-style and digitalization, all of which are setting the foundation of thousands of finance transformation projects.
This year there will be an abundance of well known customers presenting on how they are ahead of the curve and increased their finance organization's influence across the enterprise by capitalizing on these mega trends. You will hear and see how SAP S/4HANA Finance provided innovations that helped these customers on their path to becoming a digital finance enterprise.
Just 2 short years ago at SAPPPHIRE NOW 2014 we unveiled SAP S/4HANA Finance (under its formerly known name Simple Finance) letting the world know what the possibilities can be with SAP and the latest technology innovations. Then last year at SAPPHIRE NOW 2015 we highlighted the early adopters of SAP S/4HANA Finance.
This year at SAPPHIRE NOW 2016 we are coming full circle by showing the maturity and widespread usage of these solutions across some of the most well known companies all over the world. Additionally these customers stories address the entire spectrum of the finance organization including planning, forecasting, analysis, accounting, closing, treasury, cash management, operations, travel management, governance, compliance disclosure and reporting.
