The Content:
For today's most successful corporations enterprise information systems (EIS) have become an integral part of their operations and strategy. It is fair to say, that the EIS is as essential to the modern enterprise as the nerve system is to the human body. Moreover its strategic role is further gaining weight as innovation and supply landscapes are becoming more flexible just as they are becoming more geographically distributed. This environment poses a number of cutting-edge questions to today's CEOs:
- How can I go about aligning my corporate strategy with my strategy for enterprise information systems?
- How can enterprise information systems further sharpen my competitive edge?
- What are best practices in calculating the ROI of a specific information technology investment?
This highly interactive workshop will reflect on these questions, based on real-world experience and first-hand expertise.
SAP is currently looking for employees and interns with an international management background for several European offices.
