Digitization - No Plug-and-Play

Digitization has arrived on a broad front in companies and is being handled and implemented differently depending on the industry. This means that companies and SAP users are facing far-reaching upheavals.

The fact is that digital transformation does not simply happen with the introduction of a new product. Rather, from the idea to the practical use of an SAP solution, various development stages have to be gone through or, in some cases, completely new paths have to be taken.

This is a project that must involve all areas of the company as well as external partners. And that doesn't work so simply by means of plug-and-play.

This is what the motto of the annual congress of the German-speaking SAP user group - "Business transformation from the power socket?" - expresses this.

At the 2016 annual congress, the focus will be on the tasks, opportunities and risks facing users.

"The alignment of companies or individual company branches towards digital transformation requires a holistic approach. All the more so as the requirements are constantly increasing in speed and agility."

sums up DSAG Chairman of the Board Marco Lenck.

"It's about much more than just providing software. It is an organizational task for the entire company. We want to tackle this together with our members and SAP."

This year, more than 4000 participants are expected. A trade exhibition with 175 partners accompanies the three-day congress.
