Keynote: Supply Chains of the Future Speaker: Chris Haydon, SVP, Solution Management Business Networks, SAP When appraising the supply chain of the future, it’s easy to surmise that the cloud will play a central role in what many are terming “demand-driven business networks.” But how will these new ways of collaborating solve companies’ business challenges of today? SAP customers, in particular, need a plan for evaluating new cloud-based applications, including Ariba and Fieldglass, and developing business cases for the future. In addition, attendees need to understand the technical roadmaps for integrating existing SAP Business Suite investments with any new cloud-based software. Executive Exchange Summit Sessions

CXO Round Table: Demonstrating the Value of Building Business Networks Take an honest look at your partner collaboration and supply chain environment: Where are you leading the pack? Where do you want to improve? Where do you need more buy-in from your business peers and suppliers to create new efficiencies and processes? Do you have a plan to tap cloud-based services to supplement your on-premise B2B connections? Do you know which vendors’ offerings are the best for you? During this round-table discussion, listen in and voice your opinion on these critical topics as you consider your company’s long-term supplier and partner strategies. In-Depth Discussion Topic:

Building the Business Case and Securing Corporate Buy-In Getting corporate buy-in can stall an entire project. How do you address the challenges within your company before making technology investments? What are the key components to the business case that best demonstrates the value of business networks? Understanding the Current State of Partner Networks How do today’s technology organizations approach and manage technology suppliers that want to become more strategic, and how do strategic technology suppliers become a true partner? In addition, what are you most looking for from your strategic IT providers as you consider your future supply chain networks? Engaging Strategic and Transactional Solution Partners Immediately following the session about understanding the current state of partner networks, this facilitated dialog will be a deeper dive discussion about engaging with strategic versus transactional solution providers in the ecosystem. What factors should be considered when determining the best solution provider to fit your business objectives? Closed Door Sessions:
