One of the biggest factors that contributes to the success of the business is its ability to network. This can cover facets such as:

• Networking with customers, vendors, partners and other stakeholders in the business ecosystem.
• Belonging to industrial level associations and professional organizations.
• A better capacity to learn about the latest developments in industry and hardness it for its own use.
• Building better brand image and reputation in a global marketplace.

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that participating in the activities and events of a forum can be applied even when it comes to software realm. For instance, if an organization has deployed SAP software in areas such as the following, it does make complete sense to be a part of the SAP Forum also:

-· - Sales and distribution,

-· - Customer relationship management,

-· - Resource planning and

-· - Financials and control mechanisms.

This forum gives business organizations and its members an opportunity to do many things. But perhaps the biggest is to empower them with an ability to chalk out their strategies today so that the business organizations do even better tomorrow.

Innovation in areas such as technology has led to the growth and adoption of nascent technologies such as the following:

• Cloud computing,
• Mobile networking,
• Social media marketing and
• So many others that are set to change the way the world functions.

At a SAP Forum, a business organization can get to experience this kind of future and not only discover how these technologies work but also discover how it can harness them.

Where networking is concerned, a SAP Forum is probably one of the most successful events today. Countries all over the world have their own SAP Forum and this is useful for business organizations to enjoy benefits such as:

• Access to the global network and collection of organizations,
• Be a part of panel discussions which can put the best of industry in one room,
• Listen to expert opinions and even customer experiences,
• Getting to know more and more about technology innovations.

When attending a SAP Forum, a business organization will get the opportunity to go through issues, problems, solutions and discussions on important areas connected with SAP.

These areas can encompass:

• General SAP understanding,
• Materials management,
• Sales and distribution,
• Production and product life-cycle management,
• Infrastructure or plant maintenance,
• Financials and controlling mechanisms,
• Warehousing
• Human resources and so on

A SAP Forum will also give the member an opportunity to keep abreast of all the latest releases that SAP AG; the firm behind this enterprise software; will be coming up with. For instance, the business world is talking about the latest product from the company, known as SAP HANA. This product deals with in-memory platform and delivers real-time information.

At the recently concluded SAP Forum and SAP User Group Conference in UAE, participating members and the business world at large got a reinforcement of why SAP is a leader when it comes to enterprise software. Thus, networking with the help of SAP Forum puts a business organization; very firmly; on the global map.
