SAP Executive Seminar

Nearly all SAP education is geared toward users and implementation project members. Executive information about SAP is largely limited to the brochures and data offered by SAP during the pre-sales phase.

To address this, we provide an SAP Executive Seminar for firms either contemplating an SAP endeavor or already down that path.

Attendees gain a clear business perspective of SAP in terms of its alluring features, attainable benefits, hidden costs, and potential pitfalls.

The executive seminar is a combination of PowerPoint-aided lecture, open workshop, and (optionally) SAP readiness and costing exercises. Attendees receive a full color handout supporting the lectures as well as all exercise material.
 
This seminar informs executives and arms them with the knowledge of what SAP can do for their enterprise, how it should be implemented, how to avoid common pitfalls, and how to seize the considerable benefits of SAP-enabled workflow.
