Hi, I’m happy to report that analyst George Lawrie of our team that serves Application Development and Delivery Professionals has been working with a host of analysts from across the company to put together our first-ever SAP Jam on March 22-25!

SAP is one the most important providers of apps to Forrester’s global clients. We field hundreds of inquiries each year about SAP’s plans and direction. More recently we have had inquiries about SAP’s top management changes and about getting the best return on the enterprise’s investment in SAP skills and technology.

George has asked Forrester’s other top SAP watchers to be prepared to explain just what you need to know, so I’d like to invite you to hear all about it in a series of SAP Jam Sessions – George will moderate all the sessions, and also contribute where appropriate. We would love to take your questions and have you participate too. Please put these dates and times in your calendar now, and follow the links to register.
