March 6-7 2018
Message from the ProducerThe chemicals industry continues to be at a crossroads. Sustainability and innovation are top of mind for executives thinking about the future.
Organizations must embrace technology to make smart
business decisions and be prepared to manage change
during mergers, acquisitions and divestitures. By focusing on
customer experience and customer engagement, chemicals
organizations can increase their technology footprint and
leverage SAP offerings to have the greatest impact on their
bottom line. Chemicals companies are making strides to
become increasingly tech-savvy and continuing to drive value
from current investments in their technological landscape.
Best Practices for Chemicals brings together industry
professionals faced with similar challenges to share their
stories of success, trials faced, and innovative business
solutions using technology. Months of customer research
from different functional areas including supply chain,
manufacturing, IT, development and leadership, have driven
the content of the conference. The most pressing issues for
industry professionals include: how to leverage analytics,
data and reporting tools, long-term roadmaps for S/HANA,
streamlining supply chain and logistics through digital
technology; and change management.
Business leaders are challenged with delivering profitable
growth while satisfying increasing customer expectations.
Join us at #BP4Chem to boost ROI and grow your business
by learning best practices for digital transformation.
We look forward to seeing you in Austin!
