Real-Time Technologies Shape the IT Future With On-Demand, Mobile and Analytic Applications

HANOVER, Germany - Together with customers and partners at CeBIT 2011, being held in Hanover, Germany, March 1-5, SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) will present its business software solutions and newest advances in areas such as cloud computing, in-memory computing, mobility and business analytics. The company will present its solutions for small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) in Hall 5, joined by more than 25 partners. Solutions for public administration will be on display in the Public Sector Parc in Hall 9.

Under the banner of "Here and Now," SAP underscores how it is empowering people with anytime, anywhere access to mission-critical processes and information on their mobile devices and delivering real-time technologies to help organizations run better. At the entrance of its main booth (Hall 4, booth D04), SAP will bring to life how customers run better with SAP® software, showcasing business processes running on SAP® Business Suite applications, line-of-business and industry solutions; analyses, strategy and compliance with the SAP® BusinessObjects(TM) portfolio; and the power of its technology platform. A common theme across all topics is in-memory computing - the newest technology for real-time data access and analysis. SAP will showcase applications based on this technology that are already delivering business value to customers. The Hasso-Plattner-Institute will demonstrate how in-memory computing will significantly and sustainably change the way businesses are managed in the future. In addition, exhibits by the SAP Research organization will offer a look into how current research projects may shape the future face of IT.
