When challenges are at their greatest, so are the opportunities to find new and transformative solutions. That's what makes this year's SAPPHIRE an essential event for every professional who wants to harness technology to run lean operations, capture greater market share and gain business openness and transparency.

SAP and ASUG are again partnering to present the two most important business and technology events of the year: SAPPHIRE 2009 and the 2009 ASUG ANNUAL CONFERENCE. Both events are held May 11-14, 2009, at the Orange County Convention Center.
