Transformation Now! 2021

“Transformation is not about technology. It’s about making it work for you.” This isn’t just a catchy tagline; this is what we do at NTT DATA Business Solutions (previously itelligence). Although we are well established as one of SAP’s largest and most successful global partners, we have never been focused on simply regurgitating the latest technology announcements. Instead, we take pride in our reputation as pragmatists who understand that our customers can only truly realise the value of technology when it works for them. You will know this if you have attended any of our events, whether in person or virtual. Real world stories will always be more important than a checklist of features and functions.

With that in mind, I am pleased to be able to share details of our next major event. The UK’s largest Partner run SAP conference returns with a packed virtual agenda addressing the topics you have told us matter to you. Transformation Now 2021 will take place in October, bringing to you multiple presentations, four streams, lively debate and interactive networking on our digital conference platform.

#TransformationNow2021 takes place on Thursday 7th October and kicks off with our keynote session “Transformation through togetherness”. Tune in to hear how we are evolving our services to meet your expectations. I am delighted to announce that I will be hosting a “fireside” chat between Michiel Verhoeven (MD SAP UK&I), Justin Brading (MD NTT Data Business Solutions UK&I) and Ian Mallinson CIO of Warburtons. This will not be a prerecord, it will be live and interactive with questions and comments from the audience.

Our second session of the morning “The Journey to the Intelligent Enterprise” will contextualise SAP’s vision with our experience of making those solutions work for customers across a variety of industries.

After lunch you can choose to attend one of four breakouts:

1. Focus on S/4HANA – Whether you are already running S/4HANA, considering your roadmap or perhaps not yet convinced. This breakout has something for everyone. Expert advice, Customer experiences and the return of our popular focus sessions.
2. Focus on HXM – If the pandemic has taught us anything it is the value and importance of human connection. As the working world adjusts along new lines how can organisations ensure their people are focused, motivated, and well connected. Join this Human Experience Management breakout for expert advice, lively debate, shared customer experiences and the return of our popular focus sessions.
3. Focus on CX – For so many organisations success comes from delighting customers. Whether you are B2B or B2C, customer relationships are paramount. Customers are demanding that these relationships become increasingly digital and frictionless. In this breakout, you will learn how NTT DATA Business Solutions is helping organisations to identify and transform the key interactions that deliver customer delight.
4. Focus on Data & Intelligence – Identifying, harvesting, curating, and sharing business insights has never been higher up the agenda. Every organisation is looking for something that can give them the edge. The ability to see the value in data from a variety of locations both inside and outside an organisation is critical. This breakout will leave you in no doubt as to the benefits that can be gained from taking a strategic approach to Data and Intelligence. Includes real world stories of customer projects, panel debates, and of course perspectives on the latest technology announcements from SAP.

We will finish the day with a topical celebrity keynote speaker designed as always to entertain and challenge. Watch this space for the official announcement.

A word on attending online events. We know that work goes on regardless, so the program includes several breaks. Feel free to dip in and out as you see fit.

This is surely an event not to be missed, register today, and share the outline agenda with your colleagues.
