Analytics Symposium 05/04/22 | SAP User Group Event

THIS EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE VOX, BIRMINGHAM

Your Analytics Symposium provides you with a great opportunity to network and collaborate with peers on topics such as SAP Analytics Cloud, Data Preparation, including Platform & Database and Digital Transformation.

This is designed to provide an invaluable event for those involved in Analytics, as well as users of SAP BusinessObjects software.

Trevor Cowan from Howden Joinery will present Why Howdens turned to Machine Learning to deliver production optimisation and improve customer satisfaction.

Data and Analytics are an integral part of how Howdens address their customer needs. In the spirit of constant improvement, Howdens are now leveraging Machine Learning in a bid to deliver higher levels of customer service and optimise their manufacturing operations. Howdens collaborated with NTT DATA Business Solutions on this exciting initiative. The results have been extraordinary.

Timo Elliott from SAP will present Data: A Platform For Your Future!

The business models of the future will be based on the data and insights that can only come from a deep understanding of your business, in context. Illustrated with concrete examples, this session will look at how to maximize the value of your existing data and use it to unleash more agile business transformation. A platform approach can let business people do more analytics and innovation themselves, in their areas of expertise, without IT bottlenecks, within a governed environment. And we can extend analysis, planning, and action in every area of the organization to create the intelligent, sustainable enterprises of the future.

Chris Hodgetts from Sanctuary Housing will present From Pandemic to Mesh.
