Integrating Technology As Part of SAP Strategy to Achieve Seamless Business Process and Data Management at
Kellogg’s
Faced with a global reimplementation of SAP spanning business users, technology specialists to partners, Kellogg’s
were looking for a solution to improve visibility across the whole business. In this session we will hear how the US
breakfast cereal manufacturer uses IntelliCorp’s LiveModel technology to enable effective business communication.
Understand how technology is used to reduce business risk and to ensure quality assurance. Hear firsthand how
Kellogg’s use LiveModel to improve integration between people, processes and technology.

Simplify the SAP User Experience with Zero Custom Code
User experience (UX) is a hot topic these days with SAP customers. As competitors continue to gain ground by
offering web-based ERP packages with elegant user interfaces, SAP has begun to focus heavily on UX. In this session,
Phil Best from Clear Software will discuss the business drivers behind UX projects and introduce the SAP-certified
ClearUI solution from Clear Software, which is a simple UX alternative to Personas and Fiori. Connie Donely from
BCBS of Minnesota will then demonstrate how ClearUI made their users 400% more productive and reduced training
costs by 75% with zero custom code. Lastly, Jon Gilman from Clear Software will compare the solution to SAP Fiori
and SAP Personas and answer general questions about UX.

but you can parallel process the jobs based on different criteria. All of the new functionality will be explored in detail
