Overview
2
CRM is in the midst of a dramatic transformation. What started many years ago with first-generation
applications to “automate” sales, service, and marketing functions was then followed by a second
generation of “CRM suites” that provided integrated functionality across the front-office.
But new technologies have emerged rapidly, and digitally empowered customers have changed the rules
of engagement. Many companies are struggling to keep up with all the changes; they try to figure out
how to stay relevant to their customers, how to meet their rising expectations, and how to engage with
them in the moments when it really matters – anywhere, anytime.
Industry analysts and experts agree that innovations in mobile applications, in-memory technology,
predictive analytics, and e-commerce will reshape the direction of CRM. SAP, as a market leader in all
of the above categories, is at the forefront of the evolution from CRM to Customer Engagement. Our vision of the third
generation of CRM is a “Customer Engagement and Commerce Platform” that enables organizations to deliver contextual,
consistent, and relevant experiences at any touchpoint — regardless of channel or device — throughout the customer journey,
in real-time.
I take this opportunity to invite you to join us at CRM 2015, March 30 - April 1 in Las Vegas, to hear more about SAP’s
Customer Engagement & Commerce (CEC) solution portfolio and how successful companies are leveraging SAP® solutions
to better engage with their customers. Come and see SAP’s new mobile applications for sales and service in action;
experience the power of SAP HANA® and how SAP’s predictive analytics redefine sales and marketing. Learn more about
SAP’s innovations in the cloud and how to best leverage and expand your SAP CRM on-premise investments. Explore the
possibilities of the hybris omni-channel commerce platform to digitally transform your business.
Our theme for CRM 2015 is “ENGAGE YOUR CUSTOMERS LIKE NEVER BEFORE”.
Please join us to engage and network with your peers, SAP partners, and SAP experts. Discuss SAP’s strategy and roadmap
for CEC, and learn from best practices and case studies across sales, marketing, service, and commerce. We’ll also be
listening to you, drawing upon your input to align our product roadmap with your business needs.
I look forward to seeing you at this important event in Las Vegas in March.
Sincerely,
Dr. Volker G. Hildebrand
Global Vice President, Customer Engagement Solutions

What started many years ago with first-generation applications to “automate” sales, service, and marketing functions was then followed by a second generation of “CRM suites” that provided integrated functionality across the front-office. But new technologies have emerged rapidly, and digitally empowered customers have changed the rules of engagement. Many companies are struggling to keep up with all the changes; they try to figure out how to stay relevant to their customers, how to meet their rising expectations, and how to engage with them in the moments when it really matters – anywhere, anytime. Industry analysts and experts agree that innovations in mobile applications, in-memory technology, predictive analytics, and e-commerce will reshape the direction of CRM. SAP, as a market leader in all of the above categories, is at the forefront of the evolution from CRM to Customer Engagement. Our vision of the third generation of CRM is a “Customer Engagement and Commerce Platform” that enables organizations to deliver contextual, consistent, and relevant experiences at any touchpoint — regardless of channel or device — throughout the customer journey, in real-time. I take this opportunity to invite you to join us at CRM 2015, March 30 - April 1 in Las Vegas, to hear more about SAP’s Customer Engagement & Commerce (CEC) solution portfolio and how successful companies are leveraging SAP® solutions to better engage with their customers. Come and see SAP’s new mobile applications for sales and service in action; experience the power of SAP HANA® and how SAP’s predictive analytics redefine sales and marketing. Learn more about SAP’s innovations in the cloud and how to best leverage and expand your SAP CRM on-premise investments. Explore the possibilities of the hybris omni-channel commerce platform to digitally transform your business. Our theme for CRM 2015 is “ENGAGE YOUR CUSTOMERS LIKE NEVER BEFORE”. Please join us to engage and network with your peers, SAP partners, and SAP experts. Discuss SAP’s strategy and roadmap for CEC, and learn from best practices and case studies across sales, marketing, service, and commerce. We’ll also be listening to you, drawing upon your input to align our product roadmap with your business needs. I look forward to seeing you at this important event in Las Vegas in March.
