Human Resource (HR) professionals from top performing companies are headed to the SAPInsider HR 2015 Conference being held March 3-6 in Las Vegas this year for one overarching reason: to get the facts they need to move to the cloud and become strategic innovation partners across the organization. That’s because this year’s event provides an unprecedented opportunity for them to learn from peers who have experienced cloud first-hand, rub elbows with hundreds of esteemed thought leaders, and get the lowdown on SAP’s latest technology.

This exciting mix of SuccessFactors and SAP executives, customers and partners is expressly designed to help companies get the most out of their current HR investments, and determine the best way forward to take advantage of the latest innovations. Most important, top performing companies will share their journey to the cloud with detailed case studies, technology demos and practical ideas that HR professionals can use immediately.

In his keynote entitled, “How Moving Your HR to the Cloud is Like the Game “Snakes & Ladders,” Mike Ettling, President of HR Line of Business at SAP/SuccessFactors, will explain why the future of HR is in the cloud, and how companies can make the move – at their own pace and with success. He’ll detail SAP’s solution strategy across cloud and on-premise, spotlighting how companies benefit from SuccessFactors running on SAP HANA, and how SAP is taking the user experience to new levels with SAP Fiori.
