KloudData @ Sapphire Now 2013

It is finally that time of the year when the Americas SAP User Group Conference (ASUG) starts. Sapphire 2013 is an event not to be missed. It is an apt platform for all SAP partners to getjavascript:; together and share innovations in technologies like Cloud Computing, Analytics and showcase their Enterprise Mobility Apps etc. It is also a time and place which keeps businesses abreast with SAP innovations like in-memory computing and the HANA platform for handling various aspects of Big Data that impacts industries in various ways. Discussions at an event like this helps the decision makers of both large and small enterprises to find out how all this can help them to gain business value.

SAP Sapphire Now has evolved from being a conference to a confluence of business networks where CIOs, CTOs, LOB heads, CEOs, CFOs and other business leaders meet and discuss strategies about upcoming technologies and how it affects various business areas like finance, operations, customer care and overall productivity. The large amounts of content shared is concentrated into a one-day community forum format, which makes it easier for the delegates to assimilate and digest what is new in their areas of interests.
In this event it can be very well expected that the financial area will attract the most attention. We at KloudData too, are also focusing on this as to how adapting HANA with Sybase IQ 16 will impact the applications and analytics used for making financial decisions. KloudData is also the proud Co-host for a Lunch and Learn with Sybase IQ 16 Event that is going to be held at the SAP New York office. More details about this can be found on my previous blog post.

The different demonstrations, round table discussions and subject matter experts’ theater presentation sessions, from both SAP and its partners will add immense value for all those who are attending this event. Almost all the participants have definite valuable takeaways in various forms. Tim Clark of SAP too has written in his post dated 9th April 2013, in the SAP News Room on this event as a Test Drive Table. It is to take place in the services campus and all customers with mobile devices there, will be allowed to test drive all these apps without any interruptions.

KloudData will also be participating in Sapphire Now 2013, where experts will demonstrate our Award-Winning Apps and will showcase our competency for implementing and deploying SAP Mobile Solutions. You can meet KloudData’s expert executives for strategic business discussions on adapting Enterprise Mobility, integration of KloudData Apps with HANA and their unique implementation methodology for deploying Syclo Apps like the SAP Work Manager in record time. KloudData’ website currently has a simple form to schedule a meeting with our experts at Sapphire Now 2013.

Lunch and Learn Event with SAP Sybase IQ 16


We at KloudData are busy, preparing in full swing, for co-hosting an exciting new event “Lunch and Learn with Sybase IQ 16“ at SAP’s New York office.  This event is going to be about the latest release of SAP Sybase IQ 16, an integral component of SAP’s Real-Time Data Platform.

I am particularly excited about this as this development is about one of my personal favorite technological frontier’s Big Data. There are going to be great discussions about the route to adapting SAP HANA and we shall be introduced to the Speed and Power of SAP Sybase IQ 16. Let us just get a brief understanding about the background of what this event is all about.

We are all aware that industries today are trying to cope with the massive onslaught of Big Data. As the volume of data has now increased from Terabytes to Petabytes, the current infrastructure and systems are not able to handle this quantity of data especially considering the velocity at which it is being generated. So in order to process the Petabytes, large volumes of data need to be loaded fast and at very high speeds. SAP HANA and Sybase IQ exactly help to do this at rates faster than ever. This makes Big Data available to applications and people quickly, for in-the-moment decision making.

For the more technically inclined, Sybase IQ achieves its power to manage heavy work loads in tandem by having a column-oriented, expandable, grid-based, and massively parallel processing (MPP) architecture along with data compression and indexing technologies. The presentations to be made at this Lunch and Learn event would further throw more light on these and other such aspects as well.

The registration forms to Join Lunch and Learn with SAP Sybase IQ 16 event is live on the KloudData website. I am sure looking forward to meeting more Big Data enthusiasts and business decision makers at this unique event and hope to see you there too.
