SAP CIO topics include some of the most important issues facing SAP customers right now. As companies transform, the position of CIO has become central to that change. CIOs manage the software and infrastructure that enables companies to develop new business models, stay competitive with digital native organizations, and become more resilient against disruption.
As part of our SAP CIO content, we conduct executive-focused research in areas such as CIO priorities, change management, platform innovation, and transformation. Speaking with CIOs about these endeavors, as we do through our Technology Executive Forum, can offer guidance on the most important challenges SAPinsiders are facing, and the technology they are using to address those challenges.
