4 From Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to Enterprise Resource Balancing (ERB) Dear Madame, dear Sir, In this edition of our roundtable in Frankfurt, we will be discussing how to use speed and richness of Big Data to improve business decisions. In our last roundtable, participants shared painful omissions in today s ERP: How to react fast when markets are changing? How to recognize fast enough that and how markets are changing? We live in a world where there is no scarcity in options, but a lack of certainty in execution for plans carefully made. Beyond the planning of resources, we may embrace the art of balancing resources in order to react to customer and market needs fast. This raises the question of the instruments to make it happen. Will data crawlers and learning algorithms provide better insights? We invite you to discuss these questions and more with your finance executive contemporaries: What are the current approaches to optimize operational and financial excellence? How do new technologies, such as advanced statistics, support CFO s in this exercise? Will this shift impact traditional processes, such as planning and forecasting? How can finance teams benefit from the Millennial generation to embrace this transition? Hear what our speakers share from firsthand experience, and discuss their reasons, thoughts and motivation. We will be delighted to have you join us and we look forward to meeting you in Frankfurt. Hans-Dieter Scheuermann Chairman European Finance Innovation Roundtable SAP Senior Expert and Board Advisor Former SVP, SAP Executive Network for Finance Ralph Treitz Founder & COO Trufa
