SAP is one of the world&rsquo;s leading producers of software for the management of business processes, developing solutions that facilitate effective data processing and information flow across organizations.
Founded in 1972, the company was initially called System Analysis Program Development (Systemanalyse Programmentwicklung), later abbreviated to SAP. Since then, it has grown from a small, five-person endeavor to a multinational enterprise headquartered in Walldorf, Germany, with more than 105,000 employees worldwide. With the introduction of its original SAP R/2 and SAP R/3 software, SAP established the global standard for enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Now, SAP S/4HANA takes ERP to the next level by using the power of in-memory computing to process vast amounts of data, and to support advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. The company&rsquo;s integrated applications connect all parts of a business into an intelligent suite on a fully digital platform, thereby replacing the process-driven, legacy platform. Today, SAP has more than 230 million cloud users, more than 100 solutions covering all business functions, and the largest cloud portfolio of any provider. Christian Klein leads the company, heads up the Executive Board of SAP SE, and, at 41, is the youngest CEO of any major enterprise on Germany&rsquo;s DAX blue chip market index.

UiPath has a vision to deliver the Fully Automated Enterprise&trade;, one where companies use automation to unlock their greatest potential. UiPath offers an end-to-end platform for automation, combining the leading Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solution with a full suite of capabilities that enable every organization to rapidly scale digital business operations.

&ldquo;Work is what you do, not where you go&rdquo;, says Cisco&rsquo;s Aruna Ravichandran. As organizations adjust to the new hybrid work environment, they must reimagine their workspaces, support multiple workstyles, and deliver amazing customer experiences with easily managed, secure environments. With talent now sourced globally, companies must support workers from the factory floor to the caf&eacute; to the office, all while looking for more creative collaboration tools. Join us for this insightful fireside chat where Cisco discusses the goal: choice, flexibility, and transparency.
