Sapience 2009, an event for CEOs, CIOs, CFOs, and IT Decision makers seeking to escape the limitations of a strongly vendor controlled application landscape

NEW CANAAN, Conn., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Sapience 2009, an independent conference produced by Sapientia GmbH and OnTrack Communications will present viable alternatives to a single-vendor enterprise application suite. The conference explores strategies for moving to a more heterogeneous environment by leveraging existing investments. Featuring best practices from companies who have already started the process, sessions on the legal implications as well as the impact on maintenance contracts, and other key considerations such as augmenting SAP through cloud offerings, the conference is designed for IT executives looking to reduce expenses and their reliance on a SAP as their sole ERP vendor.

These sites represented a 75 million USD per year maintenance stream. Over 50% of the attendees were C-level or their direct reports.
