Hasso Prof. Dr. h. c. Hasso Plattner is Co-Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO and Co-Founder, SAP AG.
In 1972, Hasso Plattner and four of his colleagues left IBM in Mannheim, Germany, to found SAP (Systems, Applications, Products in Data Processing). Based in Walldorf, Germany, SAP AG is today the leading provider of inter-enterprise software solutions integrating processes within and among enterprises and business communities. Plattner was responsible for financial applications development for the SAP R/2 system, one of the first standard application packages on the market. In 1979, he assumed overall responsibility for technology. In 1988, Plattner was the driving force behind SAP's successful move into the client/server arena.
Today, Hasso Plattner has overall responsibility for the product and technology strategy of SAP as well as marketing and corporate communications.
When SAP went public in 1988, Plattner was nominated to the position of Vice Chairman of the Executive Board. Plattner retains a clear leading presence both in Germany and America, dividing his time equally between his Palo Alto and Walldorf offices.

As tough times continue, cost control remains important, but visionary CEOs are proving that having accurate data, faster than the competition delivers robust performance against the odds - and can mean the difference between survival and extinction. Significant business change is needed to build what has been described as the Real-Time Enterprise - achieving instant-access to essential business metrics and accelerating management decision-making. CIOs must act decisively and invest wisely to build an IS architecture to support these goals and deliver real value from IT. Join us for this provocative keynote in which Gartner analysts explore the business drivers behind this acceleration and reveal the critical technologies and essential strategies underpinning the Real-Time Enterprise.

Business trends show a third year of unrelenting cost pressures. IT budgets are flat. But executive management expects the business to pursue faster innovation, better risk management and more secure systems - while significantly reducing cost of service. Delivering bottom-line results in a tough economy with aggressive management expectations is now the norm for CIOs. Everybody wants more for less.
Join Gartner analysts, our CIO guests and an economist for a practical discussion on how to deal with the recession head-on, leaving you with the critical insight you can immediately apply to cut prudently and spend wisely. CIO panelists will share how they are dealing with the demands of the downturn and outline the steps they are taking right now to prepare for the upswing. And, our guest economist will provide the latest economic outlook and advise how this will impact IT spending. This is an important hour you can't afford to miss.
