2014 SAPPHIRE NOW + ASUG ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Hitachi will bring recent SAP HANA strategy and implementation
insights to the SAPPHIRE NOW + ASUG Annual Conference. The company
will deliver joint presentations with clients that have benefitted
from the firm's approach.
"The honor of winning the 2014 Infinity Award is amplified by

Consulting teams help clients determine how HANA fits into their
