The award will be presented at the 2014 SAPPHIRE NOW® + ASUG ANNUAL CONFERENCE held in Orlando, FL on June 3-5, 2014.
The ASUG Infinity Award celebrates outstanding contributions by ASUG Affiliate and Installation Members who have led demonstrated innovative use of SAP solutions and active engagement within the ASUG community.
"Hitachi Consulting is exceptionally honored to receive the 2014 Americas' SAP Users' Group (ASUG) Infinity Award," said Mike Driessen, Senior Vice President, SAP Solutions, Hitachi Consulting. "This award shines a light on the exemplary work being done around the ASUG community by the Hitachi Consulting team, which has been an excellent way to engage and support the SAP user community."
"Hitachi Consulting is an exemplary ASUG Affiliate member," said Geoffrey Scott, CEO of ASUG. "The company was selected not only for its outstanding contributions to help customers adopt SAP HANA but also for its active engagement within the ASUG community at the national, Special Interest Group (SIG) and regional chapter levels."
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 the fact that we have clients and partners that will enthusiastically share the details of their SAP HANA experiences," said Eric Yuan, Vice President, SAP Solutions, Hitachi Consulting. "We strive to create relationships that last based on valuable solutions and tangible results. It's exciting and validating to receive such a prominent award and to present alongside our clients at the events."
Hitachi Consulting's success is rooted in its "Live in Five" proof of concept methodology, a five week rapid-deployment approach that helps provide companies with insight into key business drivers as they begin their HANA journey. With an average timeline measured in weeks instead of months, Hitachi Consulting teams help clients determine how HANA fits into their specific company while simultaneously mitigating risk and minimizing expense.
At the events, Hitachi Consulting will team up with clients to present real-life case studies of SAP HANA in action. Three sessions will convey different perspectives of successful programs:
