SAP Leadership Center Helps CFOs Drive Enterprise Transformation

WALLDORF, Germany, Aug. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced the launch of its "CFO Leadership Center" microsite. Located at SAPCFO.com, the microsite will serve as a one-stop information source for finance officers, providing cutting-edge material to help CFOs compare and benchmark their performance in key areas that span performance management, financial close, risk and compliance, shared services, treasury and accounts payable, and receivables functions.

A large focus of the microsite centers on how CFOs can transform in their roles to meet the needs of the ever-changing environmental and economic climate. As part of this effort, SAP teamed with CFO Research Services to develop a research paper, "The Superstar CFO: After the Crisis," which will be featured on the site. The report is an interview-based study that explores the evolving role of the CFO in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. The study is a follow-up to the 2007 report by SAP and CFO Research Services, "The Superstar CFO," which recorded the attributes of successful CFOs based on surveys conducted with senior finance executives worldwide.

SAP will focus on "The Superstar CFO: After the Crisis" in a webinar taking place today at 2:00 p.m. EDT on CFO.com. The webinar will feature David Owens, associate director of Research for CFO Research Services, who conducted the study, and will be free for all participants (register here).

"CFOs today face unique challenges as the global economy resets itself, and it's hard to know what advice to trust," said Owens. "I believe this is an informative research paper that will be a valuable addition to SAP's microsite."
