EPM Leadership Summit 2017 Lights Up Las Vegas

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Friday, February 24 marked the last day of the 7th annual EPM Leadership Summit hosted by Column5 Consulting in Las Vegas.  This annual event was attended by more than 100 SAP Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) professionals, including SAP leadership, from around the world.

Tuesday, the first day of the event, consisted of full day hands-on workshops for EPM Add-in Reporting, Analysis for Office, BPC Logic, Performance Tuning, and EPM Value Mapping. These sessions allowed attendees to dive deep into one particular area of interest guided by exercises with Column5 instructors. Among the most well attended breakout sessions for the remainder of the week were the customer case studies (presented by eBay, New Balance Athletics, Flex, Varian Medical Systems, and others). "Attendees consistently tell me that the case study sessions are so helpful because they demonstrate practical application of the software where they can learn from the challenges and successes that other organizations have experienced during their implementation or upgrade," stated Jami Giovannini, Column5's Global Director of Marketing. Other popular sessions included product focused how-to demonstrations as well as advanced tips and tricks designed to help attendees unlock hidden value from their EPM solutions. David Den Boer, Founder and CEO of Column5 remarked, "SAP EPM customers sometimes feel a resource to help them navigate the rocky waters of transformation would be a big help. As the largest SAP EPM focused user conference in the world, we take great pride in providing an intensive week of knowledge sharing and networking for every organization in attendance. The feedback I received is that the event exceeded all expectations for attendees."

For attendees, the learning does not end with the conclusion of last week.  As part of a ticket to the EPM Leadership Summit, all attendees receive a years' worth of access to EPM Summit Online which hosts quarterly virtual conferences in addition to the 110 hours of existing premium SAP EPM sessions available on-demand.
