From May 11 to May 14, 2009, SAPPHIRE attendees had the opportunity to see that when challenges are at their greatest, so are the opportunities to find new and transformative solutions. This year's SAPPHIRE was an essential event for every professional who wants to harness technology to run lean operations, capture greater market share and gain business openness and transparency.

SAP and ASUG partnered again to present the two most important business and technology events of the year: SAPPHIRE 2009 and the 2009 ASUG ANNUAL CONFERENCE. Both events were held May 11-14, 2009, at the North/South building of the Orange County Convention Center.
