#86: SAPphire 2017 - With full Michael Dell Keynote Comments

Dell Technologies and SAP have a history of building innovative, best-in-class technologies that support customers' growing businesses.  The digital economy offers incredible opportunities for businesses, but it also brings formidable challenges. IT departments struggle to derive fresh insights from complex, isolated systems. SAP and Dell Technologies together address those concerns by replacing and transforming complex systems to help re-imagine business processes and deliver real-time insights from data that’s always fresh.

Sharing a tightly aligned cloud vision, Dell EMC and SAP share a joint go-to-market approach; SAPphire 2017 was the perfect opportunity to showcase Digital Transformation and our multi decade partnership.

I was able to catchup with Jim Franklin (@Jim_Franklin) during the Dell EMC / Virtustream customer appreciation event in Orlando.  We talked partnership across all Dell Technologies brands, accelerating digital transformation, disruption and a special appearance during the SAPphire 2017 opening keynote.

If you think about the past 9 months, no one understands transformation more than Michael Dell.  He shared some of the insight as a special guest of SAP CEO Bill McDermott during the opening keynote, that audio is included in this episode of #DellEMCTheSource podcast.
