Faster. Smarter. Cloud-Powered Growth with IBM+SAP
ABOUT THIS EVENT
The Philippines’ mid-market sector is booming—driven by rapid digital adoption, a surging BPO and manufacturing base, and strong domestic consumption. Yet, only 28% of Filipino enterprises have migrated core ERP systems to the cloud (DTI Digital Readiness Report, 2024), leaving many vulnerable to inefficiencies, compliance gaps, and scalability bottlenecks.
In this context, speed and predictability aren’t just advantages — they’re survival imperatives.
We invite you to IBM: ReadyToGROW – Happening on 11 December 2025 in Manila, this Executive Forum is an exclusive gathering for CXO and Transformation leaders like yourself to explore how to accelerate enterprise transformation—without the usual risk, cost, or complexity.
Why You Should Attend:
- Learn from Batam Airport’s transformation story—a regional peer that went live on SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition in 90 days using IBM’s industrialized factory model, powered by watsonx automation and pre-built industry templates.
- Participate in a live Cloud Readiness Assessment—designed for Philippine businesses balancing growth with regulatory demands (e.g., BIR compliance, PEZA reporting) and supply chain volatility.
- Experience Finance FastTrack demos showcasing pre-configured SAP S/4HANA solutions tailored for ASEAN mid-market dynamics—including peso-based financials, multi-entity consolidation, and real-time analytics.
- Connect with IBM, SAP, and fellow executives shaping the future of Philippine enterprise tech—with insights you won’t find in whitepapers.
Don’t just grow—grow with certainty. Reserve your seat now.
