The July-September 2012 issue of SAPinsider is now live on the web! This issue is packed with new information on SAP HANA, mobility, social collaboration, and more. Below I’ve showcased some highlights you don’t want to miss.

SAPinsider’s feature stories focus on 3D visualization in the business. SAP executives, like Hans Thalbauer, Senior Vice President of LOB Solutions for Supply Chain and R&D, discuss the acquisition of Right Hemisphere and how you can transform your company into a visual enterprise. The articles go even further to describe how 3D visualization can be used outside of PLM and benefit the entire value chain. In the executive Q&A, “How Visualization Will Transform the Enterprise,” Thomas Ohnemus shows how this technology can streamline sales and marketing processes.

3D visualization is a great example of how business technology is continually evolving. While the benefits are clear, there are also many challenges that come with innovation — and the responsibility to succeed often lies solely with CIOs. SAPinsider’s Special Report, “Solutions for the CIO” takes a look at how SAP partners such as BackOffice Associates, HP, and NTT DATA have adapted to the latest trends in the market, such as SAP HANA, big data, and mobility.
