CeBIT 2014 – See you there!

This year, for the first time, datenwerke will be at CeBIT 2014 in Hannover (Germany). As a co-exhibitor with Hessen Trade & Invest we will set up our stand in Hall 2 (Digital Business Solutions).
Besides presenting our web-based open source business intelligence software ReportServer, we will also introduce TDE:R3, which helps you standardize your data exports from SAP R/3 and therefore lower your IT-costs by eliminating the need for custom ABAP programs to extract business data.
We are looking forward to meet up with you! If you still need tickets, or like to schedule an appointment contact us at info@datenwerke.net
