MANILA, Philippines - SAP customers, partners and executives will come together at the regional SAP World Tour 2011 in Manila to share with and hear from peers how software from SAP is helping companies run better. 

In addition to networking with industry and regional peers and partners, the participants are expected to leave the event with a distinct understanding of the product strategy aimed at enabling SAP customers to build a competitive advantage by collaborating, deciding, adapting and operating better.

This year, the SAP World Tour takes place in more than 50 cities in over 40 countries in Europe, Asia, Latin America and North America.
