Hayes Technology Group, the developer of Gold Client®, the premier refresh and replication data management software solution for use within SAP® solution-based environments, today announced that Chief Technology Officer Matt Hayes will host an educational session at the Managing Your SAP Data 2008 conference November 17-19, 2008, at the Mirage hotel in Las Vegas. Hayes will present best practices for handling SAP data in an acquisition or divestiture scenario based on his organization’s experience of more than 10 years with enterprise clients running SAP.

“Many companies running SAP are faced with challenges presented by the business side that have extreme data implications on the SAP landscape. One of these challenges deals with acquisitions and divestitures,” Hayes says. “We will be discussing some of these unique data challenges that an SAP project would be faced with when dealing with an acquisition or divestiture scenario, and examining best practices and strategies for handling the data.”

Hayes’ presentation will also cover what is required to properly scope, plan and organize an acquisition or divestiture project, and provide a comprehensive understanding of the common requirements, impacts, pitfalls and legal issues involving data for such projects.
