“At the center of the Niner’s re-invention is SAP, the Germany-based enterprise software giant that knows a thing or two about re-invention itself. The Niners are one of SAP’s initial customers of the company’s burgeoning sports business practice, which is applying three of the biggest trends in technology to sports: big data, cloud computing and mobility.

By getting the mindset inside of SAP to change, Becher has been able to move marketing from an order taker for sales to a genuine business driver.

Jonathan Becher, SAP’s CMO, reveals his beliefs that the main differences in marketing compared to twenty years ago are the massive amounts of available data, re-framing marketing’s approach across multiple platforms, and engaging with customers in a different way. Through social media, Becher focuses less on talking to customers, and now focuses on creating a conversation with them. Not caring about his number of Twitter followers or Facebook likes, he strives to create dialogues with customers. He wants customers to know that he can help solve their business issues, not just sell them software.
