PALO ALTO, Calif. - February 20, 2006 - Seeking to meet its increasing personnel requirements amid steady growth in an otherwise volatile Silicon Valley job market, SAP Labs, a subsidiary of SAP AG (NYSE: SAP), today announced “Career Momentum,” a career and recruiting event being held on Tuesday, February 21 with a host of SAP Platform Ecosystem partners. Taking place at the offices of SAP Labs in Palo Alto, the event offers an inroad for software engineers and sales and marketing professionals to explore career opportunities with SAP, SAP Labs and partners including Aztec Software, Bristlecone, Blue Titan, Conformia Software, Gamma Enterprise Technologies, Hyperion, Teradata, Vendavo and Virsa Systems.
“We are sending a strong message to the job market, a message of leadership, growth and new opportunities,” said Aliza Peleg, managing director of SAP Labs. “We are inviting folks around the valley to come see who we are and meet our platform ecosystem partners—because we’re all hiring. We have tremendous momentum in the market place, and Silicon Valley is a vital component of that momentum. With thousands of technology jobs having been consolidated away in the wake of recent corporate acquisitions, the top talent in Silicon Valley is turning to SAP and its partners for career development and success.”
Market consolidation is driving what has been called one of the most significant shifts in technology talent in the history of Silicon Valley as many of the region’s brightest professionals have already joined the ranks at SAP (see related press release, titled “SAP Attracts Top Talent from the Ranks of Chief Rivals,” at www.sap.com/company/press/Press.epx?PressID=4740).
Career Momentum is being held from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, February 21 at SAP Labs, 3410 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, CA. SAP, SAP Labs and partners are hiring for hundreds of positions in Silicon Valley and worldwide in areas such as engineering, research, sales, marketing, and finance and administration. Company representatives and recruiters from SAP, SAP Labs and partners will be on hand to provide key information about open positions and career opportunities. To participate in the event, candidates are encouraged to first submit their resumes on the SAP Labs career Website at www.sap.com/usa/careers/saplabs.
“Technology professionals are invited to join the momentum of SAP and its Platform Ecosystem partners, experience the growth and take part in the opportunity,” said Jasvir Gill, chairman of the board, CEO and CTO of Virsa Systems. “The market dynamics have shifted and our customers have spoken—now is the time to get an inside look at what SAP and its partners have to offer.”
