Buddy App

[RemiKaimal]

SAP should comeup with a buddy section or a Buddy app
With consultants spread across different geographies, its tough to find people to network to discuss whats new and not in SAP world

The buddy app should give options what all topic of interest, i have planned 4 certifications this year but could not progress on any
Just a thought, Buddy apps can be very helpful in the Corporate world too, people can volunteer to become Buddies to new joiners within companies too. The app should connect to the corporate guest wifi and should be able to connect with the active directory
Not everyone can groom a new joiner to fit the Organization

Just a thought!

That's an excellent idea. Over to the community managers to execute 😁

You know that I was building it? 
In react, the same. 
But as a developer I left after a while hahaha

Sad it went finished 😑
Can you throw in an insight to the areas you tried to cover while trying to build one?

Industries like Automobile, Insurance, etc will have restrictions with respect limiting the data on the mobility app
If SAP released a customized solution a Fiori App version or a product - would be a fun way of communication
There are new joiners, especially interns who swipe out and like to spend time to network, the HR team can track the swipe out timings and sent out a notification on the app saying "Hey! times up". The features can be many. These apps or products are a boom to New joiners varying from interns, Entry, Middle Level to Experienced but new joiners to the company
Someone does not need to search for a flyers / maps to load the building map

The real story is that I was working on a SAP press book. I just finished 1 week ago. Maybe I can try again and work on it now.

@RemiKaimal really cool ideas. Tagging my colleague @KatherineKenneally too! Wondering how we could use the SAP Community interest groups to get more engaged as you describe?

Some suggestions from what's available right now:

• Join the Beginner Corner, dedicated to those studying on learning.sap.com
• Join SAP Learning group, get answers to questions about our learning journeys, certification preparation, and reach your learning goals.
• See if there is already a location group near you - join there and connect locally, even take part in local events (location groups are set up by community members)
• Join interest groups and connect with other community members there.
