SAP values and encourages the development of its global communities, recognizing that knowledge exchange, networking, and collaboration are essential to the collective success of the ecosystem. Through programs such as SAP Champions and SAP Mentors, as well as events organized by local communities, SAP reinforces its commitment to connecting people and fostering innovation.
Global Programs: SAP Champions and SAP Mentors
SAP Champions, launched in 2019, celebrates leaders in SAP communities, not only for their technical contributions but also for their ability to inspire and engage other members. These professionals are essential in creating an inclusive environment and disseminating knowledge.
SAP Mentors bring together prominent influencers from the SAP ecosystem, such as customers, partners, and consultants. These mentors are recognized leaders in their fields and actively contribute to improving SAP solutions, sharing strategic feedback with product teams and executives.
Local Events: Fostering Collaboration and Knowledge
SAP Inside Track (SIT)
SAP Inside Tracks (SITs) are events organized by local communities to share experiences, success stories, and trends in SAP solutions. Recent examples include:
- SIT Fortaleza (2024): This event, which brought together professionals at the Luzeiros Fortaleza Hotel, featured lectures on topics such as SAP Activate and SAP S/4HANA and promoted networking in the Northeast region of Brazil.
- SIT Porto (2024): The inaugural edition in Portugal highlighted topics of local and global relevance, strengthening the SAP community in Europe.
SAP CodeJam
SAP CodeJams are hands-on events aimed at developers who want to deepen their knowledge of SAP technologies. During these sessions, participants can learn hands-on, experiment with SAP APIs and tools, and interact with experts. These meetings are often held in cities with SAP professionals, such as São Paulo, Lisbon, Porto, and Munich.
SAP Stammtisch
SAP Stammtisch, which takes a more informal approach, is a regular gathering organized by local communities. In a relaxed atmosphere, participants discuss solutions and trends and share challenges. These events are popular for creating authentic connections and fostering the exchange of ideas between consultants, customers, and partners.
The Role of Consulting Firms as Sponsors
A striking feature of these events is the collaboration of SAP consulting firms that act as sponsors and knowledge catalysts. These firms play a key role, contributing to the following:
- Success Stories: Presentation of relevant projects carried out in the region, highlighting successful implementations, such as SAP S/4HANA, SAP Analytics Cloud, and other innovative solutions.
- Workshops and Lectures: Sharing insights on specific challenges and solutions applied to different industries.
- Networking: Facilitating connections between participants and business opportunities.
Local companies, such as large multinational and regional consultancies, strongly support events such as SIT and CodeJam, ensuring knowledge sharing from their geographies.
In conclusion, Events such as SAP Inside Track, SAP CodeJam, and SAP Stammtisch strengthen local communities, promote innovation, and create continuous learning environments. The support of consultancy companies is essential for the success of these meetings, consolidating the relationship between SAP, its partners, and customers.
In addition, SAP Champions and SAP Mentors play a fundamental role as articulators and motivators of local communities. They are responsible for organizing, encouraging participation, and ensuring that the content of the events is relevant and of high-quality events.
