Today, in the same spirit, I’m going to highlight 5 of my favorite (and highly viewed) blog posts from past month on SAP Activate community page. The topics vary from new release of IBP content; through overview of the setup of the Starter system for SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition; to primer in developer extensibility. I encourage you to read the blog posts below and engage with the authors, ask questions, comment, and share these blog posts into your social media networks. Let’s learn from each other.
