"
Thank you very much for inviting us to the SAP Manufacturing Day event. The event organization was excellent. This was considered beneficial and was very well received by both customer participants.
The event resonated the
Spirit of SAP putting “
Customer First”. The choice and content of session tracks and our interaction with the UX teams in particular gave us an excellent insight of how ‘user centric’ the products are being developed and the simplification it brings into key customer processes.
We look forward for next Manufacturing Day @ SAP Labs India.
