Some 60 customers, business partners, SAPers and IBMers attended the event in Ehningen and used the opportunity to talk to IBM and SAP developers from Rochester, MN and Germany and to exchange their experiences and plans with their peers. If you could not make it this time, make sure to reserve some time for that event when it happens again next year. We will inform you as soon as the next Summit for SAP on IBM i customers is scheduled.
