Session Catalog

Together with partner innovations, there are eight tracks. For those more familiar with the
product portfolio on SAP.com, here is a mapping.
Four tracks map to the pillars / service portfolios of the Business Technology Platform (BTP)
- ANA = Analytics
- DAT = Database and Data Management
- DEV = Application Development and Integration
- INT = Intelligent Technologies
The business suite and (cloud) business applications are separated into either ERP (SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud) and a CRM + HXM + Spend rack. Note that several cloud business acquisitions (still) organise their own events.
- DT = Data Transformation with Intelligent ERP
- ISP = Intelligent Suite Solutions and Processes
- CRM solutions (Sales Cloud, Marketing Cloud, etc.)
- HXM (SuccessFactors)
- Spend Management (Ariba)
The rest, and this includes several once separate tracks, are bundled under intelligent suite.
- IIS = Integrated Intelligent Suite
- User experience and UI technologies (SAP Fiori)
- Security and Identity Management (SAP Cloud Identity)
- Master data management
- Lifecycle management (Cloud ALM)

Over the years, for the SAP HANA Academy, SAP’s Partner Innovation Lab, and à titre personnel, I have written a little over 300 posts here for the SAP Community. Some articles only reached a few readers. Others attracted quite a few more.For your reading pleasure and convenience, here is a curated list of posts which somehow managed to pass the 10k-view mile stone and, as sign of current interest, still tickle the counters each month.
