The Customer Engagement Initiative (CEI) provides mainly the following benefits for customers:
- Get an early insight into SAP product plans
- Influence the product development
- Closely collaborate in a structured approach during the full development cycle at SAP
- Network with peers around one topic
- Securely exchange information in a clear legal framework for customers and SAP
There are different levels of engagement:
- In Detail (SAP to visit the customer, joint in depth discussion and analysis, SAP support for implementation)
- Review (workshops in Walldorf, Interviews)
- Info (status meetings)
The procedure is as follows:
- Register (contact me directly for the details until end of April, 2011)
- Initial Call
- Collaborate (in specification. design and setting of priorities, testing, piloting)
Primary benefits
- Gain early insights into SAP‘s product visions / ideas / research projects
- Gain early insights into potential later products through evaluation of early prototypes before they are implemented
- Provide requirements and feedback directly to the product team
- Establish a direct line of communication to the product development organization
- Be amongst the first to take new functionality into production
Ancillary benefits
- Opportunity to share ideas, solutions and best practices within an ecosystem of similar SAP customers and partners
- Have the opportunity to expand your professional network by participating in a community of business experts and end-users who share similar interests
SAP’s Customer Engagement Initiative - It's great to be part of it!
Topics in BRFplus to be part of CEI
- UI development; usage of RIA technologies such as Silverlight (e.g. for flow and tree modeling)
- Remote Code generation; using the BRFPlus workbench to model and deploy (generate) business rules into other systems (e.g. a CRM system on a code line which does not include BRFplus yet)
Sounds interesting? Don't hesitate to contact me.
