The SAP NetWeaver Portal team wishes you a happy holiday season and you will hear from us in 2013 with the next edition of the Portal news blog.

Impressions from SAP TechEd Madrid and Bangalore

SAP TechEd in Madrid was – similar to Las Vegas – a very busy event for the Portal team. 48 sessions were given: lectures, hands-ons, networking sessions and Q&As. We had 3 very successful customer presentations across the SAP TechEd and SAPPHIRE pavilions: Adidas, Deutsche Telekom and Vestas showcased successful implementations and business use of SAP NetWeaver Portal.
The Portal lectures and sessions were again fully booked (the same as in Las Vegas) and we were very happy to see again the great interest for the current SAP NetWeaver Portal version (7.3) and also for our new solution in the Portal portfolio: SAP NetWeaver Cloud Portal. Also in Madrid we observed a strong interest in mobility and the mobile capabilities in SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.3 SP8 with mobile enhancements (e.g. supporting tablet / SmartPhone) and Enterprise Workspaces 1.1 SP3 (with Mobile Homepage).

And another highlight of SAP TechEd Madrid: the Portal Twitter account @Portal_SAP was among the SAP TechEd top tweeters: https://twitter.com/sapteched/status/269087528693428224.

At SAP TechEd Bangalore our team was mainly represented by Portal Solution Manager Ohad Levy. Watch this interview with Ohad Levy explaining the Portal portfolio, innovations and future development: http://www.sapvirtualevents.com/teched/sessiondetails.aspx?sId=4155.

Here some impressions in pictures from the Madrid event:

Events

Partner Test Walldorf
On Monday November 26 we kicked off a 3 day partner test event in WDF with 22 partners spending the 3 days learning about the portal portfolio's solutions and latest innovations while testing it thoroughly.
Several in-depths test were conducted across the main portal themes and solutions like Portal on Device, Mobile Home Page, People Explorer, Cloud Portal.
During the days we collected direct and very valuable feedback from the partners which we plan to leverage during our planning and review phases. Thanks very much again to all partners (+ one SAP Mentor) who spent the 3 days with us and provided us with valuable feedback.


Portal Mobility and Cloud Innovation event in Raanana
Also on Monday November 26, the portal team in Raanana hosted 35 partners and customers for a full day of briefings focused on latest portal innovations around mobility and cloud. The day started with lectures about the portal roadmap and the latest portfolio innovations around portal on device, mobile enterprise workspaces and cloud portal. Key representatives from the development teams co-presented the sessions. The 2nd half of this day was focused on hands-on experience with 3 pods each staffed with both product and development experts to showcase our innovations and engage in discussions with the partners and customers.

Next Portal Tweetchat
