Sitting at a coffee shop at the corner of Spadina and Queen, in the heart of the Toronto fashion district, I am enjoying a latte and some serious 'people watching'. I thought that this location, near the iconic thimble, would be the best spot in the city to write this blog.
I would like to introduce you to my new best friend, my personal shopper and life saver. Meet My Runway, the smart way to shop.
Please note that this solution is currently available in China and USA but I think it will spread across the globe in no time.
Yes, this is an SAP solution for those that are scratching their heads! And, there is an excellent story about innovation and collaboration behind this new SAP mobile app.
Furthermore, earlier this year at MWC 2013 I interviewed lalit.canaran, Director of Emerging Technologies and elena.hartlieb, Business Development & Customer Engagement Lead for My Runway, about the SAP AppHaus concept and program. This new approach is driving innovation and has spread across the globe in multiple SAP offices. It brings together customers, partners and SAP product experts to collaborate and deliver amazing mobile experiences. The My Runway app was developed in an SAP AppHaus, watch the video to the right to learn more about this innovative approach to new solutions.
Moving from how it was created, let's turn to the solution itself.
In the first video above, elena.hartlieb and lalit.canaran noted that they used design thinking to build their mobile apps. You too can learn how to use this approach to design and deploy a mobile solution in an open session tomorrow in Toronto.
Please join the Mobile Experience Innovation Centre (MEIC) for the launch of its new responsive website featuring videos from the Mobile Accelerator Program (MAP) 2013 series on New Product Development and the kick-off of the upcoming MAP series on Design Thinking. Helping MEIC to launch the MAP series on Design Thinking is Dr. Niels Billou:
Featured talk by Dr. Niels Billou who will explain the principles and practices of Design Thinking and how they can be applied to innovation challenges in the mobile space.
I hope to see you at the session tomorrow because SAP has played a significant role in the content for the new website and program!
