8 Professors from 6 UA schools attended the SAP Forum for Public Services, New Delhi on 13th August.Their was a participation of over 1000
delegates(customers, prospects and partner ecosystem) at the event. The theme for the fourth edition of the SAP Forum for Public Services  was ‘Good Governance Today for a Progressive Tomorrow’, focusing on how SAP  can partner and help the government in its priorities for a progressive India.

A few of the Key highlights of the event are captured below:

  • There were1064 attendees at the SAP Forum, from over 350 unique Government entities & partners.
  • The SAP Forum – Public Services was officially supported by Department of Electronics and Information technology, Government of India for the fourth year in a row.
