Please welcome the thirteen new SAP Mentors that have been selected with your help. Many of them you will be able to meet at Sapphire in just over a week's time.
Some may not yet know us SAP Mentors . One paragraph for you, all others can skip:
SAP Mentors are the top community influencers of the SAP Ecosystem. Most mentors work for customers or partners of SAP. All of them are hands-on experts of an SAP product or service, as well as excellent champions for product roll-in and roll-out. They have been nominated by their peers on the basis of their passion for the community, their willingness to contribute and share as well as motivate others.
The SAP Community Network (SCN) recently got praised by the Aspen Institute: "... may be the most extensive use to date of social media by a corporation." With the SAP Mentor Initiative we are implementing the next level of engagement with our most passionate community influencers.* Currently there are only 90 SAP Mentors worldwide.
Two three times a year we ask the SAP Community Network members to nominate new SAP Mentor s. From the many suggestions we had the hard task to select the few that could fill the available spots. There were many more active passionate nominees, whom we unfortunately were not able to add this time. My sincere apology if you where one of them. The next round will be kicked off soon after Sapphire to be finished before the TechEd season in the fall.
Drum roll for the new SAP Mentors:
Sandy Kemsley Independent Analyst Canada
Sandy is an independent analyst and systems architect, specializing in business process management, Enterprise 2.0, enterprise architecture and business intelligence. In addition to my technical background, I’ve worked on the business operations end of projects, and I’m often involved from business requirements and analysis through technology design and deployment.
During my career of more than 20 years, I’ve started and run successful product and service companies, including a desktop workflow and document management product company from 1988-90, and a 40-person services firm specializing in BPM and e-commerce from 1990-2000. During 2000-2001, I worked for FileNet (now IBM) as Director of eBusiness Evangelism during the launch of their eProcess BPM product, and I was a featured speaker on BPM and its impact on business at conferences and customer sites in 14 countries during that time.
She brings with her enormous insight into the world of Business Process Management that goes beyond the SAP solution. She also greatly helped with the Process Design Slam last two years at TechEd. (She will be at Sapphire in Orlando)
