    A new Forum is available in the SAP Community Network Forums area. This Forum should provide a platform to discuss open topics, questions, lessons learned from working with SAP NetWeaver Gateway. The forum is available with this link: SAP NetWeaver Gateway

    SAP NetWeaver Gateway is a technology that provides a simple way to connect devices, environments and platforms to SAP software based on market standards. The framework enables development of innovative people centric solutions bringing the power of SAP business software into new experiences such as social and collaboration environments, mobile and tablet devices and rich internet applications. It offers connectivity to SAP applications using any programming language or model without the need for SAP knowledge by leveraging REST services and OData/ATOM protocols. More details are available on SDN: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/gateway

    On June 13th 2011 the Ramp-Up for SAP NetWeaver Gateway was opened. Interested customers or partners can now apply for participation here http://service.sap.com/rampup.

    At this page you will find an overview on all active Ramp-Ups. SAP NetWeaver Gateway is located in the SAP NetWeaver section. Please get in contact with the mentioned contact persons or your account executive.

    I hope you all enjoyed the first part of the Blog about the SAP insider Conference in Orlando (Day One from the SAP Insider Conference in Orlando - SAP PLM). I am now listing what happened during the next days.

    At 8:30 on day two Hans presented the PLM Keynote. The main message was the focussing on Themes and Value Scenarios, and how well the new developments from PLM 7.0 and the Business Suite are supporting the overall end-to-end aproach. As an illustration I gave a demo, where an end-to-end scenario was walked-through directly inside the system. The overall scenario was quite similar to the demo that was shown during the overall launch of the Business Suite a few weeks ago (link). This presentation was very well attended - luckily enough we had a room big enough - unlike other colleagues...

    In one of the next sessions Renato went into the details of the Integrated Product Development (IPD) Scenario. He went through the high-level summary of the whole scenario and did then a more detailed explanation of the individual building blocks.

    In the afternoon I presented the news on PLM 7.0 in front of a nearly completely full room. In order to make the presentation more interesting I explained the many new features and concepts via a walk-through of the new system, including analytics, external access and the new improved usability.

    The evening ended in the Hickory Steakhouse, where the members of the Customer Value Network used the opportunity to discuss the various presntations and share their experiences.

    The next day Renato repeated the session about Easy DMS, and Markus went into the details of the Resource and Portfolio Management. Later the day Rob introduced - similar to Renatos presentation of the IPD scenario - the Continuous Product and Service Innovation. On Thursday I had the pleasure to repeat my presentation on the news in PLM 7.0.

    Overall it was a very succesfull and interesting event, where we all had many occasions to discuss the various topics of interest (Themes, Collaboration, Integration, ...) with our partners, the very interested and active customers and the industry analysts.

    Most of my colleagues - and me - already arrived on Saturady night via various routes at the Gaylord Palms resort in Orlando for the SAP Insider Conference. Just a few weeks back the same conference already took place at Nice, France. And already on sunday morning, 9:00 a.m., Dan started the first PLM related activity of the SAP Insider Event by presentig the Jumpstart session.

    In this three hour presentation (supported by a break) Dan gave an holistic overview on various aspects of SAP PLM - no basic knowledge of SAP PLM was required. Even considering the facts, that it was Orlando and Sunday morning, more than 70 intersted attendees were present.

    The next day Richard gave in his keynote (attended by ~2000 attendees) a very good mixture of presentation, demos and cutomer testimonials (Colgate-Palmolive also talked about their NPDI strategy with SAP PLM). The main moto was about the global economy, what individual companies could do - and how SAP is supporting these activities.

    One of the demos, that were presented during Richard's keynote, came form the Integrated Product Development Value Scenario. Here it was demonstrated, how a direct linkage between development, product management, manufacturing and sourcing helps to effectively react on issues.

    Shortly after the keynote I gave an update on the Engineering Desktop. Here I especially highlighted the advanced capabilities like handling of variant configuration or collaboration inside the new UI. The external collaboration was also demoed during my presentation. I was really surpised by the huge interest during the session (the room was completely full...) and also by the many interesting and good questions after the presentation.

    Then it was time for Robb together with Mark from Right Hemisphere to highlight the advantages of the integrated offerings from Right Hemisphere and SAP inside PLM, SCM or Manufacturing. Showing e.g. an RFQ pdf-file, supported by an embedded 3d graphic, is always a good showcase. This is also true for the training videos showing e.g., how to assemble products. Marks also gave a short training on how easy it is to create these videos.

    Later the day Markus and Dan (again...) presented details on the topic of Recipe Management and Renato gave an update on Easy Document Management.

    After all it was a great start for this SAP Insider event!
