The global and independent platform for the SAP community.

SAP Solution: GitHub

Open source and GitHub/GitLab are closely linked. Three years ago, GitHub created a monetization option for open source developers and companies with the sponsorship button.
Since the beginning of this year, there has been a discussion on the topic: How contemporary is S/4? But the question must be asked in the same way: How innovative and stable is Hana?
Joining the SAP Executive Board may have come as a surprise to Jürgen Müller, but times are challenging. The SAP community is undergoing a digital transformation and old construction sites need to be cleaned up.
Creating new possibilities in the development of Abap code by using open source tools not only sounds good, but can really convince in practice.
There are lights and shadows in SAP's strategy analysis: The Linux decision was absolutely right!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote in the first part of Faust as credits to the witch's one-time: Usually man believes, if he hears only words, it must be possible to think thereby also something!
Many existing SAP customers already deliver changes and enhancements continuously and automatically - but not for their SAP solutions. An end-to-end DevOps toolchain provides a remedy here.
At Sapphire 2018, SAP made big announcements: the Intelligent Enterprise, C/4 Hana or the SAP Data Management Suite. The focus was also on the importance of the SAP Cloud Platform and the importance of integration - also of non-SAP systems, especially those from Microsoft.
Microsoft, Facebook, Google and Amazon have also recognized the trend and released parts of their source code. Success stories like Firefox or OpenOffice.org have shown that open source projects can prevail.
Git is considered one of the most important innovations for software developers of the past decade. But what is GitHub anyway?

Working on the SAP basis is crucial for successful S/4 conversion. 

This gives the Competence Center strategic importance for existing SAP customers. Regardless of the S/4 Hana operating model, topics such as Automation, Monitoring, Security, Application Lifecycle Management and Data Management the basis for S/4 operations.

For the second time, E3 magazine is organizing a summit for the SAP community in Salzburg to provide comprehensive information on all aspects of S/4 Hana groundwork.
