Keeping pace with the rapidly developing world of information technology is a need that SAP helps to fill with openSAP. openSAP is developed and provided by SAP in cooperation with the Hasso Plattner Institute.
Customers and employees are becoming more demanding and product lifecycles are shrinking, requiring organizations to adapt at a faster pace than ever before. Most organizations have made great strides in improving their processes and technology, but they have overlooked the human element. That’s what experience management is all about.Experience management (XM) is an approach for delivering breakthrough results by better understanding and responding to how people think and feel. Organizations that master XM continuously learn, propagate insights, and rapidly adapt. Is this the type of organization that you want to work in?This course describes how organizations can tap into XM to consistently deliver breakthrough experiences. Industry visionary Bruce Temkin will explain how XM can be embedded across every facet of an organization’s operations. The training will explain what XM is, why it’s important, and outline the competencies required for success.
In the age of cloud ERP, it’s much easier to extend SAP S/4HANA than it was in previous ERP systems. Traditional extensions were often tightly interwoven with the core ERP and made it hard for SAP and its ecosystem to innovate at speed. But now, thanks to SAP S/4HANA and SAP Cloud Platform, the SAP ecosystem can easily build and maintain value-adding ERP extensions.
The world is changing at an unprecedented pace. This demands new skill sets for employees and a digital approach to HR that keeps organizations resilient and agile enough to respond to any challenge the future holds. Bringing your HR to the cloud is a sustainable deployment option for the long term. It enables you to take advantage of the latest HR innovations, engage employees more effectively, and solve business issues in real time – creating the building blocks for your organization to become an Intelligent Enterprise.To help you realize these benefits quickly, we created Upgrade2Success, a comprehensive program that has all you need to move from your on-premise SAP ERP HCM solution to the cloud.

Never before have we seen such disruption as in today`s economy. Surviving in this market is a constant struggle, and to do this, companies need to transform into an intelligent enterprise that innovates faster than the competition. Innovative technologies can serve as the backbone to continuously reinvent customer experience, accelerate productivity, and use analytics to make the right data-driven decisions.SAP S/4HANA Cloud is SAP`s flagship intelligent cloud ERP that provides customers with the broadest and deepest AI-powered functionality on the ERP market. With this intelligent cloud ERP, companies can foresee developments early on and take appropriate actions even before situations arise. Not only that, over the next three years, we have set the goal to automate half of all ERP business processes. To top it off, it is the first hands-free ERP solution the world has ever seen. Using the natural language interaction capability of SAP CoPilot, our digital assistant, users can operate and interact via voice instead of typing in commands.In the first week of this course, we’ll set the foundation and provide information on our key pillars for intelligence, such as automation primarily achieved by machine learning, and digital user experience. After setting the scene, we’ll present several use cases across LoBs that showcase the built-in intelligence in SAP S/4HANA Cloud. In the second week, you’ll hear how our intelligent technologies, such as machine learning, predictive analytics, and natural language interaction, can be used in practice in the areas of finance, procurement and EPPM. In the third week, we’ll conclude the use cases with the areas of sales and manufacturing.Completing the course, you’ll learn in detail how innovative technologies such as machine learning, predictive analytics, and digital user experience using SAP CoPilot can be utilized in practice to gain an intelligence edge over the competition.
SAP HANA is an in-memory data platform that is deployable either as an appliance or in the cloud. At its core, it is an innovative, in-memory, relational database management system that exploits all the capabilities of current hardware to increase application performance, reduce total cost of ownership, and enable new scenarios and applications that were not possible before.SAP HANA enables you to build applications that integrate the business logic, the control logic, and the database layer with unprecedented performance. As a developer, one of the key issues is how to minimize data movements. The more you can do directly on the data in memory next to the CPUs, the better the application will perform.This course will build upon last year’s Introduction to Software Development on SAP HANA course and go deeper into each of the major topics around SAP HANA native development. We will explore the many advances in the programming model and tooling that came with SAP HANA SPS6, SPS7, and SPS8.During the course, we will use SAP HANA studio as well as several new Web-based tools (for example, the Web-based Development Workbench, SAP HANA Lifecycle Management, and SAP HANA XS Administration Tool).We will also go well beyond the basics of each of the programming models, allowing discussion of deeper, real-world patterns and anti-patterns. We will look at the architecture of applications that are not just read-only or analytic but also transactional or provide an interface with transactional systems. We will also look at the extended capabilities of SAP HANA, from beyond a database to a complete application platform.Registration, learning content, final exam, and Record of Achievement are free of charge. However, to fully benefit from the course, you can access a fee-based system environment to develop your own code.Course RequirementsA basic knowledge of database technology, especially relational databases, SQL query language, and JavaScriptA general understanding of how columnar, in-memory databases workCompletion of the Introduction to Software Development on SAP HANA course or similar basic experience with SAP HANA native development

Globalization has fundamentally changed the mode in which businesses operate. Organizations need to scale up and expand to cater for the ever-increasing market demand. Businesses proliferate mainly inorganically, through mergers and acquisitions. The need is to onboard newly acquired subsidiaries, which may be in different geographical locations and with a different set of established business processes, into existing IT systems, or integrate the disparate IT systems of multiple entities.Organic growth is achieved by diversifying lines of business (LoB), where existing IT systems need to be adapted for new LoB-related business processes. In addition to all this, businesses are feeling the need to integrate with the extended supply chain comprising vendors, sub-contractors, distributors, and so on, in different IT landscapes.In a digital economy, two-tier ERP attempts to solve this paradox of seamlessly integrating multiple ERP landscapes. Two-tier ERP entails an organization’s IT landscape operating in two different tiers: tier 1, focusing on the stable and traditional areas of the business processes that require stability, and tier 2 for the innovative and disruptive aspects of the business need for agility. This course explains the concept of two-tier ERP and provides a detailed view of how organizations can get set for a journey towards digital transformation with two-tier ERP with SAP S/4HANA Cloud.First, we’ll provide you with an overview of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, followed by the business case for two-tier ERP. We’ll then briefly explain how master data can be handled centrally, and you’ll learn which integration concepts are applicable in a two-tier ERP model.After you’ve been introduced to the finance and sales processes, we’ll present manufacturing and procurement use cases that are available with the latest release of SAP S/4HANA Cloud.We’ll also have a special unit from one of our early SAP S/4HANA Cloud adopters, Topcon Positioning Systems, who will share their perspective and experience of how they successfully leveraged the concept of two-tier ERP with their on-premise ERP system and SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
