In the 1 hour session ALM106: "What IT Professionals Need To Know about SAP Enhancement Packages" I will focus on the architecture, technology facts and implementation procedure of SAP enhancement packages.
As you might already know SAP enhancement packages represent a new software delivery strategy that allows you to get innovations on top of SAP ERP 6.0 without the need for fully upgrading your current release. However with SAP enhancement packages, the methodology for implementing new functionality has significantly changed. This session outlines the basic ideas of the new concept and the implementation procedure for SAP enhancement packages for SAP ERP. Getting familiar with these procedures will help you to minimize implementation efforts and leverage the new technology. Part of the session will be very nice demo where I will guide you through the end-to-end installation process. Furthermore you will get the latest statistics, best practices from customers and an outlook about EHP's for the Business Suite in 2010.
