Wrap-up from TechEd Bangalore
Our colleague Thomas Hensel from the Portal Product Management team went to Bangalore and spent a very exciting and successful week in India. Here are some statements from Thomas when describing his impressions from Bangalore: “Bangalore offers really a special atmosphere with lot of people attending the conference. Sessions happened in tents. The audience is very technical oriented and participants (especially consultants, partners) are very happy with the new momentum of the portal. The participants also highly appreciated to directly talk to a PM expert from the Portal team in Walldorf. The pod hours are very crowded as they are listed in the official session schedule. Also the Portal lectures, hands-on sessions and live expert session were very well attended."

I suppose many customers and partners waited for this news. The recently released technology innovation of SAP NetWeaver 7.3 has been adopted by and released for SAP Business Suite Java applications.
Most of the existing Business Packages (Portal Content) are compatible to SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.3. In this case no new Software Component Version had to be introduced. Therefore during an upgrade from previous SAP NetWeaver Portal releases, those Business Packages get only updated to the latest SP version, but no change to new Software Component Versions is required.
