It has been a long time since many of us were waiting eagerly for the D-day of December 3, 2011 – the second SAP Inside Track event happening in India. And this time we did a unique thing – the event was simultaneously webcasted between Bangalore and Kolkata – where the event was co-hosted parallely, which I think is one of the first time for SIT events.
I coordinated the SIT event at Kolkata which took place at IBM India office and was attended by mostly IBMers but few freelance SAP consultants as well. The day started with a welcome un-keynote video by Jim Spath and Marilyn Pratt, which Jim specifically made for SIT India, followed by a brief welcome and introduction of the event and day's agenda to Kolkata participants and then the Design Thinking workshop which I conducted locally only for participants in Kolkata (when Kumud presented a session on community participation in Bangalore). In this session the teams were given a design challenge of building the Spaghetti marshmallow tower within 15 minutes. Out of the three teams, one completed the task much ahead of time and used a quick and clever method of making the tallest tower, who clearly made to the winning spot, showing how you can utilize the resources at hand to the maximum to make the quickest solution.
The sessions thereafter were shared between Bangalore and Kolkata via webcast and conference call using SAPConnect which are as below. The amazing and most interesting ones are SAP career and skill discussions by Jon Reed, martin.gillet2/blog and Leonardo De Araujo, Enterprise Mobility by Nilay Ghosh and Smarter Business Rules Management using BRF+ by Sangeeth Parvatam, NextGen NetWeaver Business Client and HTML5 Chips by Thomas Jung deserve special mentions.
