Let's Talk Services Strategy at SAPPHIRE NOW

[Former Member]

I recently had a chance to meet with the Services Marketing team in Newtown Square, PA (SAP's HQ in the US). I'm new to the group so it was a really great learning experience for me to better understand the world of SAP Services.

Now before you disregard marketing folk, they do have an important role and perspective in the SAP Ecosystem.  While the more technical folk can explain the real nitty gritty, sometimes it's at a level that is beyond me, and perhaps beyond those of an average business user. Our team has the role of helping to translate the technical lingo into business value, and isn't that the whole point of SAPPHIRE NOW --understanding how to get the most business value out of SAP?

I had a chance to talk with 2 great people from SAP Services. I'll let you listen to what they have to say, but I encourage you to seek them out (they are both pretty tall so they should be easy to spot!) They are friendly, approachable and most important are very realistic about the pros & cons around today's business challenges. I'll let them do the talking.

Jeff Winter is the VP of Services Marketing and Rapid Deployment Solutions.  Go ahead and challenge him to see if SAP can be deployed rapidly. He's up for the challenge!

Ulrich Scholl, VP of Portfolio Marketing is always up for a good Services strategy discussion. He's actually a pretty enthusiastic guy!

I already searched all the Services and Rapid Deployment Solution sessions in the agenda builder. Visit this link and scroll to the bottom.  Jeff, Ulrich and I encourage you to explore at least one session this year. Keep a look out for us and do stop us to say hello.

I'm honored to be your Services Ambassador this year so be sure to follow along and reach out on twitter at @SAPServices

I'm interested in meeting those who have used SAP Services and interested in hearing about your experience. Let me know in the comments and if you plan on being at SAPPHIRE NOW in Orlando. See you soon!
