SAP and FC Bayern Munich announced that SAP becomes a platinum partner of FC Bayern Munich and is having strategic cooperation with it in the area of sports analytics and enterprise software. Consequently, on July 20 we have invited Jérôme Boateng and Tom Starke from FC Bayern Munich to Labs China Shanghai Campus and five of our customers from Sany Group, China Grand Auto, Heilan Home and Greenland Group, and Labs China’s colleagues have the opportunity to have face to face interaction with football stars.
After our showcase of SAP SportsOne, Jérôme Boateng and Tom Starke came to the stage. Our customers and colleagues communicated with the two stars in “Star Dialogue”, practiced ball juggling skills under the stars’ coach, and we kicked off SAP Autumn Football Match 2015. The climax came at the group photo, where everyone is posing and smiling.
It was such a success event that it greatly improves SAP’s employer branding, fastens SAP’s bond with customers, and demonstrates that our colleagues are so proud of being an SAPer. And it continues to create a sensation on social media (see the figures in the below football).
