Where Will You Find Your Innovation?

I was working on a home improvement project some years back, sheet-rocking my family room, if you must know. The hardest thing about sheet rocking is cutting out sections to accommodate light switches, outlets, speaker mounts, and other wall and ceiling receptacles. To say it’s tedious is an understatement. A friend came by to see what sort of mess I was making and he watched me as I proceeded to use my utility knife to carve out the sections for my receptacles. Seeing what I was doing, he goes to his truck and returns with an amazing tool— a battery-powered speed saw. This amazing tool saved me tons of time and pain and it was like it was made exactly for what I needed. The perfect tool for the job.

I’m reminded of this experience as I think about the problems companies have. In these fast-changing times, people are looking for innovation and ways to improve their organizations. When challenged with deciding whether to embark on a new project, to continue to work the same old way, or to find a new tool, most people would be grateful to have a tool that solves their problems.

That’s where the SAP App Center comes in—with over 1000 partner-created applications, there is a high likelihood that the solution to your digital enterprise problem may already exist. It’s just a matter of a friend showing up with the right tool for your needs.

Enter, the SAP App Center
