Question and Answer
Q: Idea Place was open to everyone. Will the Customer Influence platform or program be open to all including employees, partners, independent consultants?
A: yes, most opportunities are open to all customers and partners, this is a core principle for both IdeaPlace and Customer Influence site
Q: concerns about SAP Lumira, a 2.0 product that went GA a few weeks ago, is not migrating – https://ideas.sap.com/SAPLumira – “mature and stable state”? Really?
A: The Lumira team just sent me a mail today saying that, ‘mature and stable’ is incorrect and they want to change the messaging. The session will pause while they focus on working on the ideas they have. I will be removing the ‘mature and stable state’ language shortly.
Q: Customer Connection does not usually have as many participants as, say, Ideas for SCN
A: For a Customer Connection Focus Topic, they are product or possibly even more narrow.
Q: Access for partners?
A: Partners have still access to most sessions. Similarly to IdeaPlace, some sessions are reserved to Customers only, but most sessions will accept Improvement requests and votes from Customers and Partners
Q: my idea has been “acknowledged” for over 12 months – and has 54 votes https://ideas.sap.com/D35883 – so it’s stuck
A: will have more reporting in the future
Q: Who is the Product Manager for the SAP Community?
A: Jerry Janda and team head up the SAP Community area. Oliver Kohl is product owner on IT side

IMHO this process for creation of focus topic is unnecessarily convoluted… To see what I’m talking about take a look at this old post and search for the comment by Cueneyt Cam: https://archive.sap.com/discussions/thread/3689775
