About the Customer Engagement Initiative
SAP wants customer’s early involvement in the development process. Many topics will be opened only for SAP customers, but there are also topics for which the contribution of partners is requested.
Note: The above information was pulled together from various sources: SAP, ASUG and VNSG with some edits by me.

Fantastic info, thank you Tammy Powlas !
Received with thanks and spreading the word.
Cheers, H
Thank you, Tammy! Great post, we need more information like this on SCN. The Influence site can feel like trying to find something on the Internet before Google existed. 🙂
Thanks Tommy, I have joined some of the groups, which I have interest. "SAP Analysis for Mícrosoft Office" URL is not working. Could you please check?
It is a very useful information for us. Thanks once again.
For some reason the site wants to add a %23 to the URL that does not belong
