#2. SAP BTP at UX Innovation Summit 2023 by Mindset Consulting
| This is a blog post series about all the SAP Community events I attend, specifically focusing on SAP BTP content, speakers, and sharing my experiences. By doing this, I want to let the community members in this region know the significance of attending these events and what they get out of it, especially an opportunity to learn about SAP BTP and a platform to share their BTP knowledge. Open this tag to check out this series. |
In the next chapter of this series, I want to share about the recent SAP Community event – UX Innovations Summit in Bengaluru on 20th May 2023. This event was organized by Mindset Consulting, who also sponsored other sap community events in this region such as sitGGN & sitHYD. The event was quite a success, thanks to Parvathy Sankar , Kamalika Bhar, and the entire organizing & volunteer team.
The event was kickstarted by an energizing keynote/panel discussion from Parvathy Sankar, Uma Rani & Mrudula Sreekanth on the importance of UX in the world of SAP. After that, the sessions started in 4 tracks, 2 demo areas, and one HandsOn. The exciting part is that two of the track’s main focus was SAP BTP and the other two were related to UX. The 2 demo pod areas and the HandsOn were also majorly BTP-focused.
SAP BTP Sessions at UX Innovation Summit
I had the opportunity to organize a Hands-On on the use case SAP Datasphere. You can find more details below. One of the questions that I got is from EY about how to position SAP Datasphere considering that there are many alternative solutions. My simple response is it comes with Business Context and Logic intact, unlike other platforms and also one can easily switch between live data or data replication depending on the scenario. You can find more about the use case below:
