This week I joined over 120 professors from SAP University Alliances member schools from across the Americas gathered for the annual SAP University Alliances Summer Workshops at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Professors were enabled on SAP S/4 HANA ERP, SAP Analytics, ERPsim and SAP HANA Applications. We also introduced the SAP Learning Hub - Academy Edition to the many new professors joining our group. I provided an update to the group on current SAP University Alliances priorities and plans for the coming academic year including our SAP Next-Gen events.
