Community & Environment

We continue to develop and drive success for the SAP community across the UK and Ireland in a number of ways.

Customer Experience

Customers have more choices, information and flexibility at their fingertips than ever before. The business they choose will be the one that gets them answers, options and delivery quickly and without fuss. To stand out, your business must be both agile and resilient, offering customers convenience and transparency plus the freedom to interact and explore.

Data & Analytics

The Data & Analytics Community provides opportunities to network, share knowledge and receive independent views and has a strong following of like-minded professionals.

Enterprise Architecture

This Community supports Enterprise Architects by providing key information on SAP products and strategy. It’s designed for business or IT professionals in decision-making roles, tackling challenges like integrating mode 1 and mode 2, adopting technologies like Machine Learning and Blockchain, anticipating future needs with innovative, design-led systems and exploring cloud migration strategies.

Enterprise Asset Management

Our Community endeavours to assist you in overseeing the complete lifecycle of your physical assets through SAP's Enterprise Asset Management software systems.

Finance

Platform

The Platform Community endeavours to clarify the theory and fundamental principles underpinning the diverse array of platform combinations within the SAP landscape, designed for data ingestion and processing.

Public Sector

The Public Sector Community offers a platform for organisations to exchange experiences, address challenges and discuss plans regarding SAP development and maintenance. In an era of austerity, where the public sector seeks to achieve more with limited resources, networking and sharing best practices are essential.

S/4HANA

The S/4HANA Community is platform for SAP customers and partners to collaborate, network and share their technical and business experience and expertise on S/4HANA.

Security & Control

The Security & Control Community encompasses various business areas, including IT Security (which includes SAP Basis experts), IT & Financial Audit and Risk Management. One of the primary objectives of this group is to enhance awareness and comprehension of SAP security features across the SAP product portfolio, spanning ERP, S/4HANA and other specialist areas with control aspects such as licencing.

Small & Medium Enterprise

SMEs make up a significant portion, 99.9%, of the business landscape. Their impact on the UK's GDP is substantial, contributing to 25% of the nation's total GDP. This statistic underscores the importance of supporting small businesses, as doing so can contribute to long-term economic growth in Britain.

Supply Chain

The Community spans the design, planning, execution, control and monitoring of the movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption, using both traditional SAP Business Suite and S/4HANA. Meetings are attended by a wide range of users from the Supply Chain community; from practitioners and implementation experts to SAP support users and those simply curious as to what is available using the latest technologies.

User Experience

The UX Community, established in 2014, serves as a platform to explore various facets of user experience (UX) within SAP software. This encompasses both technical and architectural aspects of SAP's UI technologies, including UI5, Personas, Fiori and more. Additionally, the community delves into softer aspects of UX such as business process analysis and design thinking.
