Hey Bengaluru SAP Community, I was really happy meeting many new folks in the recent community events like SAP Inside Track Bengaluru & SAP Tech Night Bengaluru and found that we have a new group dedicated to the SAP community here in Bengaluru.  Now that I am part of this group for sometime, I thought of starting a discussion to know about your SAP journey in Bengaluru. This way, we can better network with the community in this location, and maybe we can meet in our next SAP Inside Track Bengaluru 2023  😀 Soon...  Let me share my journey: I'm Syambabu, and I'm from Vishakhapatnam in the Andhra Pradesh region of India. I graduated from SRKR Engineering College in Bhimavaram with a degree in Information Technology. I started my professional career in Bengaluru in 2010 as an ABAP and SAP Mobility Platform developer in a startup company. I am currently working for TCS Bengaluru as an SAP consultant.  I really admire this city because of the weather and greenery and am very happy that I started my career in this garden city.  Bengaluru’s story has been and continues to be enjoyable to me.  That's about me, and now it's your turn to share your journey as a comment below  👉 and don't forget to join the Bengaluru group Thank you, Syam ...

Greetings SAP Community in Bengaluru, If you were fortunate enough to attend the last SAP Inside Track Bengaluru on 04/03/2023, you would probably have been exposed to a plethora of new technologies in SAP, such as SAP Build, CAP, RAP, Kyma, SAP ALM, sustainability, Concur, and value chain analysis, among others. With so much new information to digest, it's understandable if you feel a bit overwhelmed; I certainly do and plan to learn a few topics after this event. So let's all take this opportunity to share our areas of expertise, as well as what topics we would like to explore and learn more about :). At present, I have a good grasp of ABAP, SAPUI5 & SAP BTP and am looking forward to exploring SAP Datasphere & SAP Kyma. This feedback will be valuable in shaping the content for our upcoming SAP Community events in Bengaluru and helps in connecting with fellow community members ;). So please don't hesitate to share your thoughts!! Cheers! Mahesh   ... View more

  Last week, we had the second and final SAP Stammtisch meetup of the year, and it was a huge success! The food and drinks were great, and it was so nice to see old friends and meet new ones. One of the highlights of the evening was reconnecting with a friend whom I used to meet in an online meetup called SAP Yalsah that we used to organize from Dubai. During the meetup, I also shared some tips about writing a book based on my recent experience. I talked about how easy it was to start, how SAP-Press will help you manage the project, and the tools like Grammarly or ChatGPT, which can save tonnes of time for us. It was great to be able to share my knowledge with the group, and I hope that it was helpful to those who were interested in writing a book themselves. The weather was cool and comfortable,  but unfortunately, the traffic was huge, and some of us arrived a bit later than planned. Next time, we'll have to plan a bit earlier to avoid the rush hour crowds. The music was nice and added to the overall atmosphere of the meetup. However, by the end of the night, it was a bit too loud, so we went out and took some great pictures and selfies to remember the evening, and we're already looking forward to the next inside track event next year. Hopefully, we'll also be able to plan more SAP Stammtisch meetups in the future as well. Overall, it was a wonderful evening and a great way to end the year. Thank you,  SyamisUnique &  VijayCR , for organizing this event. Looking forward to the future community events in Bengaluru. Cheers! Mahesh ... View more

It's been a few days already since we had our First SAP Inside Track in Bengaluru (2022) after the pandemic. Although we announced it only two weeks before the event, the interest & the response from the community was quite loud, which can be seen clearly from the below pic full of smiles. This alone may not be enough to understand how the event went or how we can improve our future events. So we did a small post-event survey and got highly positive feedback from the attendees and, most importantly, the improvements they would like to see in the upcoming events. Let's dig down the feedback then 🙂 SAP Inside Track Bengaluru Experience Almost 80% of the people gave the highest rating and but only 1 person gave a - 1 rating. I believe that probably was mistakenly entered 😉 . So it is safe to say that most of the crowd enjoyed the event. 1- Least & 5 - Highest Interest for the Future Event We also wanted to check if they wanted to attend the future SAP Inside Track event, specifically to check if anyone is interested in presenting a session or volunteering at the event. Around 13% were interested in presenting a session, and another 13% wanted to help with the event. Multiple Tracks Approach This time we made a 2 track approach, one concentrated on the technical side and the other targeting the functional folks. We took a survey to check if the attendees liked it, and we got an overwhelmingly positive response. We also took another survey to check if they wanted more than 2 tracks by covering a wide variety of technical and functional topics, which is also received positive feedback. So probably, we will make 3 or more tracks in the future event, hopefully  😀 . Topic suggestions for the Future event It's always better to know what topics the community members are interested in, so we can plan for the next event, or this might help other event organizers prepare a better agenda. The top three winners of this survey are SAP BTP, SAP Integration Suite & ABAP on Cloud (Steampunk). General Improvements & Suggestions Apart from topic recommendations, we also wanted to check if they want to see improvements or provide any suggestions for future events. These are much needed for us as this is our first time organizing an offline event, and we need to know where to improve for the next event. Here are few of the interesting suggestions: Conduct small interactive & fun sessions (30 minutes or so) along with the technical sessions More functional topics along with the technical topics Hands-on Sessions Industry leaders to discuss visionary topics Guidance in new technical topics Bigger Audience More sessions (Full day) Sessions on the Latest Tech topics & tools Carrier Guidance More community interactions Share your experience here in case if you have missed submitting the survey :), and do join the Bengaluru Community group if you are from Bengaluru or Karnataka Cheers!
