1 Mind Map

Innovation Summit in Bratislava took place from the 26th of May - 28th of May 2014 and in the following I share my Mind Map as sort of summary of the event.

2 Details

2.1 SAP

Most important were the Demos of the new 9.1 release which really impressed me. Apart from that, SAPs Business One Mini Cloud / MCaaS approach seems to be worth looking at.

2.2 Implementation

The Summary of which of the different Reporting Tools to use in which scenario got my attention apart from fast Implementation Approaches (done by some VARs), HANA-related XApps and River as well as the known Sizing Tool from PartnerEdge. The session about KPI Designer were also interesting (Feature already included since 9.0 PL 9 but still evolving).

2.3 Maintenance

The RSP can be a great tool for VARs and is now available for B1H. In regard of the B1 Cloud, the Cloud Control Center is the comprehensive tool for Administration.

2.4 Cloud

During the Sessions on B1 Cloud Sizing and Configuration of Cloud Control Center were discussed as well as the so-called "Support User".

2.5 New Features (9.1)

In the Cockpit Area there are many new Features which you should definitively check out (especially for Demo-Cases). Apart from that Business-related new Features like working with multiple branches within one Company, Resources in Production or Optimization of the Sales Order Tabs were shown. Furthermore, Basic Functionality has evolved with Authorization Groups, the configurable UI (move fields etc.) and a powerful Excel Import and Export in the Grids. Technical Sessions discussed e. g. the new Service Layer and High Availability for HANA in context of B1H.

3 Miscellaneous

Thanks a lot to all the People who made this a great event!
