ICYMI: There is a growing need for enterprises and application developers to have increased access to relevant contact details. However, there is also a huge need for the users of software and applications to feel as if their privacy is protected and their information won’t be compromised. Research by Gigya found that 68 percent of people don’t trust brands to handle their personal information appropriately.

Contact APIs provide a secure way for organizations to retrieve and modify user contact details programmatically without compromising the privacy of such users. Below you’ll find out about several contact APIs and what you can do with them. https://goo.gl/NnTMzy #DataIntegration #ML

Over the last year, all the new software components delivered by our software engineering teams have exposed HTTP standard REST APIs. This choice gave us a lot of benefits in terms of modularization and cooperation from an architectural point of view. But, we also had to learn new tools and practices in order to share documentation, design software solutions, and manage the evolution of our services.

We write private APIs (no need to deal with a public API portals or API economies). We also recently decided to adopt an open source solution based on Swagger tooling (I think there’s no need to introduce it or justify the choice in this post, there’s a lot of very well written stuff out there). https://goo.gl/hi4iFX #DataIntegration #ML

This year, I had the pleasure to be at the International SAP Conference for Utilities. I met many nice and interesting SAP customers, prospects, partners and colleagues who all have one thing in common – the passion for the utilities or oil and gas industry. If you work in this industry for a while you will notice that’s like a big family.

Next year’s conference will take place once again in the Lisbon, Portugal’s beautiful capital.

Because of the success of this event at this very nice location, we decided to held the event once again at this great place in South Europe.

The motto of next year’s conference is “Reaching New Heights in a Digital World” and the event will take place from April 17-19, 2018.

The first edition of the agenda is now available which shows you what to expect from this international event.

Tracks, live solution demonstrations and interactive session focusing on Cloud and Data Platforms, SAP Leonardo, Machine Learning, Bockchain, Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence. We will have high-profile speakers, such as Cyber Security Specialist Patrick Miller, and Stephan Parthier, Senior VP Corporate IT at Uniper. Customers, partners and SAP employees will share best practices and you will have the opportunity to collaborate wtih others from the Utilities business.

On the first day, we will offer half day and full day workshops to deep dive into topics such as SAP S/4HANA, SAP Cloud innovations, Cloud for Energy and many more. The registration for workshop is already possible.

Please take a look at the event webpage to learn more about this conference.

Last year, I had the chance to extend my stay and spend three extra days in Lisbon. We visited great places, enjoyed the delicious food, the sunshine and the nightlife. I will never forget the city tour on a segway. By driving through the narrow streets of Lisbon, I enjoyed the spirit of Lisbon and experienced lots of great places of this charming town.

 
 

You will probably meet me at the information desk. If you want to, you can subscribe for our Utilities newsletter. I am looking forward to meeting you in Lisbon!

See you soon,

Nicole
