This event was yesterday and here are some quick insights, similar to the analysis of SAP Inside Track Istanbul. I used a combination of Lumira and SAP Analytics Cloud.  What would the top topic be?  Top tweet?  See below:

So top counts include the SAP Inside Track twitter account and the SAP Mentors, along with community members.  Good to see Jakob Flaman who organizes SAP Inside Track Bern, make this list.

The text analysis shows the social media topics were tweeted the most, unlike SAP Inside Track Istanbul where it was twitter ID’s.

It is no surprise that the top topic was different versions of #sitWDF, the event hashtag.  Some attendees Periscoped the session, and interesting that ABAP was a topic topic (“ABAP is not dead”, so they say)

Top mentions in social media text analysis were SAP Mentors, SAP Inside Track, Jitendra Kumar Kansal Katarina Fischer and the SAP Community

Tag cloud shows a mix of twitter ID’s and topics, including Sven Denecken

The top language in tweets was English, with German second, and Turkish third.

Top tweeted time zone was Berlin (no surprise).  London is the timezone for SAP Inside Track twitter account, and Pacific is the SAP Mentor’s twitter account.  Bern is likely from Jakob Flaman.  Last year Amsterdam was in the top but not this year.

Yesterday, the day of the event, had the most tweets (no surprise).  Yesterday’s count at 809 is slightly lower than last year’s 875.

This one is always interesting; I haven’t heard of “Flamingo for Android”

For fun, I also used SAP Analytics Cloud – it gave a preview on topics/IDs from the Text Analysis

I like the feature “build my story” and it “knows” what I want to see.

This is hard to see but the Smart Discovery feature analyzes “retweets”.

On the iPad, the images are crisp using SAP Analytics Cloud.

Above is the image on the iPhone for SAP Analytics Cloud – the image is very easy to read.

The top tweet, at 20 retweets, is from Hendrik Neumann :

Usually the top tweet is the group picture, but there was a special announcement yesterday:

On the left, SAP’s Thomas Grassl with Malin Liden (video by Katarina Fischer  – I recommend SAP Community members watch this.

Top “favorited” tweet, with 47, is from Svea Becker 

What did I miss?

Pre-configured SAP and IBM industry accelerators for SAP S/4HANA pave the way to digital transformation.

IBM and SAP have been working together to drive the modernization of clients’ systems and processes to thrive in today’s global economy. Since our digital transformation partnership announcement in 2016, our companies have been working together to offer businesses of all sizes a clear roadmap to innovate new business models, products, and processes to improve outcomes.

As we collaborate closely with our customers, we have seen many of the challenges posed by their existing systems and IT infrastructures that weren’t built for the constantly changing requirements of a data-driven business environment. As customers are seeking to implement next-generation platforms capable of meeting the demands of modern-day business, the need for additional tools has become clear.

To help businesses keep up with increasingly rapid change, and accelerate the pace of their digital transformations, IBM and SAP are collaborating to expand SAP Model Company offerings with IBM’s Industry Impact solutions. With IBM as the first SAP Partner to leverage the SAP Model Company framework, we are working together to offer the market a complementary set of capabilities helping to simplify and speed outcomes for clients that want to become AI-enabled enterprises.

The breadth and depth of the SAP and IBM industry accelerators, combined with the strength of SAP and IBM’s consulting practices, gives customers a major head start on their SAP S/4HANA projects and provide clients the ability to realize value from their deployments with even greater speed and agility as they pave the way to digital transformation.

Early adopters of this combined approach are already seeing significant benefits, including exponentially greater process coverage and, according to IBM research estimates, from 20 to 30% increases in implementation speed from the use of pre-configured industry solutions.*

By offering combined complementary sets of capabilities and solutions, customers can expect greater value through enhanced customer and user experiences and industry-specific functionality— all enabled with SAP S/4HANA, available on premise and in the cloud.

For example, this summer, our companies jointly announced the first innovative offering for the retail and consumer packaged goods industries aimed to help businesses increase profitability and improve the consumer experience by responding with speed, precision and confidence leveraging hyper-local data and AI. This capability is integrated into IBM’s Impact Industry solution and will now be a part of our complementary Food and Beverage solution.

IBM currently delivers accelerators for industries including retail, consumer products, food and beverage, auto, life sciences, industrial products (IM&C), high-tech/electronics, wholesale distribution, utilities, A&D, oil and gas, chemicals and public sector. On average, the IBM Impact solutions extend SAP Model Company’s strong foundation and rich industry content with more than 100 additional pre-configured processes to each industry accelerator. In addition, IBM offers a deeply enriched set of data conversion, testing, and training accelerators to compliment the embedded processes. That means more industries making speedier transformations, and more businesses empowered to embrace the new data-driven world.
