SAP

I am celebrating 30 years of SAP technical consultancy and professional working life in July 2025.

1995 was the year I graduated and started working for Anderson Consulting ( now Accenture ) as a junior consultant.

I had a good time at SAP TechED 2016 and I learned a lot of new stuff … the number of sessions and technology topics to choose from is simply astonishing and unfortunately it is impossible to attend all … therefore I had to make ‘choices’ and my personal area’s of interest were mainly focused on ABAP, S4/HANA, UI and HANA.

The overall quality of the sessions was great and a lot of new information had to be ‘digested’ :-)

I have listed my personal key points that I took home from this edition.

Having a great time at SAP TechED 2016 and the great city of Barcelona.

The venue is very nicely organised and the sessions have been great so far … lots of new technologies and advancements to be discovered.

The big announcement of course during the key note was the birth of HANA 2 while the ‘fun part’ was about using HANA Cloud Platform for ‘Internet Of Things’ communication with a coffee vending machine … one more ‘cappuccino’ please !

I am getting ready to attend SAP TechEd 2016 which will start next week on the 6th of November in the nice city of Barcelona.

I am excited as this is the first time in my ‘SAP consultancy career’ that I am attending this event and this year it is a ‘special one’ as SAP is celebrating the 20th edition.

We arrived without any issues in Barcelona and went to the venue on monday to do our ’early registration’ … that worked out ‘flawless’ … the place was not really crowded so we had time to take our ‘I was there’ photo :-)
