Influence SAP by testing the CPQ UI usability in Berlin

Hi CWG,

Update: The slots are filling; if you want to participate in our usability test and influence SAP, then now is the time to contact SAP and secure the slot that fits your conference program needs.  Have a look at the program and then just send me a mail at karlheinz.agsteiner@sap.com, and if you want, include your "wish slot" (time or slot number is both fine). Some slots are already reserved, and I'm assigning testers "first come, first served".

Norddeutsches Chapter der CWG

Norddeutsches Chapter der CWG 

Sehr geehrte SAP Variantenkonfigurationsnutzer und –Nutzerinnen und User der CWG. Auf der letzten CWG Konferenz in Prag wurde diskutiert, ob es nicht endlich an der Zeit wäre, ein norddeutsches Chapter der CWG zu gründen, um uns auch im hohen Norden mit Ideen und Fragen rund um die SAP Konfiguration intensiver und besser austauschen zu können.

2015 Ft. Lauderdale Conference Observations

Back home with a couple of days reflections under my belt.. As usual, it's time for me to express myself about the conference I just attended..

Remember that old saying "be careful what you ask for, you just might get it?"

Well, that happened to me. And I didn't like it. You see, I've been one of those people asking for a North America venue change for a couple of years. Don't get me wrong, I like Marco Island, but I wanted to "see more of the world"...

I don't like Fort Lauderdale. Lots of reasons that I won't bother getting into here..

Are you interested in sharing knowledge and information around VC?
Would you like to extend your network with people who are nearby?

In case of 'yes' , do not hesitate to register for this first chapter meeting.

CWG Observations

The flight back from Europe is a long one.. Granted, not as far as coming back from Asia!

The time on the plane does give a person an excuse to think...

It's been a while since I've written anything here, so I thought, what the heck, let me express my thoughts on the plane in written form... Here..

My thinking was all about where the CWG has been, my somewhat warped perception of where we are now, and my even more warped perception of what I'd like to see us do in the future..
