I have been involved with the wonders of information technology for 20+ years, including 15+ years in the SAP environment. And I still love it.

Yes, SAP. For many, a completely chaotic, impenetrable jungle in a technical nightmare world. At the beginning of my journey, it looked no different to me; the software was not very user or administrator friendly, getting information was anything but easy, and the system’s sometimes jumbled error messages didn’t make it any better. If I had a curse jar in those days, I would be rich by now.

I still see this today when customers or colleagues come into contact with process digitalization in general – or the SAP software in particular – for the first time. “I’ll never understand that!” “Why can’t this just work?!” “What is this bug again?” “Why does such expensive software look so bad?”

Well – you can argue about the SAP Gui. But apart from that, once you have understood how the system ticks inside, how the individual areas interact and how you can orchestrate the system across modules, systems and archtitectures, then the journey through the roaring SAP sea suddenly becomes an exciting journey full of unexpected possibilities. And by the way, this is valid for most cases when it comes to digitization!

In this blog I would like to show individual parts of this journey, especially I would like to highlight how easy it is to get things up and running. Let me guide you through the cliffs. Join the ride!

3 … 2 … 1 … Go digital!
