The future is here with SAP S/4HANA: A Digital Core
designed for 21st century business needs To thrive and stay
relevant, companies need to rethink business models, business
processes and how people work. This requires a breakthrough
technology that finally bridges the gap between transactional and
decision making systems. To achieve this, SAP invented the most
disruptive pure in-memory column store business platform, SAP
HANA. With SAP HANA we can finally re-imagine business. Built
on SAP HANA, SAP S/4HANA is a break-through, next generation
business suite, a “Digital Core” that provides immediate insight,
intelligence beyond automation, and integration not only between
departments but connected to the world. SAP S/4HANA is also
complemented with an entire set of solutions to drive business
value on the edge of the enterprise.

SAP S/4HANA platform integrates with IoT sensors, analyses Big Data, plans and predicts business processes in an online mode based on historical data.
ASAP Methodology
ASAP stands for Accelerated SAP. Its purpose is to help design SAP implementation in the most efficient manner possible. Its goal is to effectively optimize time, people, quality and other resources, using a proven methodology to implementation. ASAP focuses on tools and training, wrapped up in a five-phase process oriented road map for guiding implementation.
The road map is composed of five well-known consecutive phases:
• Phase 1 Project Preparation
• Phase 2 Business Blueprint
• Phase 3 Realization
• Phase 4 Final Preparation
• Phase 5 Go-Live and support

Metodología utilizada para llevar a cabo la Implementación del Proyecto ERP SAP.
ASAP es un acrónimo para la metodología Accelerated SAP, desarrollada por SAP AG para la ejecución de proyectos de implementación de sus soluciones de software.
Inicialmente fue creada para lograr una práctica estándar en las actividades tanto de consultoría como de logística y otros aspectos necesarios para que los proyectos de implementación del ERP de la compañía (llamado inicialmente SAP R/3) se realizaran con el menor riesgo posible. Con el tiempo fue evolucionando para abarcar la implementación de las diferentes soluciones de negocios que SAP ha ido desarrollando, como por ejemplo mySAP CRM, PLM, SCM, SRM, Enterprise Portals, y otras.
El nombre "AcceleratedSAP" pretende dar a entender la posibilidad de realizar implementaciones en tiempos cortos (por el juego de palabras con "As Soon As Possible"), a diferencia de lo que había estado sucediendo cuando las implementaciones se realizaban sin una metodología estándar, cuando se dibujaban proyectos que abarcaban años de trabajo, sin entregables definidos, dejando sin cubrir las expectativas de los clientes o empresas que adoptaban las soluciones, lo cual generaba un ambiente adverso en los proyectos en cuestión.
Esta se compone de 4 fases, 1) Preparación del proyecto, 2) Planes de negocio o Business Blue Print, 3) Realización o Diseño, 4) Preparación final y 5) Puestaa en producción y soporte.
Phase 1: Project Preparation - The purpose of this phase is to provide initial planning and preparation for your SAP project.
Phase 2: Business Blueprint - The purpose of this phase is to achieve a common understanding of how the company intends to run its business within the SAP System. The result is the Business Blueprint, a detailed documentation of the results gathered during requirements workshops. The Business Blueprint document represents the business process requirements of the company. It is the agreed statement of how the company intends to run its business within the SAP System.
Phase 3: Realization - The purpose of this phase is to implement all the business process requirements based on the Business Blueprint. The system configuration methodology is provided in two work packages: Baseline (major scope); and Final configuration (remaining scope).
Phase 4: Final Preparation - The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation (including testing, end user training, system management and cutover activities) to finalize your readiness to go live. The Final Preparation phase also serves to resolve all critical open issues. On successful completion of this phase, you are ready to run your business in your live SAP System.
Phase 5: Go Live & Support - The purpose of this phase is to move from a project-oriented, pre-production environment to live production operation.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

The individual phases of the ASAP Implementation Roadmap are:
1. Project Preparation - project formally initiated and planning well under way.
2. Business Blueprint - project team gathers requirements and conducts conceptual
design of the solution.
3. Realization - system solution built and integration tested, end users trained
4. Final Preparation - authorization to cut over to new system solution
5. Go Live and Support - solution confirmation and project closure

31. Project Preparation
The purpose of this phase is to provide initial planning and preparation for your SAP project.
Although each SAP project has its own unique objectives, scope, and priorities; the steps in
Phase 1 help you to identify and plan the primary focus areas that need to be considered.
Mohsen Riastian, Samehara Page 31
32. Business Blueprint
The purpose of this phase is to create the Business Blueprint, which is detailed
documentation of the results gathered during requirements workshops. Furthermore,
the Business Blueprint documents the business process requirements of the company.
With this, you can better understand how the company intends to run its business
within the SAP System
Mohsen Riastian, Samehara Page 32
33. Realization
The purpose of this phase is to implement business and process requirements based on
the Business Blueprint. The objectives are final implementation in the system, an overall
test, and the release of the system for production (live) operation. In addition, the project
team receives relevant knowledge.
Mohsen Riastian, Samehara Page 33
34. Final Preparation
The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation (including testing, end user
training, system management and cut-over activities), to finalize your readiness to go live.
The Final Preparation phase also serves to resolve all crucial open issues. On successful
completion of this phase, you are ready to run your business in your live SAP System.
35. Go Live and Support
The purpose of this phase is to cut over to live productive operation and to
continuously support and improve live operations
