Service-Oriented Architecture Strategies for SAP Solutions
Today we received the new video from Nina Butzke, the enthousiastic person in charge of PR and Marketing at the German Datango AG.
The video shows Datango’s Performance Suite, very easy to use software with which you can create interactive simulations, documentation and support material to support users learning their SAP environment.
There are other software solutions we’ve used to create online SAP help and other training material for SAP end users such as RWD’s uPerform (also known als SPP - SAP Productivity Pak), Global Knowledge’s OnDemand and Assima, but Datango’s product is something to keep a close eye on.
We saw a demo during one of the SAP User Group meetings. What struck us the most is Datango’s way of storing recorded data in a database. After recording simulations, data can be manipulated to create plant/country specific data variants. These data variants are used as input for automatically generated new simulations in SAP, only this time the result is customized for those other plants/countries. This enables getting out online help/training material in other languages with very little effort compared to the traditional alternatives. As you probably know localized help/training material is quite often required when a company starts rolling out SAP to their foreign branches. Translating would be a tough job for translation companies because of the SAP terminology.
With their powerful suite, Datango currently is breaking into the US and wider international market at record speed, helping companies to quickly and smoothly launch and operate new enterprise applications worldwide. The past fiscal year they had a growth rate of more than 100%

Demir Barlas in the ”The SAP Training Lie“ expresses his concerns about the positioning of third party companies as “authorized” SAP training partner, particularly in India.
SAP’s IDES (Internet Demo and Evaluation System) is a software system that contains several sample companies typifying relevant business processes. It is used for demos, online/classroom training, and presentations. It is meant for potential customers to trial and test software via the Internet and can be downloaded from the SAP Service Marketplace, but you need the corresponding SAP license ( i.e. you need to be a Customer or a Partner).

Writers Nancy Muir (professional author) and Ian Kimbell (Vice President mySAP ERP Strategy at SAP AG) have done a terrific job explaining SAP. The meat is in 350 pages in clear language without fluff and easy to read.
It’s not getting you bogged down into technical details. Instead it gives you an impression of how to place SAP AG’s products in the business environment, what SAP’s product strategy is, which products there are and for which type of business. Continue reading »
