Las Vegas 2016 CWG Conference is over... So let's start planning the spring conference... The voting is leaning towards Hamburg at this particular moment..

But I wonder... In Vegas we had around 115 people. On day 1, a question was asked of the audience; "How many people voted for Las Vegas?" I think 5 people raised their hands.. Not sure why this happened, but it does make me wonder about the whole "voting" thing..

Although, I admit... I'd rather do Hamburg than Barcelona... I like German beer better... :)

Dear CWG members,

SAP is working on the S/4HANA app for variant configuration. The design of the new app is still rough, and we would like to get end user feedback right from the beginning, so that we head in the right direction right away. Felix Haeusser and Uwe Betzin would like to validate the current design ideas on day 2 by doing usability tests with end users.

Dear CWG user,

Time is growing short... The October conference in Las Vegas is quickly approaching. Hopefully you have taken advantage of the early bird rate, reserved your hotel rooms, and booked your flights already..

But if not, a little reminder why you may want to consider doing all those things soon.. The CWG Conference is the only place where you can;

Hi,

You would think it is simple to fill a hole in a wall with a window, door, or combinations of these.  What am I talking about?

Well we have just gone live with a VC Project in the Window / Door Industry in Aluminium and Timber.  When I started on this project it required a proof of concept.  Simple enough you would think and to some degree it was.  

Proof of Concepts - important building block

Mystery, Intrigue, Conspiracy, and Comedy…. All were present at the 2016 Berlin CWG Conference..

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".

OK, I'll admit... Beer in Bavaria actually is more enjoyable to me.. But hey, Berlin is a cool town, with a pretty decent craft beer scene. As long as I can stay away from the Linden trees, it's going to be a great conference!!

Yes, this is a shameless plug... I want YOU to get up off your butt and present something!

If you do, there MIGHT be beer in your future...

Hey CWG folks,

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..
