2. Introduction What is the process? Why co-innovate with SAP?
The purpose of the co-innovation program is for you, as a SAP Partner to develop your solution supported by SAP. We call it a co-innovation project, but it could as well be described as a proof of concept or a pilot. Prior to committing to a co- innovation project we offer so called “Power Weeks”, which are 3-5 day workshops with the purpose to prepare partners that have use cases suitable for a specific SAP technology to build their innovative solution. Seats at these event are reserved for only committed partners with a well defined solution proposal using this template.
If the scope of your solution goes beyond a 3 month development cycle we will together try and scope the most meaningful subset of the solution as these co- innovation projects typically runs for 3 months.
Upon receipt of your use case template we will schedule a qualification call for us to discuss your proposal in more detail as this template will only provide the basic information – this will also allow us to elaborate on the program and give you an opportunity to ask any questions you might have. Next steps will be agreed as an outcome of the call.
Please fill in the template with all the required information. You are encouraged to include additional documents that you might already have that describes your proposed solution in more detail.
Why co-innovate with SAP?
A solution idea might look great on paper but:
Does SAP already have, or plan to release, something similar?
Is it technically feasible?
What is the best architecture to realize this?
Will it solve the expected business pains in a simple and accelerated way?
Will it be well received by customers?
Bring your idea to life with SAP and get answers to these questions and more, obtaining an accelerated development cycle and reduce the risk of your investment.
