SAP® TechEd ’06 Sets Sights on Bangalore

SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced that the SAP® TechEd ’06 conference makes its final stop on November 8 in Bangalore, India. Over the last two months, more than 15,000 software developers, business process experts, consultants, IT managers and SAP partners from throughout the SAP ecosystem have participated in the various SAP TechEd ’06 conferences around the globe to deepen their knowledge and build relationships. The event theme, “Empowering an Ecosystem of Innovation,” reiterates SAP’s commitment to execute on its enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA) road map and to foster co-innovation across its customer base, partner organizations and SAP itself. Numerous events are designed to empower the more than 3,300 participants expected in Bangalore.

In-depth lectures and hands-on workshops cover a wide range of technical and business topics. A major focus of the 350 hours of educational sessions is on enterprise SOA and SAP NetWeaver®, the open, standards-based platform for modeling, developing and implementing state-of-the-art business processes. Further topics include analytics, custom Java EE 5 development and mySAP™ ERP 2005 as the “go to” release for SAP® R/3® customers. SAP TechEd ’06 Bangalore also features a keynote presentation by Claus E. Heinrich member of the executive board, SAP AG, on SAP’s product strategy and how the company continues to focus on furthering innovation and simplifying solution consumption.

“SAP TechEd provides an excellent opportunity for industry experts, customers and partners to engage in the process of mutual exchange, collaboration and education that is essential for an ecosystem to drive innovation in the industry,” said Heinrich. “SAP is committed to building, nurturing and supporting a broad ecosystem of partners around its solutions and welcomes customers and partners from around the world to bring their experience and offerings to the table in Bangalore.”

In addition to the official SAP TechEd ’06 agenda, further activities in Bangalore are designed to empower the thousands of SAP developers, consultants, partners, enterprise architects and business process experts in attendance. These activities include Demo Jam and the SAP Developer Network Day, which combines last year’s successful “SDN Meets Labs” events with the SDN Clubhouse, blending the SDN virtual online community (at http://sdn.sap.com) with live and in-person events to create a real-world SDN experience for conference delegates.
