Mao's heirs show foresight

Today's China is a big step ahead of the rest of the world in this respect, while the western world is only just starting to think outside the box with predictive analytics and maintenance.

An example? The past World Cup was full of advertisements with Chinese characters. A mistake? An oversight? Who could read these characters, who knew the company names and logos?

The solution: It was decided to build up a soccer scene in China, develop enthusiasm for the sport and then one day host the World Cup in their own country. A bold plan.

For the domestic and global audience, the first milestone has now been cleverly set with Chinese advertising messages. Don't wait, act, seems to be the motto.

Many existing SAP customers, including the DSAG user association, have waited too long with regard to the "indirect use" license issue. The playing field was left to SAP, which dictated the license conditions at will.

Time to set a milestone and fight back. Specialist lawyers and licensing experts from the SAP community will provide the tools at a workshop in Heidelberg on September 18, 2018.

The goal is educational work to prevent a cultural revolution. The aim is to shape a Hana and S/4 future with foresight and license know-how.
