The global and independent platform for the SAP community.

Open Source Booster

In the beginning, Linux was just another platform for SAP R/3 and later ERP/ECC 6.0. In the meantime, Linux is not only the only platform for Hana and S/4, but open source is part of the SAP architecture with a broad offering.

About this understanding of the role of open source in the SAP community and the associated opportunities E-3 Editor-in-Chief Peter Färbinger discussed at the round table with three representatives from Red Hat: Jürgen Sommer, Arne Arnold and Peter Körner provided information about the successful and broad use of open source. The SAP topics ranged from automation and security to GitHub.

The topic of integration, which is so important for existing SAP customers, was covered, as was the still young topic of edge computing. Red Hat is not only one of the most successful companies in the IT scene, but also wants to take on the role of a trusted advisor, especially in the SAP community - a challenging and important task!

Open source is not only characterized by a high degree of innovation, but also by different structures and payment models. Knowledge, experience and trust are required here. On the YouTube page of E-3 channels the comment window is also open so that questions can be asked, which will be answered immediately or in more detail afterwards in the E-3 Magazine February 2022 and on the E-3 online channels.
