SAP DEVELOPER NETWORK NEWSLETTER | | | | | | Letter from the Editor: A New SCN Is On Its Way!
Straight from the excitement at SAP TechEd Bangalore 2011, we're launching into the final, exciting phases of modernizing the SAP Community Network (SCN) on a new platform that better supports the "social" aspects of social networking for connections to other member experts, organizes the content structure for ease-of-discovery and consumption, introduces cool new tools for inviting and engaging collaboration, and much more.
In the coming weeks, you can expect to see: | | | | • | | Social capabilities. Follow people, see enhanced user profiles, and find greater emphasis on the SCN members, experts, and SAP Mentors who drive conversations. For more details, read The Right Content to the Right Person at the Right Time.
| | | • | | Ease of use. About 30,000 new members join SCN each month, making the complexity of the "old" SCN platform a barrier to adoption and use. Also, as we seek to reach new audiences – some of whom are business people, less technical, and therefore daunted by the complexity of the old system – the simplicity and intuitiveness of the new platform will help us serve and include them. Read Migrating SCN Blog Functionality to learn how blog-posting will be easier.
| | | • | | Better integration, better organization. We've aligned our content with SAP.com so there's an easier, more fluid and consistent user experience across the board.
| | | • | | Modern features. SCN members want videos, content delivered on their mobile devices, plus access to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube. That's why we're aiming for a Better, Stronger, Faster SAP Community Network ... Coming Soon on a New, Modern Platform.
|
Get the full scoop on what's coming by reading related blogs, such as Behind the Scenes of the New SCN, or a recent article in SAP.info, which discusses our new capabilities. Finally, check out the "Tip in a Minute" series for instant insights on how to use the new features.
The waiting is almost over; we are anxious to unveil the new, modern SCN, and other members are anxious to start using it. We feel confident you'll find SCN an improved, exciting, dynamic place to be in the coming weeks!
Sincerely,
Mark Yolton
Senior Vice President of SAP Community Network
