Among the visitors were two students of the Faculty of Computer Science of the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. In the following, they will report on their experience:

In the course of the SAP University Alliances Programms, we visited the SAP TechEd && d-code. The conference took place from 11th to 13th of November at the Messe Berlin and was meant to address both developers and users. The agenda included workshops and coding sessions for the latest SAP technologies. One particular focus remained on the In-Memory-Technology SAP HANA. In the course of his keynote speech, Bernd Leukert (Chairman SAP SE) presented the SAP Roadmap. In this context, with the help of important guests, case studies were analyzed in which SAP technologies could help companies to improve their processes. After the keynote speech, there were several lectures and workshops in which the visitors could participate. During the breaks, SAP partners presented their services and products at the Showfloor. In addition to giveaways and lotteries, there were also several stalls of interesting discussion partners. Among the highlights of the exhibition was the Celebration Night, during which we were not the only ones to establish several new contacts. Through hands-On technology experiences, networking and the fantastic location, the SAP TechEd && d-code was a tremendous and therefore a full success for us.
