The SAP Ecosystem makes headlines


                  Many businesses can create stickiness by building user communities. Every year, … SAP hosts


“                 conferences where customers can meet with IT experts, software developers, and, most important,
                  each other. These aren’t sales events per se, but you can be sure that attendees leave with a feeling
                  of partnership with SAP.

                  Business Week, September 2008


                  SAP has set the standard — certainly within the tech industry — and offers a good example of the


“                 potential. SAP is one of the leaders in the scale, diversity, and integration of its vast ecosystem.”

The Essential “Strategic Argument” for
 SAP Communities of Innovation

        Business Network Transformation provides competitive differentiation
                      In a fast-changing market, marked by high expectations and requirements
                      With agility, reach, scalable co-innovation
                      From 1:many to many:many and community:community network relationships

        Social networks open-up enterprises to reach across entire ecosystems
                      Web 2.0  Enterprise 2.0  Communities 2.0 …
                      By enabling virtual and physical community collaboration



        SAP orchestrates "communities of innovation" to create value and to share benefits
        across its global ecosystem
                      Faster, broader product adoption with higher customer satisfaction
                      Stronger affiliation to SAP and partners with deeper commitments

                       Risks of Doing It Wrong…
                Disaffected employees and customers have a platform to vent; if no response then the sense that the
                 company doesn't care; need for constant attention
                Can create a negative perception of inauthentic interaction or that there's one-sided benefit (to the
                 company only, not for the customers and partners and other community members)
                Little or no activity can create the sense that the company is irrelevant; community care must be part of
                 a company's DNA, and the community needs to care enough to engage
                Conflicting information if official company positions don't match behaviors or customer experience
                Increased company exposure from a lack of control over information flow … but a red herring as true
                 information control (message management) does not exist
