SAP University Alliances Community Portal
Description and Benefits
About the new portal

The SAP University Alliances community portal is a new online resource developed as a
global community for collaboration and cooperation, and will replace the Innovation Watch
site.

The portal will facilitate interactions between various constituencies around SAP, IT skills, and
recruitment.

The SAP University Alliances community portal is rolling out in two phases

A collaboration website supporting the services and promoting the value of our traditional
SAP University Alliances program

An expanded collaboration community with additional benefits for member faculty and
students as well as for special community partners and stakeholders.

The portal’s technology platform is based on the same technology supporting the SAP
community network (SCN), where the SAP Developer Network (SDN), Business Process
Expert (BPX), and SAP BusinessObjects communities actively collaborate online.

Faculty and students will have the ability to communicate and participate with the larger SAP
online community of more than 1.5 million users by getting started in the Welcome Center

Using the SAP Portal
There
are two “sides” to the SAP portal: a “public” side and the “private” (members
only) side
The
public side is available to faculty that are not part or have not yet registered for
the UA program, and students.
The
private side is for faculty who are part of the UA.
The
private side contains the curriculum that you will need

also contains areas to ask questions through discussion boards
