Getting Started with the Business Process Expert Community

The growing community network at SAP — which includes SAP Developer Network (SDN), Business Process Expert (BPX) Community, and Business Objects Community (BOC) — has a total membership that exceeds 1.3 million to date. By joining SDN, BPX, or BOC, you'll have access to over one million topic threads that will:

• Provide information and training resources to achieve your goals;
• Give you access to the power of true co-innovation.

The SAP Business Process Expert (BPX) community connects SAP customers, business analysts, consultants, and SAP internal experts. Leveraging Web 2.0 technologies, the community enhances the work lives of all participants — empowering you to share ideas and find solutions related to business process and software implementation challenges.

The BPX community serves as a unique repository for knowledge that focuses on a wide variety of process, implementation, and solution issues. Through forums, Wiki, blogs, articles, and eLearning content, you can access strategically relevant information regarding business processes and the technology solutions that support them. Community projects allow you to connect with other members to prototype end-to-end business process solutions.

Once you begin contributing to the online community, you'll see the benefits of collaborating with your peers in a supportive ecosystem. As you see what's available to you and begin to learn from others in the community, you'll find ways to contribute your own knowledge and expertise. You'll earn points every time you contribute to the forums or blogs.

BPX lets you determine the level of engagement that works for you:

• As a non-member, you have the opportunity to listen and learn from others in the community.
• As a member, you have access to exclusive content, such as eLearning sessions.
• As a Top Contributor who earns 250 points per year, you participate actively in the community.
• As an SAP Mentor, you are a leader in the community who is regularly called upon to share your expertise.

Each level of engagement offers you the chance to build your reputation and boost your profile — not only within SAP, but for your company and customers as well. Potential customers and other members will seek you out for your expertise in a particular area. Check out the recent blog where top contributors were recognized.
