Our Business Influencer group has focused its mission on building up strong two-way street engagements with thought leaders, influentials, independent advisors, and industry peer group stalwarts who share best practices with entrepreneurs, business owners and managers looking to apply proven tactics. It is seldom that I highlight our own practices within SAP; I prefer that our successes shout out for themselves. 

The mandate of this group has been cited by influentials as a best practice for serving customers in realizing their goals of becoming a best-run business (Paul Greenberg, The 56 Group, and Warrillow Research, have publicly endorsed the practices).  So when it comes to small and mid-sized businesses(SMEs) solutions, SAP is committed to working together with thought leaders and influencers as well as our own spokespeople who are influentials themselves, to become a trusted advisor to SMEs, a thought leader in Web 2.0, and a solution advisor.  But again, it’s the 3rd party validation which enables us to be successful.

One example of this is a newsletter which compiles the thought leadership from business leaders and ways to apply it successfully.  Whether you’re determined to drive sales through better, faster decision making;  looking for a way to develop and communicate your business strategy and increase your odds of success;  striving to keep pace with your business growth, or looking to determine how business processes improve Customer Relations; you will find this useful.  It’s a free subscription to the SAP Business Insights Newsletter specifically for Small Businesses & Midsize Companies. 

The business insights include tactics and solutions from thought leaders and innovators [such as Douglass Tatum, Chairman Emeritus, Tatum Group and author of “No Man’s Land”], and others from across the SAP spectrum of small business experience.  From white papers to webcasts, customer stories to demos, the SAP Business Insights Newsletter has synthesized the information that’s right for small business, and it comes in local language.

A free monthly subscription to the SAP Business Insights Newsletter addresses business needs with featured articles and special offers including the latest news, tips, best practices, firsthand experiences.  And, while small business may be your definition today, you’ll be able to leverage what we offer to Midsize companies tomorrow. The Newsletter for Small Businesses & Midsize Companies provides information covering midsize companies, too.  Enjoy!
