Additional collaboration platform enhancements improve overall performance and collaboration through the addition of ratings and search capabilities.

The Business Process Expert (BPX) community is reportedly an online network that connects the company’s customers, partners and community members by offering a forum and repository for knowledge that focuses on a variety of SAP-related topics.
New additions include the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and SAP Business Suite 7 user communities, where members can post and respond to inquiries, share articles and documents, and write in blogs about their experiences relevant to IFRS and SAP Business Suite 7.
Mark Yolton, senior vice president of community network at SAP, said: SAP’s communities of innovation harness the collective knowledge and power of developers, partners, customers, business process experts and others to help customers maximise their technology investments. The SAP community network provides a trusted and validated environment to exchange ideas, discuss needs and identify solutions for co-innovation that leads to more revenue, growth and value for customers.
