Using Your Influence – How to Turn Your Ideas into Real Product Improvements

Make BusinessObjects Great Again - Red Hat Meme

Make BusinessObjects Great Again

SAP has a Customer Influence portal where ideas and suggestions can be submitted to enhance its products. These ideas are seen by other SAP customers, who can cast one vote on behalf of their organization. Currently, there are over 250 open influence opportunities. Two of these opportunities are for SAP BusinessObjects. Ideas for the SAP BusinessObjects portfolio are reviewed by the BusinessObjects product teams world-wide, including the Web Intelligence product team in Paris, France.

You can watch both of the Influence Opportunity Lists and receive email notifications whenever a new idea is posted. You’ll also get email for any idea you care to watch or support with a vote.

NOTE: There is an open Crystal Reports campaign where you can vote on existing ideas; however, new ideas for Crystal Reports should be added to the BI Platform campaign.
