SAP Mentor
 

The Mentors’ website defines …

The SAP Mentor Initiative identifies and provides special status to exceptional and high-value members of our SAP Developer Network (SDN) and Business Process Expert (BPX) communities.

SAP Mentors are role models who differentiate themselves through the high quality and frequency of their community contributions, their perspectives, attitudes, and interaction styles. They are subject-matter experts who are passionate about SAP and share their opinions and insights with the community.

It’s truely an honor to be named along with such an extraordinary group of people, some of the brightest brains in the SAP world …. like Marilyn Pratt, Dennis Hewlett, Anne Petteroe, Dick Hirsch, Darren Hague, Michael Bechauf, Craig Cmehil, Ed Herrmann, Thomas Jung, Dan McWeeney, Blag, Abesh (the list goes on …) a mere conversation with some of these people has the potential of blowing your brains out … I deeply respect all of them, so I’m humbled, I’ve been given such a great opportunity to learn.

I also see this as an excellent opportunity to evangelize and promote RIAs in the enterprise, I strongly believe that enterprise applications can gain a lot by adopting RIA ideologies, so I look forward to mangling together my experiences in the Adobe and SAP worlds.
