Supercharged Local Open Source Joule for Consultants: Search Your Data & Code

This post is a mirrored copy of my LinkedIn article, kept here so it remains searchable and independent from external platforms. You can still find the original on LinkedIn: LinkedIn Pulse article. Joule for Consultants costs 250 € and mainly searches SAP Help, SAP Community and SAP for Me (Notes). That is useful, but it stops where real projects start: your own systems, codebase and sensitive data. Even though public assistants like ChatGPT and Claude can already reach SAP Help and SAP Community, the real gap is internal/authenticated data and code. ...

Engagement in Free-Fall: Why SAP Community Blogs Struggle to Be Seen

This post is a mirrored copy of my LinkedIn article, kept here so it remains searchable and independent from external platforms. You can still find the original on LinkedIn: LinkedIn Pulse article. Back in April 2024 I opened this little series with From Open Exchange to Corporate Monologue, followed in August by SAP Community in Decline and, just before Christmas, the GPT-assisted look at question quality. Twelve months, two platform releases and several batch-downloads later it is time for round four - this time with a split focus: ...

Has the Quality of SAP Community Questions Gotten Worse? A Data-Driven Perspective

This post is a mirrored copy of my LinkedIn article, kept here so it remains searchable and independent from external platforms. You can still find the original on LinkedIn: LinkedIn Pulse article. The SAP Community is and will remain the central point of entry for all issues and discussions relating to SAP. Over the past few years (and since the migration at the beginning of the year) I have had a feeling that the quality of questions in the technology area (the area I follow most closely) has gradually declined. ...

SAP Community in Decline: Engagement Continues to Fall with Little Investment

This post is a mirrored copy of my LinkedIn article, kept here so it remains searchable and independent from external platforms. You can still find the original on LinkedIn: LinkedIn Pulse article. Half a year after the major migration, it’s time to publish the latest figures and uncover any hidden insights in the data. So, what’s new? The trend from the past few months (or even years) has continued. More significant members of the community are moving away from Twitter, which was once a vital medium of exchange (and where I got my start). ...

From Open Exchange to Corporate Monologue: The Transformation of SAP’s Community

This post is a mirrored copy of my LinkedIn article, kept here so it remains searchable and independent from external platforms. You can still find the original on LinkedIn: LinkedIn Pulse article. The SAP community has had to overcome many challenges recently. The central exchange, especially for developers, Twitter has become an increasingly toxic platform and many long-time members have stopped using it or have switched to alternatives. Twitter was also one of my first ports of call and helped me a lot. There are still some, but it’s getting noticeably less. ...

Ich habe mal ein Bild von unseren Hühnern auf Bluesky geteilt und seit dem bin ich schon ein paar mal darauf angesprochen worden. Deswegen wollte ich hier aufschreiben wir wir zu den Hühner gekommen sind und welche Probleme man damit haben kann. Ich bin in einem kleinen Dorf aufgewachsen und war in den letzen 15 jahren viel unterwegs in der Welt. Es war immer schon der Plan wieder zurückzukommen, am liebsten mit einem Haus mit viel Grund und Platz. Im Jahr 2024 hatten wir ein Haus gefunden, haben es gekauft und sind eingezogen. Der große Plan ist “viele Tiere” aber natürlich müssen wir auch Zeit und Platz dafür haben. Dafür sind Hühner eigentlich am besten geeignet den diese sind pflegeleicht. Außerdem haben wir ein kleines Nebenhaus das von früheren Besitzern für Papagieen genutzt wurde. Also perfekt geeignet mit nur minmalen Umbauten. ...
