The third cycle of the 2023 SAP Customer Engagement Initiative (CEI) is in full swing. The SAP Customer Engagement Initiative enables you as an SAP customer or partner, to get early insights into SAP’s product developments and directly work with the developers to define and shape future product directions. There has been a tremendous response in terms of customer registrations for different projects.

This is a specific call for partners to go through the projects and register to influence SAP products/applications.

SAP works closely with many partners to build and innovate. This time we have a few projects that are primarily seeking partners to influence their development. Also, there are a few projects open for partners.

The projects will be open for registration until November 10, 2023.

Those are the projects that are explicitly looking for registrations from SAP Partners:
