Going forward in the next weeks, we'll be opening that up and bringing this new solution to market in November. We'll then be using a new open community to get feedback on the first release and to collect from customers, partners and experts for the next development cycle. You'll also see a blog on this particular topic, talking about the new templates, what they cover and what customers can expect to find.

There will be nine different templates there in total, covering different areas of manufacturing execution and management, as well as manufacturing performance areas from manufacturing autolift to shift books to work instruction to material identification templates. You can find out a lot more about those particular areas, how to get a hold of them, where they'll be delivered. They will be delivered via the SDN Community, and you'll also find a wiki to provide a few more documents for further learning.

We'll also be using the BPX forum area to answer any questions you may have, so you'll see threads coming out there with questions about the coverage of the release and questions from partners, customers and our answers.

Reed: As we are taping this podcast, there are some new areas are coming out within Chemicals at BPX. Do you have any more future plans you'd like to share with us in the mid-market or any other areas?

Bernzen: In the mid-markets, we have a series of knowledge transfer sessions that are scheduled in the next weeks all the way through to November. We have eight knowledge transfer sessions in total, covering an overview of our offerings for the mid-market and then doing a deep dive into certain areas: manufacturing, compliance, the tools we have for implementation. These are all recorded sessions that will be put into the BPX wiki. You can find the presentation we'll be giving, as well as the recording, and get some deeper knowledge on the different areas of our package business all in one with the Best Practices for Chemicals.

Other areas beyond the areas that I work on are sustainability, energy management, reach, and so forth - all very hot topics today where there are constantly new blogs and information, especially with regard to new releases. There's a new release of reach coming out, so you will see information on what that new release covers, our partners supporting the implementation, and so forth.

Reed: Well, Natalie, we've touched on a number of topics in the podcast. As we close out, is there anything else you want to add that we haven't talked about regarding the Chemicals at BPX community?

Bernzen: Not specifically. For people that haven't been to the BPX for Chemicals until now, we do recommend you go to the Knowledge Center, which is on our home page for BPX for Chemicals. We have two areas there: one is Getting Started and one is Welcome to BPX for Chemicals. They give you a good insight into the sort of information you can expect to find and where to find it. We invite you to take a look at that.

Reed: Thanks for taking the time today to give us that informative view of the developments going on. Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate, and I look forward to seeing how it rolls out.

Before we sign off, I'd like to thank our listeners and make sure you know how to get further involved with the Chemicals at BPX community. If you're not yet registered with SAP's online communities, you can register for the SAP Developer Network and the BPX Community and Business Objects Community all at the same time. If you've already signed up for one of the communities, but you haven't signed up for SAP/BPX yet, you can simply update your profile and check off the BPX Community on your member information.

The Chemicals at BPX community can be found by clicking on the industries menu on the left hand side of the SAP/BPX web site, then click the manufacturing industries sub-menu and select Chemicals.

I'd like to thank our listeners for joining us today for this BPX Community podcast. With that, this is Jon Reed of JonERP.com and we'll see you soon at bpx.sap.com.

"Jon, you are definitely spot on with your analysis of the SAP market. I've been using your websites for over five years now. Instead of buying all the SAP books, I use your stuff to catch up with what's new in the ever-increasing SAP market." - Mark

JonERP.com Reader Feedback

"I've kept up with your JonERP.com site for a long time and your articles via SearchSAP.com and elsewhere. I just realized a few months ago that you were also the author of the first SAP Consulting book that I read when I decided to take the leap from working at a Utility company to becoming an SAP Consultant. The SAP Consultant Handbook is a staple for any SAP consultant, new or experienced. I just wanted to thank you for the quality work."
