SAP + Bitcoin = SAP CoInnovation Program

[Narydu]

Hi,

I´m the owner of the only College/University in Argentina teaching SAP in the Business Administration carreer as part of the SAP University Alliance. This is very relevant to SAP Latin América given we are a spanish success story and so we were invited to become the first SAP UA Elite local member.

Recently SAP asked us to participate in the CoInnovation program in which SAP+UNIVERSITY+COMPANY work together on a specific innovative implementation based on SAP. We sugested to work a sollution for using Bitcoin as a virtual currency payment system and they loved the idea.

So here we are... if you work in a company that uses SAP in SD, FI, CO, or HCM please contact me and we will study possible implementations. There is no need to compromise the company itself but we do will need some real data to process.

My college is called CESYT
http://www.cesyteducacion.net/administracion (we are actually changing the web, this is more a landing page).
By the way, as long as I know, we are also the only college in the world accepting Bitcoins for paying in full carreers of BA, MKT, Tourism and Cullinary Arts since 2013.

Very interesting.  You might have to get creative if you hope to get a SAP client company to hand over data, especially for a cryptocurrency project.  You could probably get everything you want and more from a good SAP analyst.

FYI, SAP's CIO comments on BTC from http://blogs.wsj.com/cio/2013/04/08/cios-watching-bitcoin-evolution/:
Oliver Bussmann, CIO of German software giant SAP AG , said banks will naturally pay increasing attention as the currency grows in popularity and interest, especially if it emerges as a true alternative to regulated markets under the authority of central banks. “It shows that even very mature industries can utilize innovations to generate more opportunities. What you see here is a fast-moving business and disruptive innovation coming into a very mature, organized industry,” he said during a phone interview.
