Swiss SAP Digital Supply Chain Focus Weeks: 3'300 participants, 15 reference customers, 11 partners in 7 weeks - THANK YOU!

Dear supply chain community

Over the past seven weeks, SAP Switzerland Inc. had the great pleasure to host a series of seven virtual sessions with highly innovative customers, extremely knowledgeable speakers and business partners on digital supply chain - from design to operate (D2O)! As sponsor of the #Swiss Digital Supply Chain Focus Weeks, I strongly believe in the power of knowledge transfer within your industries, but as well thinking outside the box by applying techniques and approaches out of your industry in order to drive tangible business value! Today's supply chains are heavily affected by disorders, changing customer behaviors and changing regulations put a tremendous pressure on supply chain leaders, therefore it was important to me to organize these sessions in order to show potential ways of dealing with tricky situations and business challenges.

Due to COVID and the current circumstances, we managed to bring our on-site event in Berne to a fully digitized webinar series with the help of our amazing marketing colleagues, our business partners and customers. This showed me once more again, how important our entire ecosystem and the long-lasting relationships to our Swiss Customers is. I'd really like to thank each and everyone for their tireless efforts!

I quickly wanted to take the time to reflect the highly successful outcome of the sessions and the great feedbacks received by various customers. What were the key highlights?
