SAP INFO Magazine
I subscribed SAP INFO magazine for a while ago, so it just came two days ago. It is free you can subscribe SAP INFO print edition immediately. It has a website called sap.info, but all articles don’t be published online so it is better to subscribe print edition.
SAP INFO is a good magazine which gives you ideas and trends about what is going on in SAP community. Bernhard Hochlehnert, Editor-in-Chief SAP INFO, says
SAP INFO’s ultimate goal is to provide information that is useful to the worldwide SAP community. To achieve this goal we would like to get you involved.
By submitting articles to SAP INFO you can also contribute to extending the SAP-community’s knowledge base. It is great exposure, too, for you and your company. Please let us know about your ideas in a few sentences. We will come back to you to discuss possible topics further.
