SAP Developer Network

The growing community network at SAP — which includes SAP Developer Network (SDN), Business Process Expert (BPX) Community, and Business Objects Community (BOC) — has a total membership that exceeds 1.3 million to date. By joining SDN, BPX, or BOC, you'll have access to over one million topic threads that will:

  • Provide information and training resources to achieve your goals;
  • Give you access to the power of true co-innovation.

The SAP Developer Network (SDN) offers deep technical content and expertise for SAP developers, analysts, consultants, and administrators on SAP NetWeaver. SDN members enjoy a robust collection of technical content on a range of SAP topics including: expert blogs, technical articles, white papers, how-to guides, moderated forums, software downloads, an extensive eLearning catalog, and a Wiki that supports open communication.

And the more you participate, the more you will be rewarded in the SDN Contributor Recognition Program. Once you begin contributing, you'll see the benefits of collaborating with your peers. You'll also find ways to contribute your own knowledge and expertise, heightening your reputation and recognition within the community. Plus, you'll earn points every time you contribute to the forums or blogs. You can determine the level of engagement that works for you.

  • As a non-member, you have the opportunity to listen and learn from others in the community.
  • As a member, you have access to exclusive content, such as eLearning sessions. SDN members have access to SAP portals and systems via Single Sign On. You can also sign up to receive a bi-weekly SDN Newsletter.
  • As a Top Contributor who earns 250 points per year, you participate actively in the community.
  • As an SAP Mentor, you are a leader in the community who is regularly called upon to share your expertise.

Each level of engagement offers you the chance to build your reputation and boost your profile - not only within SAP, but for your company and customers as well. Potential customers and other members will seek you out for your expertise in a particular area. Check out the recent blog where top contributors were recognized.
