Hello Bulgaria!

Not often one gets to say that – but we do! Last week we were privileged to travel to Sofia, Bulgaria to visit SAP Labs. SAP’s offices there handle much of the development work for the HANA Cloud Platform (HCP). We were invited to the Lab along with others from the SAP Partner Advisory Council for Innovation (of which Macromicro is a member) and the Customer Advisory Council for Innovation.

Over the course of three intense days, we were able to to get an insight into much of the important work being done by SAP Labs Bulgaria on HCP, undertake a Design Thinking training course with SAP instructors, conduct the Innovation Council by bi-annual meeting and conduct invaluable networking. The experience was exceptional, from the warm reception given by SAP Bulgaria to the content and training provided over our three-day stay.

traveledFor those of you who have not travelled to a country off the beaten path such as Bulgaria – we would highly recommend it from our stay there. Sofia has a number of charms, the food is good and the Bulgarians are very welcoming. Thank you SAP Bulgaria.

Thanks for a great SuccessConnect 2016!

For those in the SAP SuccessFactors ecosystem, last week was all about SuccessConnect2016 in Las Vegas. From Monday through Thursday the Venetian was a beehive of activity bringing together over 4000 attendees to discover what is now possible with SuccessFactors.

We were one of the many SAP partners with a show presence, and had the opportunity to highlight our work through a number of presentations. First, at a special Partners Briefing Session to discuss some of the many advantages of developing an Extension for SuccessFactors and working on the HANA Cloud Platform, and second to a crowd of invite only SAP customers who had come to learn more about the many ways to extend SuccessFactors through offerings like Macromciro OrgInsight.

One of the driving themes of this year’s show was diversity and inclusiveness in HR. This was a message driven from the top down from SAP President Bill McDermott to SuccessFactors President Mike Ettling and SAP North America President Jennifer Morgan. It’s also one of our core use cases, as understanding the distribution of employees across hierarchy, or cross cut by attribute is exactly what we do!

Join us at SuccessConnect 2016

The biggest SuccessFactors event of the year is happening August 29-31 at the Venetian in Las Vegas. Join us at SuccessConnect 2016 for a fresh new look at what is possible with HANA Cloud Platform extensions for SuccessFactors.

Come see us at pod C where we will be demonstrating OrgInsight, our certified HCP extension for SuccessFactors. With OrgInsight you get one clear view of all your employees and associated SuccessFactors data for better org charts and workforce insights.

Macromicro, we make award winning visuals that describe scale, structure, hierarchy, and employee composition of large organizations. This year we won the SAP Pinnacle Award for Application Development Partner of the year. To find out how we can create superior workforce visuals for your organization, schedule time with us for a demo.

SAP + Macromicro Run Together

Yes we do. SAP is an important part of what we do here at Macromicro. We are data visualization experts with a focus on human resources. OrgInsight, our workforce mapping and visual analytic application, is at the cutting edge of rich data representation and the culmination of our work. We would not be able to deliver our magic though, without SAP.We really do run together.

As we can stay focused on our area of expertise, the visual interpretation of complex organizations, and leverage SAP HANA for unparalleled in-memory computing, and an industry leading enterprise cloud. Together we can deliver customer workforce data insights with significant value. No matter if the customer is from the SAP ecosystem with SAP HCM / SuccessFactors, or from another vendor such as Workday, Oracle Fusion and others. By running together we deliver a unique award wining solution for workforce insight.

Macromicro at SAPPHIRE 2016

Wow, what a week. From Monday starting with the SAP Partner Summit, then on to the show floor for three days at SAP Sapphire Now, and ending with a Cold Play concert sitting in the 12th row, it was as busy as it gets.Somewhere in there we also managed to collect our SAP Pinnacle Award for Application Partner of the Year!

It was an honor to to be recognized alongside other giants of the IT world (Hewlett Packard, IBM, Accenture to name a few) for our work on SAP HANA Cloud Platform (HCP).As an organization we started our journey with SAP HCP almost two years ago, and we felt confident that we made the right choice to build Macromicro OrgInsight (organizational mapping and analytics) as a native HCP application.

Spending time at Sapphire reaffirmed that we had made the right choice. Everyone at SAP, from Hasso Plattner (Chairman) and Bill McDermott (CEO) on down helped to highlight the future of HANA and the cloud with SAP.

We just won a Pinnacle Award!

Wow. Just Wow. All of us here at Macromicro are honored and excited to have won this year’s SAP Pinnacle award for Application Development Partner of the Year. We are a start-up, and all of us have toiled hard over that past couple years, keeping our heads down concentrating on our product and our customers, so it comes as a huge affirmation of our time and effort spent to win such a prestigious award.

We started our journey with SAP about two years ago, first through the SAP Startup Focus program, then on to PartnerEdge. At each step of the way we know we had the right choice in SAP – and specifically in the HANA Could Platform (HCP) and it’s ecosystem. With HCP we are able to push the boundaries of innovation, by focusing on what we do best, front end visualization of complex data, while leveraging HANA and it’s in-memory capabilities to do the heavy lifting on the back end. We are really excited to be part of the SAP ecosystem and to continue pushing forward with our never ending list of development ideas.

Macromicro will be at SAPInsider's "HR 2016" event

Come see us at SAPInsider HR 2016, held at the Wynn Convention Center February 23-26th.

We will be at booth #825. We will be giving demos of our OrgInsight application running on the HANA Cloud Platform (HCP) and our SucesssFactors connector. Drop by and see us!

Thanks SAP for support at our First TechEd and HRTech!

What a great week for Macromicro in Las Vegas! Believe it or not, Brad and I were there on business for our third time at the HR Tech show and our FIRST time at SAP’s TechEd Show. We were bummed our CDO, Alex could not make it all the way from Doha, Qatar. We certainly missed our CTO, Harri, presence but felt his force by making sure OrgInsight 2.0 on SAP HANA Cloud Platform performed perfectly.

Brad and I didn’t spend much time together as there were lots of opportunities to meet interested folks in Vegas. We had our own booth plus Brad was showcasing OrgInsight at SAP’s SuccessFactors booth as well. Thanks for the support at HR Tech, SAP and SuccessFactors!

Specifically, we were also fortunate enough to be one of two (!) startups that were featured at SAP’s innovation summit at TechEd and one of seven participating at SAP’s TechEd.In fact, I was privileged to participate in a short interview on SAP TechEd’s Live Studio. Hosted by the VP of the Startup Focus Program (SFP) Development Accelerator at SAP Labs, David Sonnenschein, I was joined by fellow SFP members Simon Bain, CEO, SearchYourCloud and Pete Reilly, Sales, Marketing & Implementation, AnswerRocket to discuss “SAP Startup Focus Program: The Journey, The Results”.
