Demo Jam

Awesome Service Notification Management (Intel/IGT/Genentech)

Brian O'Neill, IGT
Ashish Singh, Genentech

This application created using the Sybase Unwired Platform (SUP) allows users to look up and create service notifications in their SAP systems. What makes our application awesome is that we were able to take advantage of mobile features such as using Google Maps to find a current GPS location and use it to determine functional location when creating a new service notification. Additionally, we use Google Maps to find the location and get directions to existing service notifications. Since we used SUP, the same application is fully functional on multiple device types.

This demo shows the ability to pass existing HANA SQL Scripts stored in classical ECC (4.6+) or dynamically created HANA SQL Scripts, and execute them on an SAP HANA appliance (or any other SAP HANA system that supports a JDBC connection) without upgrading SAP ECC and without introducing any additional server or Java stack to the customer landscape. The executing results will also be returned back to ERP/ABAP stack for the use of further business processes. This demo showcases a simple program which passes a simple SQL statement from single SAP HANA database tables triggered from ABAP code with results back to SAP ECC stored in the shared memory area of the same application server where the triggering program resides.

The demo starts with a brief description of the typical patient workflow and documentation tasks in an industrial medical clinic.

The presenter uses ChartBase application, created using Sybase PowerBuilder and SQL Anywhere, to create an image map. Starting with a user-supplied diagram of the human body, he maps various areas of the diagram to various keywords representing body regions and conditions.

The presenter illustrates the use of the image map in a clinical scenario. While documenting a patient encounter, the presenter invokes a diagram of the human body and then clicks or drags the cursor over various areas of the diagram and is provided with keywords that match the selected areas. The presenter then selects one or more keywords by checking the boxes next to them. The application uses the selected keywords to query a table of diagnostic codes, returning the codes and descriptions that match the selected keywords.

Winner:
InnoBoard

InnoBoard transforms any whiteboard or wall into an electronic whiteboard by using a smartphone and a projector. The technology enables participants to collaborate from different locations and brainstorm ideas. InnoBoard captures content from a meeting and helps participants collaborate on ideas. Because it's integrated with SAP StreamWork, users can save and access the results after a meeting.

Using WebDynpro Page Builder, the invoice entry UI is modified to include “chips,” enhancing the invoice application with game mechanics provided by a third-party gamification platform as a service (Nitro platform from Bunchball). The third-party gamification platform is used for managing users, points, levels, rewards, notifications, actions, and challenges. The new UI element uses JavaScript and REST [representational state transfer] services to communicate in real time with the gaming platform. Additionally the UI enables users to ask and answer questions during data entry thanks to integration with SAP StreamWork using OpenSocial API.

This demo shows a day in the life of Chris, an accounts payable (AP) clerk. We see the data entry for an AP invoice in SAP ERP, but this time with gamification mechanics. Chris is a member of the West Coast data entry team, which is losing to the East Coast team in the monthly competition. The winning team of each monthly competition chooses a charity to which the company makes a monthly donation. To win the competition, Paul spontaneously challenges  his team members to kick up their productivity – and offers a prize of his own.

While entering invoices Chris can see that scores are updated immediately (including her own score in Paul's daily challenge and her team's score in the monthly competition). Chris runs into a problem when entering an invoice, so she turns to the department’s social forum to ask for help. After she receives a satisfactory answer from Paul, Chris is prompted by the gamified app to award some of her "karma" points to Paul for answering her question. After she finishes entering the invoice, Chris sees that her team has won the monthly team competition and that she has won Paul's daily challenge. Now she can think about which charity her team will pick to receive the company's donation, and as the winner of the daily challenge, claims her prize from Paul.

Ingrid Bernaudin, SAP
Charles Wilson, SAP

Ingrid is at Demo Jam, without a clue as to how to win. But she definitely has a great team, both here and around the world. Charles presents BrainWave, a new micro app that the team developed during its technology group innovation, Friday's (or TGIF). Inviting other co-workers to help Ingrid, the team holds a brainstorming session to enter all ideas that they are able to think of to win Demo Jam. They vote on the ideas and ultimately chose Ingrid’s idea: bring beer to help sway the jury. Ingrid is assigned this as her action item, which she does on the spot. In the end, this is not just about beer and BrainWave, it's about the ability to easily and quickly create collaborative mobile micro apps based on SAP StreamWork.
