Welcome to openSAP Invites, I’m your host, Robert Nichols. In this episode, I have a conversation with two guest experts from the SAP SuccessFactors product management team, Jayendra Bisnik and Abishek Suvarna. Jayendra, Abishek and I will talk about a very valuable tool for SAP partners called the package configuration manager. The package configuration manager is a business configuration tool that uses SAP Best Practices and qualified partner packaged solutions to automate many of the standard configurations that are common across customer implementations.
