As a member of SAP’s Partner Solution Adoption team with Partner Ecosystem Success, I help SAP SuccessFactors partners around the world to expand their offerings with the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), our innovative platform. This involves running enablement sessions, hackathons, and providing 1:1 coaching to partners on their use cases.

First, check the SAP SuccessFactors roadmap to see if SAP has planned something.
Next, check the SAP Store to see if another partner has published an application for this requirement. In which case, you will discuss directly with the partner how you want to serve the customer
