Desired Outcome
SAP, as a global leader in enterprise application software, is looking for innovative and extraordinary approaches for digital mobile B2B software solutions.

Step 1: Solution Concepts
In the qualification phase you should analyze customer needs and enrich them with your experience, knowledge, creativity, and wishes for a future-proof mobile B2B solution. You could do research or surveys to identify customers pain and gain points. Be creative and think out of the box! For further input look at the tab 'Important Details' where you can find 'Questions for Inspiration'. You already have concrete ideas and solutions? Obviously, you can submit them as well and elaborate on them further, after the SAP interviews and during the elaboration phase.

Step 2: Elaboration of Your Ideas - Prototypes
If you pass the qualification and the interview phase and advance to the elaboration phase, you should then elaborate concrete software solutions. Based on your submissions and with the feedback from SAP which you receive during the interviews, you have more time to finalize your ideas and take them to a second level: The concrete development of high-fidelity prototypes like a click through video, mockup, or tangible and close to reality, approaches. A real complete code-based prototype is welcome but no needed.
