Conclusion

As part of its new digital workspace, SAP Build Work Zone has made it easier for users to access relevant applications, information, and collaboration features – anywhere and anytime.

At Blueprint Technologies, we’ve successfully cracked the code for using SAP Build Work Zone to improve employee experiences. As part of SAP’s Partner Innovation Challenge, we launched the Blueprint Enterprise Alumni Portal ( B.E.A.P ) initiative to help ex-employees access vital resources without going through complex interactions with HR and other personnel.

Taking a human-centric approach, we aimed to rethink & redesign former employee experiences to a centralized Alumni Experience Program to help ex-employees stay connected with their peer network and build lasting relationships.

With B.E.A.P., users only need their authentication credentials for a one-time login that will launch a centralized portal for accessing work-related documents (experience documents, IT clearance, F&F settlements, etc.), career opportunities, applications or referrals, learning programs, and the latest events & updates.

B.E.A.P is a one-stop solution for ex-employees seeking learning, sales, and re-hiring opportunities. It improves employee engagement & experience to redefine alumni-company relationships for the better.


This is just one example showcasing the potential of the SAP Build Work Zone. With an incredible potential to combine collaboration, content, data, and applications, this powerful fusion creates cross-divisional use cases and fosters exciting opportunities across functional teams, projects, and external partners.

From providing an intuitive user experience to facilitating process integration and improving efficiency, SAP Build Work Zone is the solution for businesses looking to create effective and personalized digital workplaces.
