2. Old Saga
• SAP Inside Track grew out of the SDN Day which was a day before
SAP TechEd the premier SAP Technical conference that SAP runs
every year
• SDN Day was called Community Day but after deciding that was a little
bit hard to sell to managers authorizing time off projects we chose the
name “Inside Track” and there is now a proliferation of events being
organized by real SAP grass roots people in cities all around the World
