SAP Plays Games with the Analysts, and the Gamification of the Enterprise Begins
Josh Greenbaum, Posted on February 28, 2011
I went to a preview showing of a new SAP product last week, and had about the most fun
I’ve had an analyst event since….well, if I had more fun than I had at last week’s event, I
can’t remember… That’s because SAP chose to “gamify” the presentation

crowdsourcing principles to reduce the cost of internal

three ways that
Gamification can benefit
the business…

adoption is key to the
ROI of technology

state of end user
adoption…

61. Gamers tend to be more
motivated than non-gamers to be
connected to others, and they
display a higher than average
propensity to interact with brands

62. That‟s cool.
User Adoption creates
business value by
improving ROI and
lowering TCO.
That‟s important stuff for
IT and the business.
63. And gamification impacts
user adoption (by
improving user
engagement).
That will drive ROI and
TCO. That‟s real value.
64. Brand loyalty is related to
customer satisfaction and
retention.
If customers are satisfied
and loyal – this reduces
churn rates.
65. Research shows that SaaS
companies experience
between 8.5% to 60%
churn rates.
If Gamification can reduce
churn rates, that impacts
real dollars.

multiple departments, deadlines and diverse personalities.
