ABAP_to_the_Future

The Author
Paul Hardy joined Heidelberg Cement in the UK in 1990.
For the first seven years, he worked as an accountant. In
1997, a global SAP rollout came along; he jumped on
board and has never looked back since. He has worked on
country-specific SAP implementations in the United Kingdom,
Germany, Israel, and Australia.
After starting off as a business analyst configuring the
good old IMG, Paul swiftly moved on to the wonderful
world of ABAP programming. After the initial run of data
conversion programs, ALV reports, inte ractive DYNPRO screens, and (urrggh)
SAPscript forms, he yearned for something more and since then has been eagerly
investigating each new technology as it comes out. Particular areas of interest in
SAP are business workflow, B2B procurem ent (both point to point and Ariba
based), logistics execution, and variant configuration, along with virtually anything
new that comes along.
Paul can regularly be found blogging away on the SCN site and presenting at SAP
conferences in Australia (Mastering SAP Technology and the SAP Australian User
Group annual conference). If you happen to ever be at one of these conferences,
Paul invites you to come and have a dr ink with him at the networking event in
the evening and to ask him the most difficult questions you can think of (preferably
SAP-related).
