Kepler’s and SAP

Kepler’s has been partnering with the multinational software company SAP since 2019. As a public forum for celebrated writers, artists, and original thinkers, Kepler's brings its experience with engaging audiences in profound discussions to the SAP Institute for Product and Engineering as part of the Institute's curriculum. The first presenter in the Kepler’s series was Leslie Berlin, Project Historian for the Silicon Valley Archives at Stanford University, and other notable authors have since spoken at SAP including Dave Eggers, John Markoff, Prof. Alvin Roth, Jaron Lanier, Stephen Witt, Dr. Lerone A. Martin and Tamim Ansary.

About the SAP Program

The SAP Institute’s program is a six month immersive experience for SAP engineering employees around the world. Cohorts of selected engineers meet in San Ramon for two months of training. They then return to their home locations for three months of project work and community activities, returning to Silicon Valley for a final month of training.

V.R. Ferose is the founder of SAP’s Academy, and he is keen for the Academy's curriculum to focus on developing expertise in SAP technologies while also encouraging engineers to exercise courage, curiosity, community, compassion, and a worldview that integrates technology with humanities and business topics.
