SAP Competition for Students



 
THE COMPETITION
In 2012 SAP University Alliances will be hosting an exciting new competition in collaboration with the 2012 European 2012 Football Championships. Students can make use of the actual results of the football championships combined with a free download of the Crystal Dashboard design software from the University Alliances Community.
Students at universities in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) are invited to participate in this competition. Each participating team is to develop a dashboard using SAP Crystal Dashboard Design to display and analyse the results of the games throughout the Euro 2012 competition. Each week a new version of the results from the competition will be uploaded here for students to download in Excel format. Students can then build, week on week through the competition, their dashboards in Crystal Dashboard Design.
Each team's dashboard will be judged on its usefulness, usability, data quality and presentation, subject to the terms and conditions below.

RECOGNITION OPPORTUNITIES
The top three student teams will make it through to our finals and win a valuable prize from SAP. The final overall winner will be judged by our panel of design experts and crowned overall Best Dashboard Design for the University Alliances program, EMEA, 2012.
