Hi Anton, Dennis and Kieran,
First I wanted to thank both Dennis and Kieran for the answers as they both experienced collaboration workspace (new name for Project Plexus) while we were in the Pilot and were amazing contributors inside and outside of our community.
It is not guerilla marketing. Our project has been in a pilot until Sapphire Orlando and most of the workspaces are private in nature but our official press release is going to happen in an event at the SAP Co-innovation Lab soon.
If you think about co-innovation, you notice the need for private collaboration tools that enforce the legal terms between the companies that are creating the innovation. Collaboration workspace from SAP is such tool. We partnered with Jive Software who created a great individual contributor collaboration solution called Clearspace Community and we added the enterprise membership awareness on top of it with the help of our partners Adobe, Intelligroup, Enthiosys and Wipro.
While SDN and BPX offer a public collaboration, collaboration workspace focuses on private collaboration. Whenever the results become public, they get posted on SDN and BPX and whenever a group decides to create a private collaboration, they can do so on collaboration workspace.
When you go to our website http://plexus.sap.com you will see what you can do with the ES Community, IVN, COIL and BPX. But right now most of the groups in there are private and available through invitation only.
Please feel free to ask questions in the http://plexus.sap.com/community/gettingstarted and our community will be able to provide you more insights.
Best,
Andre
