Is InnerSource inevitable? Danese Cooper has been provocatively asking us this question and, likely, the answer is “Yes”. Even if inevitable, it does not happen overnight.

Looking back at the history of SAP, sharing code, building reusable software and having cross-organizational collaboration are not novelties, but still, we cannot claim, at the present time, that the company has fully embraced InnerSource. That is changing though, and, in this presentation we will bring light to SAP’s journey, looking back at its past but also at the present, on how we are patiently yet persistently driving InnerSource.

We cannot give a definitive answer to Danese’s question, but we will share our learnings, challenges, and latest developments – all we are doing to be sure that InnerSource will be indeed inevitable at SAP.
