Bangalore: Dr. Vishal Sikka, member of the SAP Executive Board, Technology and Innovation Platform, announced the availability of ChariTra, an on-demand network built on SAP HANA platform at SAP TechEd on October 19.
ChariTra connects volunteers, non-profits and corporations to work together towards causes and make a difference in their communities. It enables non-profit organizations to post their resource needs to a large community of people who want to help make a difference and to mobilize volunteers and resources toward a specific activity.
It allows individuals and corporations to easily find causes that they want to support, connect with non-profit organizations and other like-minded individuals, and share their experiences and outcomes with others.
Mohan Kumar, Head of HOPE Child Care Centre said, We posted a request on ChariTra looking for volunteers to spend time, play games and share stories with 30 children that had come from the streets of Bangalore and by ChariTra I quickly had many volunteers promising to help and spend time with children.
V R Ferose, Managing Director, SAP Labs India, said, We are encouraged by our vision to build sustainable communities around us that help those in need by connecting them to those who want to give. In this vision, innovation and new technologies will continue to play a vital role. ChariTra uses technology innovatively and showcases SAPs fast approach in completing the product cycle.
Initially debuted to the India market, ChariTra will soon be launched globally.
