Who We Are

For almost 20 years, Germany-based E-3 Magazine has covered the development of the SAP community in the D/A/CH region. Now, we are bringing the best independent news outlet for SAP-related topics to the global stage.

e3zine is a special-interest magazine devoted to SAP software and related topics. It’s a community magazine covering business and technical solutions in today’s SAP marketplace. Our articles add to and expand the information supplied by SAP itself, but it is important to mention that we are completely independent of SAP user groups like DSAG as well as SAP itself. e3zine targets all kinds of users, from IT beginners to computer center supervisors. Lively and accurate journalism gives readers broad knowledge and new insights into SAP solutions and their working environments.

High Tech to Provide Quality Content

Great journalism is our mission, but that is far from the end of the story: We are also trying to provide the best user experience possible while browsing our articles. Our online team is focused on delivering that experience by a large list of cutting-edge technology running in the background.

Sounds like an exaggeration? We are not limiting ourselves to constantly improve on things you see at the front-end, like load times and availability worldwide. Among other things, we are running semantic analysis in the background to provide you with more than just a few suggested articles from the same category.  There’s more to be gained from your valuable reading time if you can get suggestions on the same topic but also from a different perspective! How about getting a user report or success story in addition to the analyst report you just clicked on? The possibilities are truly limitless.

Get our Content Wordwide

To make sure you are always getting the content you want within the shortest possible time, we have put our site on a state-of-the-art Content Delivery Network (CDN). Regardless of whether you are in Asia, Oceania, Europe, the Americas or Africa: you can always take e3zine.com with you!

After all, it is about matching the global scope of information we provide with the global scope of the work you do every day.

Call for Papers

Editorial Guidelines

Some of our readers wonder why certain naming conventions that are standard in the industry do not apply to us. We are aware that a lot of our readers are spending a significant part of their day in front of screens, mobile devices, and tablets. Not only does that take a toll on our reader’s eyes, it also makes focusing on a very specific, in-depth report hard – no matter how good the article may be.

Companies big and small often invest thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours into exploiting the full potential of the ASCII code in order to make their product names, logos, press releases, etc. look as unique and recognizable as possible. This may be great when placing said logos and products on an advertising wall next to a highway, where potential customers are driving by at 60 mph. However, when faced with large bits of text over the internet, the reader often does not appreciate the effort nearly as much as originally intended.

Over-use of capital letters and a myriad of abbreviations coupled with often complex topics can make reading well-researched articles a quite exhausting task. As a platform for information and community building, we want to make sure that our content is easy to read and to understand.

We have hence set forth the following editorial guidelines when it comes to creating our content: If you say it like a name, we write it like a name. Best example would be SAP’s Hana platform. We all pronounce Hana as if it was a name, so there is only a capital letter at the beginning despite the official product name being SAP HANA®.

In contrast, nobody would say Sap (as in sap-ling for instance) when talking about the German company, so SAP (pronounced S-A-P) will keep its capitalization. This is a tried-and-tested journalistic approach to providing a better reading experience and has also been in practice at large news outlets and magazines for many years around the globe.

In addition, whenever legally possible, we will remove © and ® to the same end. Of course, this whole matter is at the discretion of our editors: It would hardly make any sense to let go of the capitalization of names that otherwise denominate different things. Think of the US Navy’s SEAL Team for example. In addition, we try to avoid including designations for legal forms of organization such as Inc., Ltd., etc. for the reasons already outlined above.

Lastly, our goal is to provide our readers with in-depth information. While content in the form of videos or streams usually works, please note that requests for publishing infographics without much additional information will go unanswered.

e3zine.com Publisher B4Bmedia.net AG, Munich (Germany): GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. An advertising order as defined by the following General Terms and Conditions is the contract for the publication of one or more advertisements of an advertising customer in print or online publication of B4bmedia.net AG (hereinafter referred to as B4bmedia.net). The advertising order becomes legally binding immediately after written confirmation by B4bmedia.net. Additional oral agreements become effective immediately after written confirmation by B4bmedia.net. Fax or e-mail are accepted as written forms. Solely the General Terms and Conditions of B4bmedia.net apply to the advertising order. Unless B4bmedia.net explicitly approves of their validity on a case-by-case basis, the customer’s General Terms and Conditions do not become part of the contract so far as they are inconsistent with or deviating from the General Terms and Conditions of B4bmedia.net.

2. Each advertising order is linked to a specific media product of B4bmedia.net and contains a detailed plan of publication for the advertisements and the booked issues. Orders for advertisements and third-party inserts that are to be placed exclusively in specific magazine issues, specific editions or in specific spots in the publication must be submitted to B4bmedia.net in a timely manner, i.e. no later than the advertising deadline according to the currently effective media kit so that the customer can still be informed in time if an order can be carried out or not. Cancellations or deferrals of advertisements must be submitted to B4bmedia.net at least four weeks before the advertising deadline of the respective magazine issue. Exceptions are yearly or quarterly offers for which the cancellation date is set separately in the offer and the order confirmation. If the deadline is exceeded, B4bmedia.net is still entitled to payment due to the allocation and reservation of the advertising space in print.

3. Advertisements which are not recognizable as advertisements due to their editorial design can be identified by giving them the designation “Advertisement” or “Advertorial”. The customer bears sole responsibility for the content and the legal admissibility of the text, the images and all other documents provided for publication. The customer is responsible for indemnifying B4bmedia.net from any and all third-party claims against the publisher which arise on the basis of the execution of the order, even when the order was to be cancelled. B4bmedia.net is not obligated to check orders and advertisements for their legal admissibility and possible infringement of third-party rights.

4. B4bmedia.net reserves the right to refuse advertising orders due to content, source or the technical format when the content violates laws or official regulations, third-party rights or offends accepted principles of morality, or the publication of the content cannot be reasonably expected of B4bmedia.net (withdrawal). In this case, B4bmedia.net also has the right to remove individual content or individual passages of the text from the advertisement without prior announcement or notification. In such a case, the customer cannot assert any claims against B4bmedia.net. Orders for supplements are binding for B4bmedia.net only after a specimen supplement has been submitted to and approved by B4bmedia.net. The customer assumes sole responsibility for all legal consequence resulting from the content of advertising orders or an advertising message and shall indemnify B4bmedia.net from any and all third-party claims, particularly in case of claims for damages or counterstatement. The customer shall also assume all costs incurred by B4bmedia.net for legal defense. B4bmedia.net is not obligated to check content, media, documents, research, data or advertisements for their legal admissibility and possible infringement of third-party rights.

5. The customer is responsible for the timely delivery of the advertisement. B4bmedia.net requests immediate replacement in case of obviously unsuitable or flawed advertisements. If defects in the data are not immediately recognizable but only become clear in the publishing process or any subsequent processing step, then the customer shall not be entitled to file any claims against B4bmedia.net based on unsatisfactory quality. The customer is responsible for all data provided to the publisher. The customer is furthermore liable for any damages caused by viruses or other impairments of any files transferred to B4bmedia.net.

6. In the event of a completely or partially ineligible, incorrect or incomplete publication of the advertisement (subject to the provision in section 5), the customer can claim a payment reduction or a clean replacement advertisement, but only to the extent to which the purpose of the advertisement has been adversely affected. If B4bmedia.net allows a reasonable grace period set for a clean replacement to elapse or if the replacement advertisement is not clean, then the customer has a right to payment reduction or cancellation of the order, provided that the purpose of the advertisement has been adversely affected. Claims for damages are limited to compensation of the damage up to the original amount paid for the advertisement. This does not apply to any intent or gross negligence on the part of B4bmedia.net. Liability for gross negligence is limited to compensation for foreseeable damage up to the original amount paid for the advertisement. Legal liability for personal injuries or liability based on German Product Liability Law remains unaffected by this provision. B4bmedia.net can claim contributory negligence. Further claims for damages, regardless of the reason, are excluded; also if the order was placed by phone. In the case of obvious defects, the right to compensation expires after 4 (four) weeks after the date of receiving the invoice (not applicable to non-obvious defects).

7. Until the set deadline, B4bmedia.net takes account of error corrections. If the customer does not exercise this right before the set deadline, the customer’s approval is considered a given. If any faults in the advertisement cannot immediately be recognized and are only noticed during the printing or editing process, the advertiser has no claims against B4bmedia.net in the event of inadequate advertising quality. Claims against B4bmedia.net based on faulty reproduction or publishing are invalid if the customer notifies B4bmedia.net about them by phone.

8. If the website is temporarily unavailable at the publication date of the advertisement, the customer has no right to cancel advertising orders. If technical recovery of the website is impossible under any circumstances, the customer may withdraw from the contract or request that the advertisement be published after a replacement of the website has been set up.

9. If the customer has not prepaid, the invoice is sent immediately (up to 14 days) after publication of the advertisement. The invoice must be paid 10 days from the date of the invoice in accordance with the terms of payment unless a different period or prepayment has been agreed upon. Upon request, B4bmedia.net supplies a screenshot copy of the advertisement with the invoice. If copies of advertisements can no longer be obtained, B4bmedia.net will supply the customer with a legally binding certification of the publication and circulation of the advertisement.

10. In the event of default or deferment of payment, interest of 5 (five) percent above the effective base rate of the European Central Bank is charged (at least 6 percent in addition to collection costs). Default of payment gives B4bmedia.net the right to delay further execution of the current advertising order and, if applicable, demand payment for remaining advertisements in advance. If there is reasonable cause to doubt the customer’s ability to pay, B4bmedia.net may also make the publication of further advertisements dependent on the payment of outstanding invoice amounts as well as on the prepayment of any further advertisements irrespective of originally stipulated terms of payment. The publisher can also demand security in case of doubt about the customer’s ability to pay or in the event of default of payment. The costs customers incur for pre-judicial warnings amount to EUR 2.50 / USD 3.00 for the 2nd warning and EUR 6.00 / USD 7.00 for the 3rd.

11. The customer shall bear the costs of the production of requested and ordered PDF files and/or special reproduction requests. If the customer requests significant changes to the original advertising order, the incurring costs shall be borne by the customer.

12. The price list of B4bmedia.net effective at the time the order is placed applies. Price changes are only effective for orders confirmed by B4bmedia.net if they are made at least one month before the publication date of the advertising material. In the event of a price increase, the customer has the right to withdraw. The withdrawal period will expire 14 days after the day of the receipt of the notification about the price increase. Discounts are determined in accordance with the effective price list. Advertising agencies and other advertising intermediaries are obligated to adhere to the price list in their offers, contracts and billing with advertising customers. The agency discount granted by B4bmedia.net may not be passed on in whole or in part to customers of advertising agencies and other advertising intermediaries.

13. Copies and/or data (media) are only returned to the customer if requested or when there is a corresponding note in the order. The obligation to retain such data, copies or media ends three months after the expiry of the order.

14. B4bmedia.net is not obligated to publish any user data, particularly concerning data on impressions, click rates or any other statistical data related to their websites and corresponding social media channels. Data cleared for release will only be provided at the discretion of B4bmedia.net. This does not limit the right of the customer to inquire about statistical data before placing an advertising order.

15. The E-3 editorial team of B4bmedia.net may edit, supplement, rewrite or shorten submitted or proposed texts, reports, commentaries, interviews, images or other contributions at any time according to the generally applicable editorial guidelines of the E-3 editorial team. It is assumed that contributions are provided exclusively to B4bmedia.net and their publications; however, there is no obligation on B4bmedia.net’s part to publish any submitted material without written agreement. Upon sending such material, the author/writer declares that they are fully entitled to all the copyrights, ancillary copyrights and other rights (personal rights or trademark rights) required for publication, including but not limited to the articles, reports, commentaries, interviews, images or other contributions provided.

16. Oral agreements always require written confirmation by B4bmedia.net to become effective. Confirmation by fax or e-mail is sufficient.

17. The General Terms and Conditions, the order confirmation and the respectively effective price list are authoritative for each other. The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising under or in connection with contractual relationships subject to these General Terms and Conditions is the place of business of B4bmedia.net unless mandatory law provides otherwise. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. If individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions are invalid, this shall not affect the validity of other provisions and shall be amicably replaced by a provision most closely approximating the commercial aim and purpose of the invalid provision.

Data Protection & Privacy Policy

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has come into effect on 25 May 2018 and henceforth applies in all EU states. You can download the text of the regulation here.

In order to comply with the regulations, here is some very important information:

B4Bmedia.net AG collects, processes and uses personal data. This happens only with consent (for example: subscription registration) and for the purpose of the services offered by us and in accordance with the regulations of the GDPR. We naturally follow the data protection and civil law regulations.

Furthermore, the collection of personal data only affects the information which is necessary to carry out the respective service or information which you have made available to us voluntarily. The following is to be understood as personal data: Personal or factual information like name, e-mail, address, telephone number, date of birth, age, gender, social security number, credit card information, fingerprints, video recordings, photos, voice recordings and the like. Sensitive data such as health data can also be affected in some cases.

We may ask you to inform us of any changes to your data, since, in accordance with GDPR, you have the right to information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, of course, a right to deletion, correction, data transmission, opposition, restriction of processing and blocking of such data.

You may also revoke any consent to the processing of personal data at any time by directing your request for information, deletion, correction, opposition and/or data transmission directly to our business address.

If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data by us violates applicable data protection law, we ask you to contact us. You can also contact the responsible data protection authority directly. In our case, this is the Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht // P.O. Box 606, 91511 Ansbach / Promenade 27 (Schloss), 91522 Ansbach // Phone: 0981 53 – 1300 // E-Mail: poststelle@lda.bayern.de // Internet: http://www.lda.brandenburg.de

In order to protect your data in the best possible way, we naturally take appropriate precautions, such as contractual agreements with partner companies, firewalls, password protection and regular updates. We attach particular importance to protection against unauthorized, accidental or illegal access, processing, use of manipulation and loss.

Although we make every effort to ensure this, we can unfortunately never completely exclude the possibility that information that you send us via the Internet may be viewed and used by unauthorized parties. We therefore ask you to note that we assume no liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transmission and/or unauthorized access by third parties not caused by us (e.g. hacker attacks on e-mail accounts, telephone or interception of faxes).

We also assure you that the data you make available to us will only be used for the purpose of fulfilling our offer or for other purposes covered by the provisions of the GDPR. An exception to this is the use of the data for statistical purposes, provided that the corresponding data has been made anonymous.

In order to make our offers available in the best possible way, it may happen that data has to be passed on to third parties (service providers who have to process our data – e.g. hosting providers) in order to fulfil our offers. However, this forwarding takes place exclusively within the scope of the GDPR and is secured accordingly.

We further ensure that personal data will only be transmitted to those countries which are recognised as such by the EU Commission with an adequate level of data protection and always ensure that the recipient has an appropriate level of data protection.

We always endeavor to detect any data leaks at an early stage and, if necessary, to report them immediately to you or to the relevant authority. Your data will not be kept longer than is necessary to fulfil our contractual/legal obligations.

The protection of your data is very important to us. We are happy to be reached under the contact details given in our imprint.

We thank you for your confidence and remain with kind regards,

B4Bmedia.net AG
