Jeff Nolan's take on innovation, entrepreneurship, tech and stuff that interests me
The odds of sitting down with a senior executive of a major technology company and being surprised and enlightened are one in a million because typically they sit down with a prepared agenda and, with the benefit of years and years of media training, religiously stay on message turning every question back to the thing [...]
UPDATE: Jevon pointed out that the links require reg… I’ll check into that because I thought that these were all public. SAP Global Marketing invited a bunch of people to participate in a meatspace and virtual space community event this week. There’s lots of good stuff going on, indeed, I am finding the blog postings, [...]
I wrote about Harmony over a year ago… it’s absolutely criminal that something this interesting couldn’t get developed and into customer hands more quickly.

I’m not [...]
SAP Facts (Chuck Norris style): (via James Governor) SAP is such a great software that initially there weren’t any errors. But in order to have any work to do at all, they made up some bugs and not to be outdone, Loek has a very good Quote of the Day: “SAP is somewhat like a [...]
Today I participated in a “think tank” session organized by SAP Labs and the World Internet Center. In addition to a bunch of my SAP colleagues there were individuals from Google, Zoho, Abgeneal, Dojo, StrkeIron, nStein Technologies, and Socialtext.
