MDM Business Scenarios

This is the kind of post I would like to see more of on SDN, business scenarios presented as a demonstration point that we are, in many cases, no longer selling just application products or tools but rather business process strategies. In many ways I hate the term “business process” because I just think we [...]

SAP Israel Update

When the current round of troubles between terrorists and the Israelis broke out I remembered back a few years ago when a suicide bomber blew himself up in Haifa and I asked one of my colleagues, who is Israeli, here in Palo Alto about that city. He looked at me and in a rather somber [...]

I want my IM at work!

My lifeline to my IM contacts while working at the office has been cut off! That’s right, in their attempts to sanitize everything that could be innovative and productive, SAP’s IT group has decided that Meebo is a security risk and blocked it. The blocking of Meebo is the latest in a long line of [...]

Truth in Advertising, Part 183.2b

Note: This post is the one I wrote a couple of weeks ago and then realized I was subject to quiet period. In light of our earnings announcement last week it would be an omission on my part to not deal with that subject. Honestly, I have not had a chance to go over all [...]

Defense Blog

Just wanted to take a moment to highlight a really great blog that our industry team for the defense marketplace has been hosting. I really like this blog because I’m interested in the topic but also because my contact there has absolutely the right motivation for championing this; he simply said to me (I’m paraphrasing) [...]

Quiet Period - Ugh!

I wrote a terrific post (at least I thought so) about Oracle’s recent claims of 585 wins against SAP in the last year (their fiscal year). I named names and deal specifics about where their wins were actually losses, where we actually did lose to them, and the number and specifics of deals we have [...]

SAP Voices: too much plumbing…

This is from a new blog that I have on my internal SAP network (sorry, behind the firewall use only) for SAP “voices” to take advantage of. It’s something new and quite honestly not for everyone, but I have some really strong internal personalities that are blogging on on it and I’m excited to see [...]

SAP’s Project Muse - new UI

SAP and Adobe have had a long relationship, originally focused on PDF and forms processing and more recently on user interface collaboration. Project Muse is the fruit of that collaboration, it represents one of the UI options SAP customers can take advantage of. Written in Flash and Flex, even I can say that it looks [...]

Venturing into SAP Ventures and the NetWeaver Fund

Given my history with SAP Ventures, I have and will continue to refrain from writing about the Netweaver Fund that SAP launched last week, at least as it relates to SAP Ventures. However, I do wish to point to something that Jason wrote which in my opinion does a very good job of articulating the [...]

AMR Research: SAPPHIRE ’06: My 10 Takeaways

Bruce provides an interesting Top 10 list from last week at SAPPHIRE. I agree that SAPPHIRE was pretty boring from an “inside baseball” perspective, but customers sure seem to like steady and secure.

AMR Research: SAPPHIRE ’06: My 10 Takeaways:

Instead, what we are seeing is the maturation of SAP’s strategy around business process platforms and enterprise [...]
