I knew I was in trouble last night when fellow Enterprise Irregular, Dennis Howlett, cornered me in the pub around 10:30 in the evening and I asked if I was sober enough to record a video. The topics he wanted to ask were to focus on my first day impressions of the SAP Influencer Summit — not to mention what the vibe implied for SAP’s overall current direction. Of course I took the bait — sober or not, who would not want to get tossed some hardball questions from such a salty character as Dennis — and went in front of the camera. As an aside, the whole experience of frequent video recording, which is becoming more common at events like these (either sanctioned by the sponsoring organization or not), has gotten me to think about the implications of introducing video to Spend Matters next year in various forms. I’ve not yet pulled the trigger on the concept, but I’m loading the weapon at the moment. We’ll see if it ends up being a BB or mortar-size result — or something in between. But regardless, I’ll post a link to my interview with Dennis when available.
I’d say the rest of the day brought with it a clear realization for most attendees that SAP is changing…
