SAP TechEd Day 1 Keynote & Q&A With @vsikka

SAP TechEd Day 1 Keynote & Q&A With @vsikka

By Sandy Kemsley on October 23, 2013

Vishal Sikka – head technology geek at SAP – started us off at TechEd with a keynote on the theme of how great technology always serves to augment and amplify us. He discussed examples such as the printing press, Nordic skis and the Rosetta Stone, and ends up with HANA (of course) and how a […]

The Rise Of The Machines: @BillRuh_GE On The Industrial Internet

The Rise Of The Machines: @BillRuh_GE On The Industrial Internet

By Sandy Kemsley on October 11, 2013

Last day of Software AG’s Innovation World, and the morning keynote is Bill Ruh, VP of GE’s Global Software and Analytics Center, on how GE is becoming a digital business. He points out that part of that is what you do internally, but part is also your products: GE is transforming both their products and […]

The Digital Agility Layer: Time To Get Intentionally Digital

The Digital Agility Layer: Time To Get Intentionally Digital

By Sandy Kemsley on October 10, 2013

Wolfram Jost, CTO of Software AG, started us off on the first full day of Innovation World with a keynote on innovations for the digital enterprise. As I mentioned yesterday, the use of the term “digital enterprise” (and even more, “digitization”) is a bit strange, since pretty much everything is digital these days, it’s just […]

Kicking Off @SoftwareAG @InnovationWorld

Kicking Off @SoftwareAG @InnovationWorld

By Sandy Kemsley on October 8, 2013

For the first time in a few years, I’m at Software AG’s Innovation World conference in San Francisco (I think that the last time I was here, it was still the webMethods Integration World), and the focus is on the Digital Enterprise. At the press panel that I attended just prior to this evening’s opening […]

Oracle BPM 11g – The View From Afar

Oracle BPM 11g – The View From Afar

By Sandy Kemsley on September 25, 2013

You know where I’m not this week? Oracle OpenWorld. You know why? Because after an email conversation where I said that I could attend if my travel expenses were covered, and having them register me for the conference, I was informed that “PR doesn’t cover any hotel rooms or air travel”. Whatever. However, I did […]

Looking For Process Improvement? Follow The Useless Paper Trail

Looking For Process Improvement? Follow The Useless Paper Trail

By Sandy Kemsley on September 9, 2013

I’m often called upon by clients to help them find areas for process improvement in their organizations, and I typically start by digging out two types of artifacts in their existing processes: spreadsheets, and “useless” paper documents. I’ve covered the topic of using spreadsheets and email as a stopgap in business processes in the past, […]

OpenText Acquires Cordys And Assure Platform For Cloud-Based Smart Process Apps

OpenText Acquires Cordys And Assure Platform For Cloud-Based Smart Process Apps

By Sandy Kemsley on September 6, 2013

I had a briefing two weeks ago with OpenText about their acquisition of Cordys, an interesting move considering their acquisition just a few weeks before that of ICCM, a partner company that created the Assure platform on top of OpenText’s MBPM (hat tip to Neil Ward-Dutton for tying together these two acquisitions). This provides them […]

Yammer For Enterprise Social At The Canadian Cancer Society With @lvanderlip

Yammer For Enterprise Social At The Canadian Cancer Society With @lvanderlip

By Sandy Kemsley on August 22, 2013

My blogging has been pretty sparse lately, in part because I’ve been busier than usual for the summer and in part because I have an intimidating backlog of product reviews to get through. Tonight, however, I’m at a meetup of Knowledge Workers Toronto to hear Lisa Vanderlip of the Canadian Cancer Society (a charitable fund-raising […]

Activiti Update 2013: New Functionality And New Partners

Activiti Update 2013: New Functionality And New Partners

By Sandy Kemsley on June 12, 2013

I had a briefing on the latest version of Alfresco’s Activiti BPM a couple of months back, but decided to wait until the news about their new partners – BP3 and Edorasware – was released before I posted. This strong showing of enterprise support partners is crucial for them following the defection of camunda from […]

SAPPHIRENOW Vishal Sikka Keynote – HANA For Speed, Fiori For Usability

SAPPHIRENOW Vishal Sikka Keynote – HANA For Speed, Fiori For Usability

By Sandy Kemsley on May 17, 2013

Vishal Sikka, who leads technology and innovation at SAP, followed Hasso Platner onto the keynote stage; I decided to break the post and publish just Plattner’s portion since my commentary was getting bit long. Sikka also started his part of the keynote with HANA, and highlighted some customer case studies from their “10,000 Club”, where […]
