Was the S4HANA launch rushed?

Was the S4HANA launch rushed?

By Vinnie Mirchandani on February 13, 2015

As I listened to the SAP launch in NYC of its S4 product I told a few folks I was struck how high level the presentation was. That they should have field tested and matured the pitch with many customers and presented a more mature version at Sapphire 3 months from now. I went back […]

Hasso's Dozen

Hasso’s Dozen

By Vinnie Mirchandani on September 3, 2014

Dr. Hasso Plattner has written a long blog post about Business Suite on HANA. He has 12 reasons justifying why. His passion for the product screams through the post. I wish he would make it a Baker’s dozen and add a 13th point: that SAP plans to change its business model around HANA. I am […]

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 […]

SAP Goes All in for User Experience and Design

By James Governor on November 18, 2012

I flew down to Madrid yesterday to check out what’s happening in the SAP ecosystem at the company’s TechEd and Sapphire event. There are a ton of angles to consider in looking at the company’s comeback, but one of the most obvious is the growing influence of SAP’s Research Labs in Palo Alto. SAP’s future is […]

The end of vaporware

The end of vaporware

By Vinnie Mirchandani on November 12, 2012

It was a striking sight. It was end of day in last week’s Technology Summit after Workday had showed us countless demos of new functionality, when under non-disclosure they announced plans to develop a Recruiting module. It would be next-gen, not just applicant tracking, but would allow for candidate identification through  traditional and social channels, […]

Vindicated by SaaS

Vindicated by SaaS

By Zoli Erdos on August 10, 2010

<Shameless chest-thumping below. You’ve been warned.> In 2008 I said: I am a strong believer that in 4-5 years most software developed will be SaaS, and that in 10 years it will be the predominant method of “consuming” software by large enterprises.
