SAP’s Brand, Product Lines and Channel Partners- Reconciliation Needed

SAP’s Brand, Product Lines and Channel Partners- Reconciliation Needed

By Brian Sommer on August 6, 2013

I attended SAP’s Channel Partner Summit in Miami last week.  While I generally applaud (and welcome) Jonathan Becher’s (SAP’s CMO) decision to reposition SAP’s brand, I believe some bigger issues have yet to be reconciled or subdued. These issues impact SAP’s channel partners, the company itself and its customers. SAP CMO Jonathan Becher Copyright 2013 […]

By Zoli Erdos on May 15, 2012

NetSuite History, Wayne’s World style NetSuite is no stranger to aggressive marketing,  and SAP has clearly been their #1 target for a while starting from pranks like the SAP for the Rest of Us Party during SAPPHIRE 2006 to staging a shootout at the anti-SAP Conference or releasing edgy videos a’la Mac vs Windows and […]

If y’all are not in the mood to listen to a (well reasoned, researched, educated and well-timed) rant, move along.  This is me ranting about vendors trying to confuse users when it comes to cloud topics.

SAP Sales OnDemand: Got It, Got It, Need It?

SAP Sales OnDemand: Got It, Got It, Need It?

By Paul Greenberg on March 2, 2011

For an inconceivably long time, I have been a fan of SAP’s without being anywhere close to a fan of their on demand a.k.a. SaaS a.k.a. sorta cloud, efforts. In fact, if you remember I ripped Business By Design a new one even as recently as Sapphire 2010 last May. But, at an invite-only Influencers Day […]
