The Need for Timely Software – SAP TechEd 2009

By Michael Coté on November 1, 2009

There was no giant news at SAP TehcEd Phoenix a few weeks ago, but in the nooks and crannies there were some previews of things to come and the drawn-out proving of SAP’s notion of “timeless software,” or “pace layering,” as James likes to call it.
