My Favorite videos from SAP SAPPHIRE 2010
These are my favorite videos from SAP SAPPHIRE 2010.
Mobile: Vishal Sikka on the Sybase acquisition
You got the sense that one of the most important objectives of this Sapphire Event was to instill confidence in the market about SAPs continued prominent role in the business software. That comes, in big part, from clarity in intent. Vishal is dead clear in this video about why SAP purchased Sybase (after being prodded by Vinnie Mirchandani). My favorite, most well articulated video across the board.

Collaboration in Context: SAP StreamWork and ByDesign
Whilst I wish SAP does more in terms of radically re-thinking how discrete business activity needs to be executed by balancing engagement, content access and traditional ERP processes, this application of StreamWork is an excellent start. This video provides a sneak peak into the power of blending structured and unstructured data access and collaboration to improve business outcomes.

Experience Design: Hasso Plattner demoing SAP apps on the iPad
As I mentioned in my post, modern interfaces are finally coming to the enterprise. Some of the Enterprise 2.0 pure plays have done a great job of bringing engaging, usable interfaces to business – companies such as Socialcast and nGenera for instance. Intuit is an example of a traditional enterprise company that’s also done a brilliant job with Brainstorm, its innovation platform. In this video, Professor Hasso Plattner shows how seemingly bland (ok, who am I kidding – totally uninspiring) enterprise experiences can come alive thanks to in-memory and the iPad.

The Outside Perspective I: (Mostly Positive)
Video of Paul Greenberg, Vinnie Mirchandani, Oliver Marks and Me. From Dennis Howletts blog post, about this video:
The magic dust Bill sprinkled must have doped Vinnie. I have never seen him write such an effusive and enthusiastic post about SAP. And we go back way longer than the number of hairs left on my head. If Paul Greenberg had been any more bubbly, you’d think he was a shill for the company. He most certainly is NOT. SAPPHIRE virgin Sameer saw lost opportunities around the collaboration space and I sense he is right in talking about SAP using collaboration as an add-on rather than appearing to think about it in terms of rethinking business processes.

The Outside Perspective II: (Tough Love)
Finally, Vinnie Mirchandani and Paul Greenberg, two well respected analysts, thinkers and authors, tell it like it is.
