How open source software supports SAP technology strategy
A few days ago, Rui Nogueira interviewed me on how open source supports the SAP technology strategy. A good reason to continue my blog. Which I am doing way too rarely. This time, I was almost on my way to title the blog post “Statistical errors or how Rui made me speak”. Yes, Rui made me speak. But why statistical errors? Because almost any time I used the terms statistic or statistical, I created a knot in my tongue … But listen yourself. Apr. 8, 2011

Standards take time. Do they? Why?
SAP has come a long way with regard to support for standards and open source technologies. But the engagements with partners and standards organizations and open source projects requires skill sets that are mostly not technical. And they typically need more time than to simply ship proprietary technologies. Why is this and why does SAP really care? Oct. 21, 2009

Open Innovation and the Long Tail
How can open innovation concepts address the long tail in an SAP environment? Or in other words, how can SAP users identify and prioritize business requirements that they would like SAP to cover in future releases? And how can this be carried out most effectively and efficiently? How can SAP identify commonalities in such requirements? And what do we do when we have actually identified the long tail? Oct. 5, 2009
