Podcast: The Emergerce of the SAP BPM Skill Set
At SAP TechEd Phoenix, I was able to sit down with Greg Chase, and his colleague Patrik Fiegl. During this 19 minute podcast, we were able to examine the relevance of SAP BPM to today's project environments, and take a closer look at some of the skills that are needed as BPM intersects with IT.

The Real Reason Executive Participation Creates SAP Project Success
Successful SAP projects occur with executive involvement because of the nature of their role of setting direction, creating long term goals, and developing strategy. This is the hidden reason that is often overlooked--, it is their strategy "imprint" on the project that changes the dynamics. Their forward looking insight provides more possibility for satisfied customers and successful implementations than the more common reasons of authority or visibiity.

Café Innovation SAP customers seek new ways to improve return on their SAP investment
Innovation in how organizations support their SAP investment is in many ways just as important as how they innovate with SAP at the center of their technology investments. The role of a community-based approach should be considered as also the importance of the BPXer. Organizations are beginning to look at new models emerging within the SAP ecosystem that rely on a community-based approach and look to lower the TCO (financial and environmental) for their technology investments.

Some Reasons SAP Projects are Over Budget and Over Time
You're doing everything right. You've got executive support and sponsorship, a solid budget, you've been through a grueling vendor selection process, your scope is reasonable, you're using Solution Manager or following the ASAP methodology, but somehow your project is always in chaos. You're still doing lots of design work as you are ready to start integration testing. Something is wrong and you know it. Where is the problem and why are you headed for a blown budget and timeline?

Tokenization as a means of securing credit card numbers
Securing payment card numbers is essential in order to maintain compliance with the PCI DSS standards. Native payment card number encryption functionality in most of SAP's products. However, tokenization can provide an additional level of security of payment card numbers, help diminish PCI DSS scope on SAP's applications and even remove payment card numbers from your SAP application databases completely.
