Your prompt response to my questions last year is really appreciated:.

I don't know I'll ever meet the standards of Demo-jam even for submission but I'll keep trying:. Demo-jam review is going to make it easier. Vijay Vijayasankar subtly points in the direction he would like to see. Vijay breaks the execution issue into three pieces arguing for:. Innovation should matter to the company in some measurable way. Sure it is fun to do gamification innojams, and a couple of apps in HANA a year. For that — innovation needs to be focused, and the process should be industrialized.

A good example is LOB on demand products. Sales on demand, Career on demand etc are all very good — and have some of the best people at SAP doing their best to make it succeed.

But they are too few to make it count. I could be wrong — and am glad to stand corrected. I have a good idea where this is coming from since a number of us have been hashing these issues out the last six months. I'm less worried about the development focus and more concerned about opening up SAP to widescale development opportunities. Despite moaning about this over three years, it still isn't happening.

Just like in mobile, SAP needs to fundamentally rethink and invent a business model that offers real growth and not the fake growth we see coming through maintenance revenue. From what I am seeing, that's out of reach today. The irony is that in the enterprise market, SAP has the best shot at getting this right. As you might have gathered, SAP TechEd for me was not really about technology although that played a good part of what was under discussion.

Successes were score. Key issues remain. Once again, the business model dominated conversations. Once again, the same arguments I have espoused for a number of years resurfaced like a bloated corpse.

Once again, the reasons I've heard before were repeated. I guess you can do that readily when you are protected by a massive maintenance revenue condom reliably ringing the cash register till. It won't last forever. It's time to go. Accounting on the cloud: WOW. SAP Standard Support price rise: why now?

CMO to have more spend power? Don't make me weep. You agree to receive updates, promotions, and alerts from ZDNet. You may unsubscribe at any time. By signing up, you agree to receive the selected newsletter s which you may unsubscribe from at any time.
