Idea on SAP: avoid wearing The Wrong Trousers by Dennis Howlett. Wear baggy trousers, relax the CAP theorem. Use NoSQL Neo4j / MongoDB to fold relationships into the business system and gain custom without customization?
SAP has Startup ambitions.
One of the most important innovations is making SAPs technology more appealing to consumers.
“At Electronic Arts they have a rule that if they don’t see visible joy in a user in seven minutes a game will not sell. I would like to do the same with business software. We are not quite there yet, but sometimes we do get visible joy, with people saying ‘this is really cool and I am going to show it to my children.”
Jim Snabe, the co-chief executive of SAP with Maija Palmer, the FT’s technology correspondent.
