I encounter a lot of companies debating SAP’s place in the world. Many ask if the SAP Portal is good enough. Many want to integrate to it. Go Big Always talks about SAP missing the boat as their growth slows. He makes some interesting points.
The new brain now touches everyone at an organization. But not just them, it also reaches out and touches a company’s partners and customers. While SAP contemplates it’s circulatory system and uses it as the framework to push into extremities and other systems like CRM (sensory system) or SCM (digestive system), it’s hugely missing out on how to capture the new brain.
Having worked on a couple projects either integrating to SAP or debating use of their portal, I think he may have a point.
