OK, there’s been a little gap in weekly updates. I knew that the title “This Week in SAP” would come to haunt me one of those weeks. I blame the World Cup and Konrad Zuse’s birthday. But now, after some dire performances from Germany and England, I’m desperately looking for some distraction in the vaults of the SAP world… let’s see.

• Redmonk on Software AG’s global approach, giving it to us straight; interview with Dr Peter Kuerpick.
• fellow SAP mentor Sandy Kemsley is not happy and lets rip on Enterprise Collaboration. A very noteworthy and apt insight.
• Talking Bay Area, Crossroads, Sapphire and Crossroads Cafe: Mark Finnern interview with Anne Petteroe
• Jon Reed and Andy Klee interview each other on ASUG-SAPPHIRE Orlando 2010, SAP training trends, SAP certification, and other conference takeaways…
• Thomas Wailgum on a new TV series: “ERP Undercover”. I’d really like “ERP Vice”, but that’s me.
• ex-SAP Steve Mann hits hard with his criticism re SAP’s presence on Twitter.
• For the second time now, SAP Inside Track London didn’t disappoint. See here an initial wrap-up by Dennis Howlett and Martin Gillet’s Flickrstream.

• PuruGovind: I have shifted most of my SAP-context tweeting to SAP talk, our inhouse microblogging tool.
• dahowlett: Resetting my #sdn password for the 3rd time in as many days…..grrr…..
