Another week, another pick of blogs worth a bedtime read (maybe)
- “From punch card to Cloud Computing” – a nice trip down memory lane (and some dodgy suits)
- Frank Scavo’s “SAP pushes back on Gartner for its ranking of Business Objects”
- SAP Inside Track Bonn 2010: it’s all happening in Bonn tomorrow. All the best for you guys. Sadly I can’t be there this time.
- Helmuth Guembel refers to a Wirtschaftswoche article in which Michael Kroker claimed that Leo Apotheker had to go as he was holding meetings with potential buyers without Hasso Plattner’s endorsement. Here’s another post by him around the delicate position Plattner finds himself in as he is Exec and on the supervisory board. Oh, and a 10% shareholder.
- Jon Reed with some in-depth analysis on Panaya’s SAP Salary review from last week.
