SAP TechEd 2009 Top 10

-
It is SAP TechEd Season, every year it is the same story: how to select out of 256 session and build your personal agenda. While browsing through all the sessions I kept a small Top 10 of SAP TechEd topics (*):

  1. (1) SAP NetWeaver (88 sessions)
  2. (10) BusinessObjects (25)
  3. (6) ABAP (16)
  4. (5) BI (16)
  5. (4) BPM (15)
  6. (2) SOA (10)
  7. (9) Web Dynpro (9)
  8. (3) Java (8)
  9. (8) Composition Environment (6)
  10. (7) Enterprise Services (5)
Between brackets the results from 2008.
So what can we learn?
  • Java dropped down to #8, ABAP raised to #3. Investments in ABAP paying off?
  • Business Objects climbed to #2, with BI on #4 a lot of 'suit' sessions are entering the SAP TechEd schedule. BO and BI are not real 'geeks', they are suits playing with technology ;-)
  • SOA is falling down to #6. The hype is over?
  • BPM lost one place to BI. I would have thought that BPM would climb some places this year.
  • Runner up topics: Xcelsius (3) and Sustainability (3)
(*) Disclaimer: This Top 10 is a result of filtering the Title column on specific words. It is for fun only and I do not claim that this is the single truth.

That's an interesting trend you spotted. I hope actual Teched content won't follow those numbers though...

The power of data, integrated data! How Shimano realizes 97% cost avoidance

Improve customer experience by integrating data to answer a common question like “When will this be available?” Learn how Shimano is using SAP Integration Suite to break down IT silo’s and deliver the right information at the right time to the right person. Shimano processes 12 million messages on a yearly basis and 75% of those interfaces are still point to point. They work perfectly fine, but maintenance is difficult. Shimano now modernizes its integration landscape to connect to customers (dealers) and logistic service providers using the Integration Suite of SAP Business Technology Platform. Do you want to know how much Shimano will save? Or how fast Shimano can connect to new customers/partners? You can find out in this episode of Business Innovation with SAP.

Professional Scrum Master \o/

Since 2009 I am a big fan of doing scrum , especially in SAP projects. I know there is a lot of fuzz going on around scrum, again especially in SAP projects ;-) But I am convinced that using scrum will really help you to fulfil your customer needs. Not the needs that have been defined some time ago, but the actual requirements to support business challenges. Requirements that can change along the way, just like business challenges. In the years since 2009 I've done a lot of talks on scrum , coached a lot of projects but 'forgot' to certify myself... So that was my personal challenge early May.
