Integração de Powerpoint e Twitter made by SAP.

Isto está espetacular, testei n vezes com um template meu, funciona sempre, e é muito, muito giro, cheio de potencialidades: sapweb20.com

Não acredito que tenha uma grande utilização pelo nosso cantinho, mas quem sabe daqui a uns tempos. Considerando que em Setembro 09 o Twitter registou actividade de 58 milhões de utilizadores, acredito que mais cedo ou mais tarde a sua utilização também se generalize por cá.

Continuo a achar a postura da SAP face a social media de louvar.

new job, new blog.

This week I started a new job at SAP.  I joined SAP in February of 2008 as a product specialist in the NetWeaver Regional Implementation Group, helping to bridge the gap between development and the field (customers, partners, consultants).  We were recognized as thought leaders and experts in our respective areas of expertise, and served as the voice of the customer back to product management and development to have direct impact on the products.  I had an awesome time being part of this team of extremely smart and talented people – it was very challenging and rewarding from day one.  Actually from day one it was kind of like drinking from a fire hose (in a good way, of course). 

I had the opportunity to meet and work with dozens of customers, partners, consultants, and others on the topic of BI, SAP BW, BusinessObjects, and the like and hopefully provided some valuable information and insight to them in times of need.  All this was excellent, but it is time for a change… many things prompted the move: less travel, upskilling new areas, considering going back to school, more time for writing and other time consuming projects I wish to pursue.   I am transitioning to a team called Market Insight that is providing reporting and analytics solutions internally at SAP.  I think it will be an interesting career change that leverages my deep background in SAP and BusinessObjects reporting solutions.  So with the start of my job and a refreshing change in direction in my career I thought I would take the opportunity to start a new blog.  I have told myself many times I was going to do this, and even setup a wordpress blog which I let die on the vine before I even planted it. 

So here it is.  My opinions and thoughts on various subjects (as is any blog I guess).  Please chime in and comment if you like or don’t like what I have to say.. above all I am here to collaborate with others, start a dialogue, and meet people with similar interests.  I look forward to seeing where this goes.

Thanks for reading.

Big news for SAP dev's

This is a pretty exciting announcement if you’re an SAP Developer.  If not, well, just ignore this.

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/16455#

This week at TechEd Vienna SAP announces a code exchange platform, where developers can share source code and collaborate on development projects. The platform has been in the making for some time, but by the end of this year it will be available for the community and integrated in SDN. Project owners can upload and share source code, models, metadata, documentation, sample data, configurations etc. and work collaboratively on the projects. Source code management, issue tracking, discussion forums, and other features will support them in their work. The integration into SDN will make it easy to find relevant projects and to cross-reference other SDN content.

In the past, dozens of SDN community members created applications that filled white spaces in the SAP offerings. SAPlink by Ed Herrmann and Dan McWeeney or Detroubulator by Morten Wittrock are just two of several dozen projects, currently hosted on other code sharing platforms. SAP wants to give projects like these a home in order to increase their visibility and to help them leverage the power of the SDN community.

With the new platform on SDN, projects will not only be more visible on SDN, they will also profit extensively from the developer and customer community. Project owners can much easier find additional project members to help develop, test and document their add-ons, and customers can rate and give feedback to projects. This will help all parties. More resources mean more and better add-ons filling more feature gaps, and project members will much better understand the needs of their users. Code exchange will be the one-stop-shop for developers and customers.

To support the new platform SAP also introduces new NetWeaver Developer Licenses that allow individual developers to use ABAP programming language and the NetWeaver Composition Environment offering free of charge to develop and share their prototypes on code exchange.

Both the code exchange area on SDN and the NetWeaver Developer Licenses will be rolled out to the larger SDN community by the end of this year. In the meantime, SAP Mentors as well as first pilot projects will get access to the platform as a close beta in order to co-develop SAP’s new co-development platform together with SAP’s top contributors.

If you are interested in learning more or participate with a pilot project, contact Erwin Tenhumberg or Mario Herger.

Mario Herger is a member of the Technology Standards & Open Source team.

SAP + Google Wave = Collaborative Business Process Modelling

A SAP criou o Gravity - um widget de BPM para correr em cima do Google Wave. http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/15618#

Acredito que tenha potencial, não só para levantamento de requisitos como para trabalho comercial em consultoria; a prazo, até poderia substituir o Solution Composer...

O que acho relevante é que esta é a primeira aplicação profissional que vejo para o Wave. Acredito que muitas mais virão.

Por outro lado, acho 'curiosa' a associação da SAP ao Google...

(Acho engraçado: o Google Wave ainda não está disponível, e o Gravity é um protótipo. A maior parte das pessoas não tem acesso nem a um nem a outro. É isto a economia virtual...)

P.S.-não consigo fazer download de mais de 15Mb do video; se por acaso alguém lá for e conseguir tirar tudo, mail me please!
