Feeling a little SAPpy
Category None
In a couple weeks I'll be attending partner enablement training (yes I still code) in Cambridge for the recently announced IBM Lotus Notes access for SAP. With good friends Bob Balaban and Rocky Oliver on the team, I'm jazzed about putting the new solutions to work for some of my global clients. Information Week gives a succinct description of the new integrated capabilities: "For its part, Lotus Notes access for SAP promises to help customers integrate SAP data and business processes with Lotus Notes tasks, including vacation/leave workflow, time reporting, contact management, and report generation." By the way, don't you just love the way Information Week does their ads? It's about the most visually appealing thing I've seen on the web.
Lotus Notes Access for SAP solutions should give you an idea of the rapid development that IBM is capable of these days. From Computer Business Review: "IBM is introducing Lotus Access for SAP on the Notes rich desktop client, and for the browser-based Lotus Workplace for SAP Software. Out of the box, IBM is offering capabilities to synchronize, rather than simply interface with SAP business processes. ... However, IBM in this version is one-upping Microsoft by supporting CRM- and analytics-related scenarios, such as contact management and report generation. By comparison, these processes won't be supported by Duet [the Microsoft-SAP integration] until the next Value Pack, scheduled for Q4."
I love it when IBM comes in first, and people notice.
So trivia time - who out there knows the code name for the project? No IBMers! And if you do, do you know what it means? There's a clue on the IBM website linked above.
