SAP's Shai Agassi: Unplugged
Following an interview with New York Times tech reporter John Markoff at a Churchill Club event, I sat down with Shai Agassi, SAP president of the Product and Technology Group and a member of the Executive Board for a podcast. In this interview, I ask him about SAP’s roll out of hosted services (expected next year); progress in delivering on the NetWeaver, the enterprise service architecture and xApps; Microsoft and his harsh critique of Oracle’s strategy; and about his tournament poker experience. The podcast can be delivered directly to your desktop or MP3 player if you’re subscribed to our podcasts (See ZDNet’s podcasts: How to tune in), or you can just download the MP3 file of my conversation with Agassi.
