Sign of the times
When I saw the above pic I couldn’t resist re-printing it. It captures the mood among technology company reps and buyers alike. The caption on the original is poignant:
Looks like SAP means business and is cutting back on accommodation expenses for their consultants. Every little bit helps.
So as I head to London to meet with UK SUG and hang out with Forrester’s Ray Wang, I wonder the extent to which the image will meet reality? More to the point, I wonder the extent to which UK and Irish customers are drinking from the ‘value’ Kool-Aid that Henning Kagermann, co-CEO at SAP was dishing out at this week’s Goldman Sachs conference.
