SAP – The Message Back on Target
(Just a brief note. I’m writing this with a TERRIBLE cold and I don’t feel particularly sharp. In fact I feel about as sharp as a bar of soap – proof positive is this awful analogy). I’m not a Kremlin watcher when it comes to most large companies, though I do admit to an unhealthy [...]

Okay, this is the final installment of the CRM 2010 Watchlist from me, though you will be seeing one from Brent Leary on the SMB Social CRM companies to watch in 2010 in the next couple of days. But I’m, “wore out.” My fingers don’t want to write much at the moment, no matter what [...]
