Conference Coverage Okay, I admit it. I failed. I broke a promise. I wanted to provide individual coverage for each of the conferences that I’ve attended in the last 2 months or so, but there are so many I just couldn’t keep up.

Last week, SAP made a number of technology announcements; rebutted rumors and competitive disinformation; and, threw a pretty good party for thousands of customers and partners.

Vishal Sikka, who leads technology and innovation at SAP, followed Hasso Platner onto the keynote stage; I decided to break the post and publish just Plattner’s portion since my commentary was getting bit long.
