So take a peek:
If you can't watch - have a look:
- A year ago (see here) it was (finally!) all about PaaS at SAP. Similar to Oracle, which had Oracle Openworld happening the week before (this year it's the other way around). And similar to IBM, who has been promoting the API economy for quite a while. SAP partners with Apigee and has made good progress as we saw at 'ILoveAPIs' last week (see here).
- Anyone remember the yellow SAP logo - it was all new 12 months ago.. time flies.
- So what will SAP show the developer community how they can make a living in 2016? I think the Hana Cloud Platform (HCP) will be key and needs to remain forefront of these efforts.
- A year ago it was all about HANA SPS9 - let's see how much HANA messaging we will hear the next days. Of course a main focus is the recent HANA Vora announcement (more here). It's a very good move by SAP, TechEd will show how SAP will motivate developers to uptake the new capabilities.
- And lets learn more about the new SAP Analytics solution, that was announced last week.
- Let's see how the ecosystem is doing, key to see SAP uptake and adoption.
If you are in Las Vegas in person, catch me - I always have a minute. Or follow me on Twitter @holgermu - all my notes are there first!
