We had the opportunity to attend the SAP Insider conference held in Vienna, from June 19th till 24th 2016. The event isn’t organized by SAP but an events organizer that combined BI, GRC, HANA, HCM and more topics with the xxx2016 moniker. The conference was well attended with over 1800 participants, coming from customers, prospects, the ecosystem and SAP… defacto this makes it like the European Sapphire, an event SAP no longer has on its event calendar.

UK Referendum Highlights Displeasure With Political ElitesWith almost 52% voting to leave, the surprise results of the June 23rd, 2016 referendum highlighted the 40 year shift from euro-centric to euro-skeptic among the average UK citizen (see Figure 1). While many will attempt to blame the outcome on an ignorant non-urban voter, the results showed the discontent, the average citizen has for the political and financial elites. The vote was more than a protest vote on globalization and immigration. In fact, the vote highlighted how the European Union had failed to improve the average non-urban UK citizen’s lives. The vote also showed how the political elites could no longer bribe voters into submission that the EU was more positive than negative to the average UK citizen.
