SAP showed for the first time a prototype of “Project Muse” at the SAPPHIRE in Orlando. “Project Muse” is a new user-interface that should replace SAPGUI and will be available for mySAP ERP 2005 in future updates.

Is this really a new technology or just an advancement of WebDynpro? Will this now finally be THE user-interface for SAP’s applications or yet another option besides Portal, Duet, SAPGUI, (ITS-)HTML-GUI, WebDynpro, Flash/Flex and so forth? We will see…

Who wants to buy SAP? May 21, 2006

There were rumors a month ago, and there are rumors again and again: will SAP be acquired? In an interview with Fincancial Times Hasso Plattner, one of the founders of SAP, now told us which companies he considers to be potential buyers, namly IBM, Microsoft and Google. He said if the shareholders would think this would be better, one had to be “emotionless”.
I don’t really think it would actually be better for SAP if they lost their independence, but I ask myself what Plattner wanted to achieve with this statement. Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer.
