Jeff Nolan, who left SAP ventures a month ago, is now working for ‘Teqlo‘, a startup that wants to build some kind of application to build mashups, without programming:

“Back in the day when personal computers first were wired together, they came together as LANs, not WANs. LANs were/are business networks and document sharing was how people collaborated. Lotus Notes emerged as a way for people to do on LANs what everyone does on WANs today – send messages, move attachments around, review and approve documents, etc. Lotus Notes was a powerful way to weave document-centric collaboration into Office 1.0.

Today the Web is the new LAN. We are all connected. Everything is a few hops away. We no longer need help to share data, but collaborative processes around anything with complexity or exceptions, a.k.a. real life, is still hard.

So we hope to open Teqlo.com initially as sort of a Lotus Notes for the Web Generation, but process-centric, not document-centric. Teqlos will be for consumers and businesses, because we all collaborate and the Web is the platform.” (more)

Sounds very interesting…

By the way, Jeff Nolan doesn’t seem to think much of big software vendors like his former employer SAP any more, as you can read here.
By the way, the reason why Jeff Nolan left SAP is because he sees no future (generally and especially for himself) in a large, publicly traded company like SAP that has to be conservative in it’s acting and is “responsible to many constituencies”.  Yo can read more on that here and here.
