As the Chinese proverb goes "Never do anything standing that you can do sitting, or anything sitting that you can do lying down." Cut out clutter, stress, complexity...
Earlier this week I wrote
" Jerry Wang of Yahoo! a clear pioneer in search talks about "simplifying" the web. Ah, simplification - a term normally reserved for ERP."
Little did I know we would hear today SAP talk about melding search results with its analytical capabilities via its Business Objects acquisition. The holy grail - meshing unstructured and structured analytics. Internal and external data. Advertising and License based pricing. Software as a service and on-premise technology.
We might as well add Peace in the Middle East as one of the project goals. Piece of cake.
