In CNBC interview (http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000024763, the interview starts at 1m30s), Bill McDermott, SAP AG Co-CEO stated SAP follows 3 big trends when he was asked the secret behind SAP’s incredible YTD performance(SAP stock up 20%+ YTD). Three big trends he mentioned are:
- Mobility
- Big Data
- Cloud
Even though he meant HANA/In-Memory as solution to solve Big Data trend, I’m convinced we could – between now and when In-Memory DB becomes widely available- implement 10+ years old DB concepts to manage Very Large DataBases(VLDB) and solve immediate performance problems.
On July 15th, let us discuss one of those concepts in Chicago. Remember a bird in hand is better than two in bush!
I’ll not be alone. You’ll get to meet some prominent SAP Mentors such as Gingler Gatling, Bhanu Gupta, Michelle Crapo and Tammy Powlas. Another SAP Mentor Thomas Jung who needs no introduction would speak from St. Louis, MO.
More importantly the event is FREE. And I’m looking forward to discussing something that I’ve been doing for years!!!
