It was CeBIT<\/a> in Hannover, Germany last week, and I participated on a panel talking about \u201cGame Changers in Today\u2019s Business\u201d, including Jake Klein the project lead for SAP HANA (\u201cH<\/span>igh-Performance An<\/span>alytic A<\/span>ppliance\u201d). We discussed future trends in analytics, the new release of SAP BusinessObjects BI and EIM 4.0.<\/p>\n Much of the discussion was about whether SAP\u2019s customers are buying into the vision, and if SAP was communicating its vision in the right way. You can watch the replay here: SAP Press Roundtable \u201cGame Changers in Today\u2019s Business\u201dat CeBIT 2011<\/a>.<\/p>\n I also very much enjoyed the evening “influencer” event, with great discussions with folks like Wolfgang Martin of Wolfgang Martin Team<\/a>, Thomas Otter<\/a> (@Vendorprisy) of Gartner, and Oliver Bussmann (@sapcio<\/a>), a great IT leader<\/a> and passionate believer in the power of social media<\/a> and mobile devices<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I participated on a panel at CeBIT last week, talking about \u201cGame Changers in Today\u2019s Business\u201d, talking about BusinessObjects BI \/ EIM 4.0, and featuring Jake Klein, the project lead for SAP HANA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2846,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[36,100,160,171,198,204,233,426,560,595,799,911],"class_list":["post-12195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-sapcebit","tag-analytics","tag-bi","tag-bi4","tag-business-analytics","tag-business-intelligence","tag-cebit","tag-eim4","tag-hana","tag-in-memory","tag-panel","tag-sap"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/timoelliott.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/panelcover.jpg?fit=668%2C300&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3X9RF-3aH","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/timoelliott.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/timoelliott.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/timoelliott.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timoelliott.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timoelliott.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/timoelliott.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timoelliott.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/timoelliott.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timoelliott.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timoelliott.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
