  9. SAP CEO's take on 8 Myths of Software-as-a-Service · · Score: 3, Insightful
    In an interview with CNET, the CEO of SAP, Henning Kagermann replied to " With the success of Salesforce.com, everyone is talking about on-demand applications. Where are you on that?" by saying:

    "We have not changed our strategy. We have this mixed environment and run a hybrid model. We do it for good reason. Our customers want flexibility, so, over time, they can make the decision to source us in, or upscale the functionality and integrate us into the back end.

    You can do this on-demand for certain areas and certain functions, but not for everything. Everybody starts with salesforce automation because it makes sense since it's not very structured. It's simple and more office-like. But the more you come from this type (of system) to the core of CRM (customer relationship management), the more difficult it will become to do it on-demand. People don't want to share the data with others."

  13. Re:The spelling correctors are still here? on Border Security System Left Open · · Score: 1
    ..all the real people out there determined the meaning

    My point is not the inability to understand the meaning due to the typo, but the lack of interest shown by the editor. Your intelligence did not help you figure that? All the real people did.

  21. Re:the real reason.. on ICANN Meeting Puts Off XXX Domain Again · · Score: 1
    That they keep putting this off is because of the embarassment it would cause when .xxx sites outnumber all .com .net .biz and .org sites put together.

    That might not be true because unless they make it madatory that all adult websites shift to xxx domain, none would shift. They have well established presence in the com world, and the capturing of xxx would be just another domain buying where xxx page would eventually redirect to the .com site.

    If they did make it a rule to send adult business to .xxx, it would take a long time because they would resist by asking for more time for a smoooooth transition.
