SAPPHIRE: Wolfgang Hilpert on SAP BPM | The Intelligent Enterprise Blog

by Volker Weber

I'm picking and choosing my sessions here at SAPPHIRE carefully, in part because I have some prearranged meetings specifically about BPM. I had a chance one-on-one meeting with Wolfgang Hilpert, SVP of NetWeaver BPM, this afternoon; funnily enough, just after I attended Ginger Gatling's session this morning, I had lunch in the press area, and when I mentioned that I'd seen the session on the new SAP BPM, three pairs of ears at the table swiveled around. These three, who I didn't know (nametags, unfortunately, hang below the level of the table when seated), gave me a light grilling on my opinions of what I had seen; although I figured that they worked for SAP, it wasn't until they stood up that I saw Hilpert's name tag.

A developer asks: What should the Notes desktop really look like?

by Volker Weber

Are you still using the same desktop workspace in Notes that you were 10 years ago? Truth be told, it is a desktop paradigm that even looks ugly when compared to the Mac Finder interface in 1991. Although there have been attempts a replacement, most of us still use this dog of a UI with 32x32 pixel 16 color icons set into square blocks about 3 times that size. We can even organize these application icons any way we like - as long as we like gray on gray in a grid pattern. We can even have folder tabs to group your little square into families.

Why do we keep using this? Because the alternatives have been worse. Instead of focusing on what desktop users want out of an interface, IBM has for years combined mistaken approaches together into a huge waste of opportunity.

When ILUG and DNUG are not enough

lotus technical conference

So we have the ILUG and DNUG conferences at exactly the same date. That does not mean that IBM could not squeeze another event targeted at the same audience into the very same week.

[Thanks, Frank]
