Hello Bill, Hej Jim,
A word from an Ambassador of SAP customers…
In your Open letter to SAP customers you say that…
Customers are the very center of our strategy
Credibility is difficult to gain…
easy to lose…
and practically impossible to get back…
During the last 3 years,
I have spent most of my time and energy trying to make the SAP corporate strategy focused on the customer.
This has been an impossible mission, because at SAP, the meaning of customer relationship is completely misunderstood.
On the other hand, most SAP customers no longer care about their relationship with SAP…
It’s not about the software, it’s all about the people.
Following the Hollywood Oscars Ceremony, time for the SAP Oscars. Stars are everywhere.
And the winners are:

A minute of silence instead of applause.
Errare humanum est, sed perseverare diabolicum!
(‘to err is human, but to persist (in the mistake) is diabolical’)
The key to the future is hidden in here: Léo Apotheker Beyond The Mirror.
Hint: consider this like a book. Chronology is important; reading one episode, or just the beginning and the end, will not make sense. As for the language barrier, I’m sure it’s not a roadblock.
We must be the change we wish to see in the world…
Yes, but nobody is expected to do the impossible.
Sincerely,
Advisor to Business Owners and Executive Boards
SAP Expert who helped build SAP from the early days
