Hands On: Constellation’s latest Beta
By: Benjamin Blaume
Constellation is SAP’s contribution to the trend known as collaboration software. Like the highly praised Google Wave it attempts to transport the advantages of the Web 2.0 into the enterprise environment. We had the opportunity to take a closer look at the latest version, which is currently in a closed beta.
Office 2.0: working together with collaboration software
Software like Constellation brings Web 2.0 functionality into an everyday enterprise environment. With collaboration software, several people can work on a project at the same time – or at different times and in different time zones. Dates, facts, and opinions can be exchanged like in a Web forum and all the information can be retained for later viewing.

Dubbed by the IT press as a “Google Wave killer,” Constellation comprises two components: a cloud-based decision-making tool, which runs on the user’s Web browser, and an on-premises installation, which is located on the company’s server. The cloud part is code-named 12sprints and is currently in a closed beta phase. It is slated to be released by mid-2010. The company (on-site) installation is set to follow in the second half of the year.
