Joining Forces
One for all? Once, perhaps. But times have changed. Real innovation is no longer driven by individual companies working under their own steam. Today, collaboration is the name of the game – and pooling ideas is the key to achieving new successes.
The Customer President
As president of Adobe Japan, Garrett Ilg experienced firsthand how SAP brought his business greater margins. Convinced, he took over the top spot at SAP Japan in September 2008, a day after the Lehman Brothers collapse. One year later and undeterred by prolonged crises, Ilg is determined to do for customers what SAP has done for his previous employer.

Windows 7: Compatibility with Citrix and SAP?
By: Benjamin Blaume
Microsoft launched its much heralded operating system Windows 7 on October 22nd, 2009. SAP.info reveals whether business users can make a smooth transition.
Citrix-Client runs well on Windows 7
With the advent of Windows 7, Microsoft is now closing the less-than-successful chapter of Windows Vista. Vista was released on January 30, 2007 and, after two years on the market, only a few companies switched to it from Windows XP. According to a current study by North American reseller Softchoice, Vista runs on just 3% of the 450,000 company PCs it surveyed. Windows XP – Vista’s predecessor and now eight years old – is installed on 88% of all the computers.

Unlike Windows Vista, Windows 7 has been garnering praise from all sides since its first beta version. On July 15, 2009, a discounted version was put on the shelves at the German consumer electronics superstore MediaMarkt, as well as at Amazon and other stores, for €50 instead of €200. It sold out within a matter of minutes. Naturally, business users are also curious and keen to try out the new operating system.
