ZDNet interview with Shai Agassi

As a run up to SAP TechEd, fellow Irregular Dan Farber has posted a video interview he did recently with Shai Agassi, president of SAP's Product and Technology Group (essentially the development organization).

...he[Agassi] said that the software industry is in a transition period in which the fundamental rules governing platforms are changing...."When that book is written, no company will be able to sustain itself without this technology[SOA]."

Given Oracle's claims around wins versus SAP during their Q4 earnings call, I'm glad this was mentioned:

he knows of no company that has converted from SAP to Oracle...
