SAP announces Business Suite 7

There was a press conference here in the SAP New York office yesterday. Seems I was the only one who didn't wear a suit. Oops. (to be fair, I'm not on the Marketing email DL so I can plead ignorance).  Anyway, SAP announced the release of the latest version of its flagship Business Suite solution, Business Suite 7. Here's a video of the event. Co-CEO Leo Apotheker speaks near the beginning, followed by SAP Board Member Jim Hagemann Snabe who lead the development of BS 7. Finally, there is a customer panel.

Here are a couple of press write ups:

Also, a few of the Enterprise Irregulars were here and/or blogged about it:
Larry Dignan - Is SAP really done with ’scary upgrades’ and ’sleepless night’ projects?
Dennis also did some cool stuff with CoveritLive here

Also, in response to a question from Vinnie during the Q&A there were some interesting comments from Fortune 500 execs on the iPhone in the enterprise.
