			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Top Workplaces 2011</p>
<p>San Jose Mercury News (USA) &#8211; 20/06/2011</p>
<p>SAP has been named among the Top Workplaces in the San Francisco Bay Area by the San Jose Mercury News. Success is measured in many ways, but the Top Work Places clearly view helping others and being active in their communities among their primary responsibilities. Some have taken their efforts global, others choose to support local renowned service and charitable organizations or have designed philanthropic programs which are closely linked to their business category or service. SAP Labs in Palo Alto recently hosted a &#8220;Volapalooza&#8221; on campus, where 14 community partners participated in a fair organized to showcase volunteer opportunities. More than 50 percent of Palo Alto-based employees participate in SAP-sponsored service activities throughout the year and have contributed 3,917 volunteer hours, according to the company, which was ranked seventh in the Top Work Places survey. Additionally, SAP Labs is a sponsor of local technology-inspired and community building events, including the Tech Challenge at the San Jose Tech Museum, Habitat for Humanity and a Rebuilding Together day. SAP Labs contributed funds to 16 local non-profit organizations in 2010. The company&#8217;s &#8220;micro volunteering&#8221; allows employees to volunteer short amounts of time while on the job and has a &#8220;month of service&#8221; each October when employees are encouraged to volunteer locally.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wireless Week (USA) &#8211; 13/06/2011</p>
<p>Enterprise mobility these days is anything but business as usual. IT departments are increasingly supporting smart phones and tablets. Much to the chagrin of CIOs and IT departments, business users are discovering that their personal devices can run common applications purchased at consumer-facing app stores that are even more sophisticated, yet easier to use, than the ones their company endorses. Add to that the power of moving enterprise to the cloud and you have the perfect storm for the new face of business computing. The popular catch phrase for this changing landscape is &#8220;the consumerization of the enterprise.&#8221; Jack Chawla, senior director of technology marketing of mobile business with SAP, says consumer devices and applications have the jump on existing enterprise solutions. Chawla describes an environment where consumers are looking at the $1.99 spreadsheet app they just download from the App Store and it&#8217;s actually better than the one being offered by their company. &#8220;That&#8217;s kind of a trend that&#8217;s happening in the industry. The workers generally get better technology on the consumer side than on the business side,&#8221; Chawla says, adding that it&#8217;s &#8220;becoming very challenging for the IT CIO to keep up with what their employees are doing on the consumer side.&#8221; Chawla makes a distinction between deeply integrated apps, like CRM systems and others that tackle a single task. He says it&#8217;s those simple apps that just do one thing really well that employees are downloading from the consumer app stores and then using for work (i.e. order notification, expense reports, tracking, etc.). SAP has taken notice of that trend. &#8220;We just released 19 applications, each does one task really well. If you kind of dig deeper, what we are doing is following the consumer mobile model,&#8221; he says.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Photos: Inside SAP’s Cloud App Store</strong></p>
<p><strong>silicon.com, March 08, 2011 (Online)</strong></p>
<p>SAP&#8217;s app store for SAP Business ByDesign will provide a marketplace where apps and other add-ons can be purchased to enhance the functionality of SAP Business ByDesign services. SAP describes the store as a place where users of SAP Business ByDesign can find new &#8220;applications, mash-ups, new forms, reports and add-ons&#8221; for the service. In the beta store, the different add-ons are grouped by industry, internal business area and solution type. The SAP store is expected to launch in mid-2011. Users will be able to access it from the SAP Business ByDesign user interface, from the SAP Business ByDesign Business Center or through a web browser. SAP says the idea of the store is that users can find the add-on they require, install it and start using it with their SAP Business ByDesign service within minutes.</p>
