SAP SAPPHIRE 07 VIENNA Post 1 – Here I come

Published by Manoj Ranaweera on May 12, 2007

For some unknown reason, SAP is sponsoring me to attend their European gig, SAP SAPPHIRE 07 in Vienna from 14th to 16th of May 2007. I am no A-list blogger. In fact, since changing the URL, I have struggled to get into the top 200,000 of the world wide blogs tracked by Technorati.

So why did SAP invite me?

  1. Is this because Oracle was a partner of ebdex and SAP was not?
  2. Or is it because I registered on SAP enquiring about a possible partnership opportunity?
  3. Or is it because I am perhaps the only blogger ranting about e-invoicing, EIPP and document exchanges? There are few well known blogs on sourcing but not on my subject area, as far as I can figure out.

I am chuffed to join a pool of well known bloggers attending this event. Here is the list:

  1. Axel Angeli – The Mentors of the Service Oriented Architecture
  2. Craig Cmehil – Community Evangelist at SAP AG – Podcasting + live video
  3. Maggie Fox – Social Media Group
  4. James Governor – MonkChips
  5. Dennis Howlett – AccMan
  6. Thomas Otter – Vendorprisey
  7. Prashanth Rai – CIO Weblog
  8. Sigurd Rinde – Forthcoming
  9. David Terrar – Business Two Zero
  10. Charlie Wood – Moonwatcher
  11. Dale Vile – Freeform Dynamics Blog
  12. Manoj Ranaweera – Manoj Ranaweera EIPP Blog – oh that’s me!

Now, I must admit, I know Dennis Howlett and David Terrar very well and have met Sig once. Most of the others are new to me. These days, I do not get much time to visit other’s blogs let alone do blogging. I spent most of the time in Bourne End where Causeway Technologies is based at, and the Travel Inn I stays in has no access to the Internet. Nice excuse, hah!

I nicked following links from Craig’s blog. They should help you to track the event.

It will no doubt be a blast to attend this event. Will blog more once I had time to absorb the programme.
