You will find the same results as in your normal Google search, but the ads are SAP specific…

Perhaps somebody could help me to improve my understanding of the new search feature

The state of Enterprise 2.0

InfoWorld and Baseline have overviews of announcements made at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston this week. It’s no longer just the upstarts flogging Enterprise 2.0– now IBM, Microsoft, SAP and other incumbents have figured out that the social, remixed Web is not a passing fad defined by MySpace and Facebook and mashup artists.

ERP innovation: SAP, Microsoft lead the way

“After a down period, ERP innovation is back. And it’s being led by a couple of industry giants: SAP and Microsoft.

The frenzied consolidation that gripped the enterprise resource planning (ERP) market in recent years is by no means complete, but as customers demand better usability and flexibility, and easier access to their data, the light of innovation has once again begun to shine, according to a recent Forrester Research study.

“Consolidation does make innovation difficult,” said Paul Hamerman, vice president of enterprise applications at Cambridge, Mass.-based Forrester, “because [companies] that have absorbed a lot of ERP vendors over the past couple years [have to] go through a lot of product rationalization, salesforce rationalization [and] overhead rationalization. So it does tend to distract companies from building software.”
