The SAP Network Global will bring all worldwide SAP consultants to share knowledge, configuration experience and job postings with internetworking opportunities – All SAP
It has had all the ingredients of an epic Silicon Valley collision between fierce rivals. Billions of dollars at stake. Powerful, high-profile executives at the epicenter. And accusations of technology theft that strike at the heart of the software industry's culture.
