A conversation with SAP’s Shai Agassi

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

The audio from my interview yesterday with Shai Agassi, one of seven people on SAP’s executive board, is now up on Podtech. Shai has a unique view of the world of business (SAP is used by most of the world’s biggest businesses) and we talk about the trends he’s seeing, along with a little bit about what SAP announced today at its TechEd developer confab.

It’s about six minutes long, so won’t take you a lot of time to get through.

Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993. ++++++++ SPEAKER PITCH: Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV. This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #2: "The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law." Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world. He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world. He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small. ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #3: "Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?" As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world. What role does augmented reality play in both worlds? Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

  1. How will you continue to develop the relationship you have with Shai? He shares information about the future and present. Truly a visionary in the world today. Although my background doesn’t take me as deep into the tech talk as both you and Shai I place great value in the ability to think forward and expend considerable energy towards ideas that bring us forward in the world. Thanks for sharing the information with the world. Visit us when you have 2 minutes. I think we have something to share. http://www.thinking-forward.com

  5. I’ve already complained about it in the comments for the last post you wrote on SAP and I don’t want to ramble… but why oh why are the SAP executive blogs only available with prior registration? I thought the interview was very interesting, which makes the lack of open access to the executive blogs even more frustrating!

  7. Robert,

    thanks for the interview. But I have to agree with your post on enteerprise education – Shai basically gave you his standard story, you need to go back and ask some more unusual stuff. This was just the press release version.

    Cornelius,

    while I agree about the registration issues, I personally think the exec blogs are a lot less interesting than the stuff you can learn on interviews like this or Shai’s appearances on shows like the Gillmor Gang or IT Conversations.
    Also, I’d recommend subscribing to SDN – we rock over there 😉

  13. James Governor – let’s talk collaboration. From your comment I wonder about the humor in your tone or if indeed collaboration is a topic you enjoy delving into. I will venture over to your blog and take a look. Take a look at thinking-foward when you have a few minutes.

  15. James, I’d love to!

    Chris, I’ve interviewed the Dynamics team several times over on Channel 9.

    Frank: agreed on getting more outrageous stuff. You never get that kind of interview at a conference when the PR team gives you five minutes to talk. That’s exactly why I like an hour to really get to know someone.
