Hi! Welcome to DataXstream's LiveBlog. We will be liveblogging events from the SAP TECHED 09 conference in Phoenix, Arizona.

    Thanks for checking in to the SAP TechEd 09 Demo Jam. I hope you had as much fun as we did.

    And, in a surprise to noone, SAP – No Hands (the beer guys) win in a frothy, delicious, ice-cold, refreshing landslide.

    Now Chip is discussing how the video of TechEd is available online. That is all fine and good, but you can’t get the witty commentary from yours truly that way…

     
  • Craig Stasila: 8:21 pm on October 13, 2009

    SAP TechEd 09 has 3,500 attendees. A smaller group than in past, but a pretty good crowd, indeed.

    The 2nd round of voting completes

     
  • Craig Stasila: 8:18 pm on October 13, 2009

    With a tired, alcohol fueled crowd, one would guess that the beer guys have the inside track. The final three will be judged by head-to-head-to-head cheering.

     
  • Craig Stasila: 8:17 pm on October 13, 2009

    And the final three are:
    + Sensor Monitoring for Smart Energy Saving
    + Project Yowie
    + SAP – No Hands (the beer guys)

    Chip & Craig must now vamp as the results are tabulated….

    And the winner of the iPod is: Samir Ghandi.  Congratulations on getting an iPod Touch 32GB.

     
  • Craig Stasila: 8:14 pm on October 13, 2009

    That does it for the demo. Now Chip & Craig are on stage to give away an iPod. For all of those reading at home, sorry to burst your bubble, but you did NOT win.

    Now one click of the cost center in SAP will confirm all the POs. Very slick demo AND 1:10 under time!

    The app uses the iPhone camera for goods receipt confirmation verification documentation.

     
  • Craig Stasila: 8:11 pm on October 13, 2009

    Another iPhone application is demoed. This one is for processing Goods Receipts for purchase orders. MIGO via iPhone!

    The last demo will show a simplified purchasing process that will allow 3-click purchasing.
