AccMan TalkBack: SAP CEO’s hilarious quote

  • TheBizofKnowledge · 3 years ago
    I came across this post while I was browsing through Technorati. I just wanted to leave a comment to say that I'm not an accountant but even I know about things like WinWeb!!! That guy definitely needs to get a clue.

    We should take heed.

    WordReference describes a "man of deeds" as someone inclined to act first and think later. Seems to fit the bill.

    I have sent a copy of your article to SAP for the attention of Henning Kagermann.

    Oh, well, McKinsey is even worse, questioning accounting on the web at all, free or $$$ :-)

    Nice work, but don't you reckon Kagermanm was referring to multi-user accounting, rather than single user? Given SAP's focus, I would have thought this was the case, and from what limited knowldge I have of WinWeb I thought if you want more than a single user license then it's not free. Maybe he should have said "it will take a while for people to offer free multi-user accounting on the web" or words to that effect? Or can you get that free too?
    Nice one curmudgeon ;-)

    No multi-user freebies (yet) but you never know...see you at TechED Jason?
