SAP Tech Ed online
For all you SAP heads out there if you did not get to TechEd this year, or even if you did go, you can now purchase DVD’s of the events via the SAP Developer Network. On other SAP related items each time I visit SDN I find all sorts of interesting pieces of information. SuchContinue reading “SAP Tech Ed online”
Manageing digital identity & trust
Just listened to Phil Becker being interviews by Doug Kaye over at IT Conversation. Phil is one of (maybe the) organisers of the Digital ID World conference that was recently held in Denver this year.

Vote testing
I have just been reading Tantek’s Thoughts (via Scoble) where Tantek provides some feedback on Scoble’s Information Overload session at BloggerCon.

Microsoft to do payroll in Office?
Hmm, not sure what to make of this. Found this article on Information Week about Microsoft partnering with ADP in the Us to delivery payroll services to small business. (Via eHRMS) I am sure this is going to raise some eyebrows in the SME payroll market place, especially in the Australian marketplace if they decideContinue reading “Microsoft to do payroll in Office?”
Baby boomers and workforce applications
Over the last 5 years or so when deploying workforce applications, such as Employee Self Service, I have regularly dealt with organisations who are concerned that their workforce does not know how to use computers or have such limited skills that deployment will be and issue.
