Keynote speaker Vishal Sikka, CTO and SAP Board Member was talking about stack war and what other companies in the market do. “Nobody is looking for stacks, people are looking for solutions for their existing problems.” Continuous improvements and innovations have to be brought into existing landscapes.

First Blog about SAP TechEd 2010
Check out this blog from Dennis Howlett at ZDNet. While being in Orlando, Dennis managed to get up in the middle of the night to watch Virtual TechEd live. He then had his blog published only one hour after the keynote. That is impressive! Thanks Dennis.
