After being at the show for a couple of days, below are a few key points we would like to share with you. Some of these thoughts may be of interest to your business now... or in the future:

Mobile Solutions - A big push for mobile solutions on all levels:

• Utilizing the iPhone for BI reporting in sales
• Super nice, rich interfaces

Environment - Keynote speakers Sir Richard Branson and former vice president Al Gore expressed their concerns for the environment and how we, as IT can make a difference.

• Finding solutions with less impact on the environment through technology
• Reducing our current imprint on environment
• And a great lesson from Sir Richard Branson, there are always opportunities in any market.

Portal Sessions ASUG

• Attendance was certainly up for SAP NetWeaver Portal sessions over last year with many even being full
• Quality was up on these sessions too - valuable content and great insight from a wide variety of portal backgrounds.

Overall - Just a few things key points we could not help but notice:

• Attendance was up over last year according to the ASUG staff we talked to and our observation
• The SAP Portal space seems to be gaining some momentum since the start of 2010. This is good news for us!
• Good to see companies being more focused on the end user experience rather than technology
