It would be interesting to know the results of the platform choice. I wonder why it wouldn't be Harmony after all of the development costs that have been previously invested? I also think that SAP could utilize some thought leadership around the LMS module of the ERP itself. For SAP to really show some Work/Enterprise 2.0 thinking, the Harmony idea needs to include both formal and informal learning concepts. SAP needs to combine the elements of social networking with social learning, such that you can friend, follow, link and access your subject matter experts and colleagues ... in addition to ... having the ability to formally register into a 'course' ... as well as ... being able to submit your own learning expertise content via social means. The training organization is dead. The working organization is alive. (check out a small example at Sun - https://slx.sun.com of a way in which content is being shared, ranked, rated, discussed, etc. -- this should be part of SAP's social learning / social networking strategy) SAP has a job to do and align the enterprise/work 2.0 concepts I speak of with the next-generation ERP, with that of the archaic LMS module. Failing to do so will result in many customers leaving the LMS module of SAP in the dust, and embarking on implementation of social applications that include the points I mentioned above. So many customers would easily implement a social learning/networking module due to the other modules already in existence at an organization. If you ever make it back to Vancouver, let me know. dp Hey Timo, long time no chat.
