Wow, seems like SAP is going to launch some very cool stuff in 2010: Constellation\/12Sprints and Koda (all codenames). What can we tell about these two tools? Well, not very much yet. There are some articles<\/a> on the internet and a short demonstration video which gives us some clues. You can watch the video below.<\/p>\n

Constellation<\/strong> seems to be some sort of collaborative workspace, that allows its users to share data, discuss it and make decisions together. To me this idea looks a bit like Google Wave, but now tailored to the decision making processes within enterprises.<\/p>\n

This is what SAP says about Constellation:<\/p>\n

\n

Imagine a virtual war room
\nIt’s not just a place where things get discussed. It’s where things get done. \u2028Invite the right people. Bring in the pertinent data. And choose the most informed course of action with the help of pre-defined, interactive decision-making tools. It\u2019s all built in. Everything you need to get everyone on the same page \u2014 finally under one roof.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At 12Sprints.com<\/a> you can sign-up to get access to the beta.<\/p>\n

\n

Kona<\/strong> is a web-based business intelligence platform\/tool, which gives you access to dashboards and reports with drill-down functionality. Also the SAP BusinessObjects Explorer will be a part of Kona. Data and graphs from Kona can be exported to Constellation.<\/p>\n

This leaves me with a some questions:
\n– Why introduce two separate platforms and not one integrated platform?
\n– How open will these platforms be? Can we make our own Robots\/Gadgets?
\n– What about Crystal Reports, Web Intelligence, Xcelsius and Pioneer? Will they also be integrated in Kona?
\n– And hey, what about the BusinessObjects InfoView portal environment? Will it be ditched?<\/p>\n
