Sapphire Posts Are Not Over Yet

May 9, 2008 8:43 AM | Categories: Spend Management

I got a couple of emails thanking me for my coverage of Sapphire this week. But guys and gals, I'm not done ... I'm still pulling together a few longer posts that should weave together the major themes from the event along with SAP's SRM 7.0 highlights and direction. So stay tuned. More next week. There's a lot more to discuss.
