Today’s guests are Brian Roach, managing director, Regulated Industries, Douglas Ross, VP, State & Local/Higher Education, Michael Clark, senior director, Alliances for Utilities, at <a href="http://go.sap.com/index.html" target="_blank">SAP</a>.

Many listeners don’t realize that SAP has been around since 1972 and is taking its successful building blocks and re-structuring them around new concepts of flexibility and range.

In the beginning SAP was known for “real time” information. With the influx of data today, this essential concept is becoming even more important and SAP is addressing that concern. Each of the three guests takes a different aspect of that new found vitality.

Brian Roach works primarily with large federal agencies to make them more efficient. One aspect of innovation he mentions is a concept called HANA, an in-memory relational database that gives users tremendous speed and many kinds of analytics.

Doug Ross expanded on that capability by discussing aspects of SAP as applied to large education institutions.

Michael Clark related on how new technology from SAP can assist a wide range of large organizations. He talked about collecting massive amounts of data from windmills. — Brian Roach, Doug Ross and Michael Clark with SAP join host John Gilroy to discuss how innovation can help federal agencies improve IT systems and save money.
