[SAP Developer Network Blogs](https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4133 "SAP Developer Network Blogs")

Smart move, Curt. SAP is going to be a rich hunting ground as it moves further into unstructured data, and starts focusing on [sidewalks and cafe’s rather than power plants](http://www.redmonk.com/jgovernor/archives/001972.html). Its good to see another analyst who realises it makes sense to have a conversation with developers, not just CIOs.

I think we’ll see a lot more of this in future. Experts, industry analysts and the like, are going to embed themselves in other communities, rather than trying to drive all interactions back to a mothership.
