"Cloud" is at the top of my hit list of meaningless IT buzzwords. Although perhaps meaningless is a bit harsh. It's more the mechanics of the discourse that lead us to speak about cloud, but often counterproductively.

E3 magazine has selected the most exciting companies to feature in our SAP Start-up Spotlight series. In today's article, we present Woocar, a SaaS platform that aims to reduce traffic accidents by more than 90 percent and is connected to the SAP Logistics Business Network.

2004 was not a good year for SAP: The complete takeover of the consulting subsidiary SAP Systems Integration from Dresden into the Walldorf-based parent company became a lasting loss of knowledge in the areas of outsourcing, hosting, SaaS and ultimately cloud computing.
