It must be a chaotic time with my dear colleagues who have their CRM<\/span>-Applications, E-mail<\/span>-systems and whole ERP<\/span>-applications have moved to the cloud.<\/p>\n

\"You're in a good mood again today,\" even the best of wives observes, sitting down with me to read my monthly E-3 column first.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I am happy to explain to her what happened: Exact details are not yet known, but the fact is that American intelligence services are not only massively interested in the Data streams<\/span> at Internet<\/span> but have also found ways to make these Data<\/span> without much fuss.<\/p>\n

\"Yeah, yeah,\" my wife says knowingly, \"I've heard that too. I'm just curious what they want to find in my Facebook account?\"<\/p>\n

I'm not sure it's just about countering terrorist actions. In the Internet<\/span> can also find other interesting things and since Cloud computing<\/span> there is sometimes the entire E-mail<\/span>-traffic of a company.<\/p>\n

Industrial espionage has probably been around since Cloud computing<\/span> has become much easier. In the press at the moment you only read about Social media<\/span> and mentions companies like Facebook, Google and Microsoft<\/span>.<\/p>\n

But Google, Microsoft<\/span>, Apple<\/span>, salesforce and also SAP<\/span> offer Internet services that work with NSA<\/span>-technology can be tapped.<\/p>\n

It is not yet known whether the Prism spying program will also affect business applications or only Social Media<\/span>-Applications.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, it would technically make no difference whether a Facebook account is tapped or a company's project plan in the Microsoft Cloud.<\/p>\n

Critical factor - Cloud<\/h3>\n

I had never thought of the dimensions that are currently becoming public through Prism. But my shyness towards Cloud computing<\/span> I will not deny.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to talk to my colleague from Hilti on the phone yet. He has lifted many business-critical applications into the cloud with SAP Business ByDesign.<\/p>\n

Now I don't believe that the U.S. NSA<\/span> direct access to SAP<\/span>-data centers, but what is not officially permitted may at least be technically conceivable.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, it is a vision of horror for me to CRM<\/span>- and mailServer<\/span> a Cloud Computing<\/span>-providers such as Google or Microsoft.<\/p>\n

Already in my column from last June I wrote about the madness of a Hana<\/span> Enterprise Cloud and many colleagues have agreed with me in both senses:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Never move the corporate books and business critical applications to the cloud<\/li>\n
  2. No confidence regarding Cloud computing<\/span> for SAP<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Our esteemed Walldorf<\/span> have consistently made every effort over the past few years to Data Center<\/span>-Knowledge<\/span> dismantled and sold, among others to T-Systems<\/span>.<\/p>\n

    Now, of all things Hasso Plattner<\/span> and Vishal Sikka make believe that corporate data in a SAP<\/span>-cloud are safe.<\/p>\n

    There are SAP<\/span>-partners such as itelligence, Freudenberg IT, T-Systems<\/span> or all-for-one, which in recent years have consistently invested in ITOutsourcing<\/span> and Hosting<\/span> have invested.<\/p>\n

    There may be a certain cloud competence here. However, as long as Vishal Sikka with Andreas von Bechtolsheim is the Hana<\/span> Enterprise Cloud presents, I am very concerned about data security.<\/p>\n

    Not everywhere where Cloud computing<\/span> on it, must also be a NSA<\/span>-hacked cloud cuckoo home be present.<\/p>\n

    My schadenfreude is only for my naive colleagues who, without any doubt, have been able to understand the entire E-mail<\/span>-traffic have moved to the cloud.<\/p>\n

    What happens now with the CRM<\/span>-Data<\/span> in the salesforce cloud?<\/p>\n

    Is this CRM<\/span>-Cloud Computing<\/span> also already from the NSA<\/span> been corrupted?<\/p>\n

    How much ridicule did I have to endure? I was called a backward and dithering CIO just because I didn't blindly strive for cloud cuckoo land.<\/p>\n

    But I am the Cloud Computing<\/span>-Technology<\/span> in no way averse: Private Cloud computing<\/span> is an important and correct option for virtualization.<\/p>\n

    And we are seriously discussing building a private Hana Enterprise Cloud for our Business Suite. I have already received corresponding signals in the direction of Gerd Oswald<\/span> and Bernd Leukert dropped off because the concept and the technology are convincing.<\/p>\n

    What there certainly won't be, however, is an Internet connection to my private cloud cuckoo's home for the NSA<\/span>not even for Google.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
