The analysts at Gartner invented it: bimodal IT. Two states simultaneously in one system:<\/p>\n

Mode one is the traditional way - slow, safe, evolutionary. IT with a strong CIO who looks at security, budget and stability.<\/p>

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

Mode two is creative chaos. Here, everyone gets a say and the CIO has to orchestrate it. What is good today may be deleted from the hard drive tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Development and application happen simultaneously. No longer do the big eat the small (mode one), but the fast overtake the slow (mode two).<\/p>\n

In the IT scene, the new Gartner paradigm is very much in vogue: planning is replaced by error. This bimodal IT is not unlike an anti-authoritarian parenting style: The CIO knows exactly what is necessary (parent role), but the users (child role) are allowed to do what they want.<\/p>\n

SAP's existing customers know exactly what is good and right. From a long R\/2 and R\/3 suffering experience, many have arrived in a safe haven with ERP 6.0.<\/p>\n

The Odyssey seemed to be over, the existing customers were no longer to be sufferers, as poor Odysseus was during his odyssey. For a short time, it seemed that Walldorf might be a happy place. But then the schizophrenic spirit of SAP awoke!<\/p>\n

While many existing SAP customers were enjoying the R\/3 Enterprise successor ERP 6.0, new nasties were being invented in Walldorf.<\/p>\n

SAP did not want to accept a satisfaction mode and increased the annual maintenance fee to 22 percent, recommended after ESA first SOA then ESR, built a new database and made it the platform, finally they presented the successor of Business Suite 7 with the slightly confusing name S\/4 - an absolutely erratic series: R\/2, R\/3, ERP 6.0, S\/7 and now S\/4.<\/p>\n

The due diligence (mode one) of SAP's existing customers is contrasted by the disruptive innovations (mode two) of the Walldorf-based company. Bimodal IT has been around in the SAP community for over ten years!<\/p>\n

People have become accustomed to the condition that while corporate IT must be a stable and reliable factor, SAP is allowed to indulge in every foolishness and revolution.<\/p>\n

The mathematician defines a bimodal distribution as a probability or frequency distribution with two modes. The probability of encountering schizophrenic behavior in Walldorf is very high:<\/p>\n

Oracle or Hana, on premise or cloud computing, Java or Abap, S\/7 or S\/4, Hana on Intel Xeon or IBM Power, etc. etc.<\/p>\n

The latest prank from Walldorf: S\/4 is not a legal successor to any existing SAP ERP software. Accordingly, there is no sure path from A to B. What works in mode one does not necessarily apply to mode two.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

What analysts predict for the IT scene is tradition for the SAP community.
