Hi and welcome to episode 40 of The ERP Minute. I am your host, Rebekah McCabe.

Last week, SAP announced that their Annual General Meeting of Shareholder of SAP SE approved all proposals of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board, while also reelecting Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Hasso Plattner. Plattner expressed his excitement, stating, “It is the privilege of my life to have been able to create, shape, grow, and lead this company. I am looking forward to continuing to do so in the coming two years.”

We have seen major changes since Mr. Plattner has taken over with SAP, especially in the mid-market space, and we expect to see even more activity as SAP is redefining itself to be a broader organization across multiple market sizes.

In the latest chapter of the seven-year partnership between Feeding America and the Tableau Foundation, Feeding America is using Salesforce’s Tableau software to gather and analyze data to understand where people with food insecurity live, what they need, what they prefer, and how often they need it. As part of this data-driven approach, Tableau will assist Feeding America in creating a massive, near real-time data set as a single source of truth for the entire network on the needs of over 38 million individuals experiencing food insecurity across the country.

While what Tableau is offering to Feeding America is undoubtedly making an impact, we challenge more enterprise software vendors to step-up and take more social responsibility especially given their larger recurring revenue bases and free cash flow.

This week, Epicor will be hosting their “Epicor Insights 2022”, allowing individuals the opportunity to engage with Epicor product experts and business leaders, industry thought leaders, and peers in the ERP industry. Be sure to lookout for content from EAG as we cover the conference, bringing you insights directly from the convention floor.

Finally, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has attained Department of Defense Impact Level 5 Provisional Authorization for additional services, including Oracle Autonomous Database and Integration Cloud. Now customers in the defense and intelligence community can benefit from a growing list of secure cloud services to run their sensitive workloads. Oracle’s Federal customers will benefit from Oracle cloud offerings being thoroughly reviewed and approved by leading technology officials.

Having enterprise application vendors that have the ability to do this level of testing on their infrastructure continues to be a huge differentiator for Oracle.
