Sapphire Now and ASUG Annual Conference 2011 is drawing nearer, and what better way to prepare for the event than to speak with a recognized SAP analyst, enterprise software industry expert and someone who’s attended at least nine Sapphire shows: Ray Wang.

Ray is currently a Principal Analyst and CEO at Constellation Research Group and is the author of the blog A Software Insider’s Point of View.

ASUGNews.com’s Thomas Wailgum recently caught up with Ray via Skype, and they talked about whether SAP can keep up the momentum from Sapphire Now 2010, the important themes for this year’s event, the implications of recent SAP executive departures, and Ray’s insider tips for getting the most value out of your time at the event.
