After each day of SAPPHIRE Now 2012, “the guys” aka “the fantastic five” aka “insert your nickname here” gathered to review the day’s news, meetings, and event chatter. The five (Dennis, Jon, John Appleby, Vijay Vijayasankar, and Harald Reiter) were grouped by SAP blogger relations into a series of candid executive meetings with SAP Executive Board members so there was always plenty to riff on. The “wrap shoots” were not the most scripted shoots you’ll see, but they did capture the energy of the event and the questions raised, if not always answered.
