geneva airport
On the way back to London last night, quite by chance I ran into Hamish, my old highschool buddy/current SAP rockstar consultant, in Geneva airport. So we sat and had a quick 15-minute beer together, before I had to go run catch my flight.
Hamish tells the story quite well here.
[Bonus Link:] Hamish talks about Thingamy vs SAP:
It would be possible to replicate every function inside SAP in Thingamy eventually, but the problem with being a cheaper option for the existing commodity is that being cheapest is a very hard way to make a living. But if you could use Thingamy to generate a better business or product, then the sale of the organisation, or the value of the organisation’s future cash-flow is in part based on the business model built into the Thingamy software.
Now, how Sig licences that value is a question for another time.
[Disclosure: I have equity in Thingamy.]

That IS a well told tale. Any word on Stormhoek in America? Specifically NYC? Glad things are going well.
