SAP Contractor

Went to do part time contract job (SAP workflow) at Felda last week. Good experience, managed to get the job done earlier than expected. Expect some more works from Felda after this. Apparently they have many new developments coming up for SAP workflow. As long they pay me a good rate, allow me to do remote work, and be onsite based on my availability, I have no issue engaging the project with them ...

My 2nd Adventure 2004

This was my second adventure across Europe. This time around, I was covering again Paris, Madrid, Lisbon and Barcelona. Rather than using Busabout as before, I opted a Euro rail service with a 1 month pass. Paris, France Nou Camp Barcelona, Spain (Watching Barca vs Albacete match) Barcelona City, Spain Sagrada Familia, Barcelona ...

Austerity measure or vice versa?

It’s the case where European is at odd with their opposite Atlantic counterpart, US. To curb deficit, European led by Germany prefers the austerity measure by cutting down the spending heavily. US thinks this is not a good idea especially when global economy is still in recovering mode. Obama lobbied hard for European to spend, but Merkell said sorry, this is European way of solving the problem. Prominent economists from US such as Krugman is arguing that by slowing down the spending, the economy will not get any better. This translates to low...

So, what's the cause of subprime mortgage crisis really?

I think even the bankers themselves do not understand the exotic instrument offered by investment banking such as Goldman (Oo yeah, they are being probed by SEC for possible fraud on this exotic financial instrument). This may explain why highly sophisticated player such as RBS also was being duped by Goldman. Ever heard of CDO (Collateralized Debt Obligation)? This is the culprit of the worse financial crisis since the great depression. So what is CDO and why this has caused so much pain around the world? What are CDO’S? Company A sells 10 mortgages...

SAP XI/PI - Process Integration Part 2

Back to office again. However, I’m in the spirited mood. The training last week was pretty fruitful. First, my impression on middleware significance has truly transformed. Now I can see why it is the integral part of IT future. As you see, over the years, companies have invested lots of dollars to improve their IT systems. But IT is changing rapidly. From on-premise concept, now there is on-demand concept whereby rather than purchasing the infrastructure and applications, one can now subscribe this from third party vendors. All they need is just...

SAP XI/PI - Process Integration

Just when I thought SAP BI is the way to go, my project suddenly requires SAP PI/XI expert. Not as what I imagined it would be, now I have to embrace the SAP PI/XI first before moving to SAP BI. SAP PI/XI once was a very interesting and very much in demand. Basically, it is a middleware application, the most famous one I guess would be IBM WebSphere offering. Things are not looking that well however for SAP PI/XI because the rest of competitors also...

Business Intelligence - BI

Business Intelligence is definitely a buzz word nowadays in IT industry. Why not, the big IT guys were swallowing up small time BI vendors like craze (IBM on Cognos, SAP on Business Objects, Oracle on Hyperion). For me, it’s time to plan to acquire the skills in this area or else I’ll be left out. For a start, I have started studying the current implementation in Loders Croklaan for better understanding. Well, it’s not that hard. Have you by any...
