SAP Network Blog: The Sky Is Not Falling
SAP Network Blog: The Sky Is Not Falling: "In any case, there can be no doubt that Shai's departure will have an impact. He is a true visionary, with a sharp technology mind and a keen awareness of global dynamics and their impacts/opportunities. The changes and initiatives he drove at SAP are permanent and 'living' in the DNA of the company.

As many other talented people at SAP emerge from the large shadow cast by such a strong personality and visible representative of SAP, I can envision a multiplying effect on SAP's innovation, not a retreat. And I am certain that none would be prouder and happier to see this than Shai."
