Platforms and App Delivery with Matthias Steiner

Episode Summary

James and I talked to Matthias Steiner for the fourth episode in our second season. He took to the SAP Community blogs to defend low-code/no-code (and later reiterated at diginomica), and we took notice. We'd been fans previously because of his influence on the various cloud platform gyrations at SAP, and of course because he's a willing Twitter prognosticator. We dove in on low/no-code and other platform things, for a great time.

Money Quotes

Matthias

“Platform” means you need to see MANY people benefit from it. Where are the partner stories? 

IT needs to change from being the one that delivers to the one that empowers.

James

Amazing developers can go in and build apps, but if you look at it from a budget perspective…[after a project cycle] what do we have? Fairly pretty CRUD applications. Look at all we’ve left on the table.

Paul

As a business user, you should not want code, you should want applications.
