Intellect is a web-based, user-friendly system that allows the average person, with or without knowledge of computer programming, to easily build fully-functional and extremely useful business applications. Intellect automates the processes needed to deliver results with easy to Intellect is fully configurable without coding, companies gain the flexibility to adapt to change, eliminating the need for costly software modifications in the future.

Intellect’s Instant Application Framework makes it simple to quickly create dynamic forms, interactive tables, workflow diagrams and collaboration tools such as due date notifications and sign-off requests. As a result, the typical business user is empowered to configure the system whenever necessary, even if he or she has no knowledge of computer programming. If you can get by in Excel, you can build sophisticated applications with Intellect. Intellect allows for levels of flexibility and user-control not possible with hard-coded applications, at a fraction of the cost.

Pre-configured project management systems featuring workflow are available. They can then be changed to tailored on a one-time or constant basis to fit a person’s individual needs.

Many have been the efforts to make application development into a task that is natural for the ‘ordinary’ user. Many have been the failures. Indeed, this was the idea behind JotSpot (just sold to Google), which debuted calling itself “the application wiki.”

Note that 20 years ago, there was an environment often employed by ordinary users to build (single-user) applications; it was called Lotus 123. It’s a fact worth noticing that workflows — call them “social applications” if you will — seem more resistant to this.

This discussion is interesting, and I’m going to take this idea back home to http://www.connectbeam.com and think about whether building such ‘workflows’ is a sensible competence to build into our Enterprise 2.0 platform at some point.

What is the boundary between IT and Marketing, when using the AMAÂ’s 2004 definition of marketing?

The “knowledge” worker (i hate that term) desktop is too valuable for the big guys to ignore for long.

Herewith AMR talking to the SAP CEO. (http://www.amrresearch.com/Content/View.asp?pmillid=19834)

AMR Research: What do you think of all the buzz around Web 2.0?

Kagermann: (He laughs). Hasso was just here yesterday saying that we need to do build more Web 2.0 into our software. (He is referring to Hasso Plattner, one of SAPÂ’s cofounders and his predecessor as CEO at SAP.) With SOA, you can have all these different user experiences with 100% business system integrity.

AMR Research: Inside SAP, your company is using a lot of collaborative tools like wikis. Do you see these becoming part of future SAP products? The primary concern seems to be the lack of security.

Kagermann: YouÂ’re right. We will add wikis and other tools when we can tie them into our security layer.

Love the blog and the Enterprise 2.0 concept. It provides a lot of inspiration to our team. Thanks, and keep up the insights.
