Watch our live broadcast from the press conference in china, which is just to begin. Everything looks great and we are expecting and exciting event. There are 3 cameras rolling and we have established several independent live streamings. Two internal only streams for our employees and remote locations in apj, where our managing directors are watching the press conference with local journalists (e.g. in japan, vietnam, singapore, malaysia, etc.) Also there are two external live webcasts, which are accessible globally. Some of the encodings are done directly onsite in beijing, some others are initiated in germany for saftey reasons and to guarantee a backup out of china. In addition journalists can dial in via telephone or listen to an audio only webcast.
The press conference will start 12:45 pm china standard time, which is 6:45 am in germany and 0:45 am est.
Feel free to join! You can find all information about the different dial in options on www.sap.com/press

With the SAP TV team being in China this week, our daily work doesn´t only seem to be international – it is!
We produce stories all over the globe – from Port au Prince, Haiti to Beijing, China.
A big help is our fantastic global network consisting of reporters, producers and camera crews in key and emerging markets. It´s time to introduce some of the people behind the lens:
Silicon Valley producer, Vince Sturla, is a veteran news and documentary film-maker.
He’s lived and worked in Southeast Asia, India and Central America for CNN and NBC News. Sturla’s work has won numerous awards including the DuPont-Columbia, broadcast journalism’s equivalent of the Pulitzer.

This week, SAP TV is broadcasting from the Middle Kingdom where several Board-level events are under the spotlight: an all-China employee meeting, a board meeting, keynote presentations at a premier customer event and two press conferences. Preparations are well-underway and here’s a quick progress update:
Due to bandwith challenges in China, we’ve decided to run the internal employee event with live audio only, but we will provide a video recording to our Chinese colleagues afterwards. For one of the the press conferences, during which the Board will provide to the APJ media with further insight to our acquisition of Sybase, things have proven a little more challenging. Also for this event, we struggle with the external Internet bandwith. We had planned to have two internal streamings (one for back up) and two external streamings (the other also for backup). As far as the internal broadcast is concerned, things are looking good; we have a dedicated 20 Mbit line (up and down), same is installed externally. However, we’re just finding out that internet signals leave China very s-l-o-w-l-y. We’re going to see if we can sort this out tomorrow. Pull a rabbit out of the proverbial hat perhaps?! We’ll keep you posted! And one more thing; we’ll have top TV networks on-site on Friday – Reuters, CCTV and Bloomberg….
