However, the experience by many since its beta release to the public has been considerably less enthusiastic and Wave has failed to entrench itself as a serious collaboration tool for genuine enterprise projects.
SAP is not a name typically associated with bleeding-edge web tools, and most certainly lacks a reputation for rapid implementation. However, in this instance, people can be up and running on SAP's web-based 12sprints product within minutes.
12sprints builds on the same basic fundamentals that Google Wave espouses - real-time messaging, living documents stored in the cloud, adding and dropping participants over time.
However, what 12sprints does differently is the introduction of workflow structures revolving around specific projects. Workflows revolve around Activities and the system caters for such crucial business requirements as cost/benefit analysis and SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis.
SAP says that while 12sprints can work for teams of any size it is designed especially for large enterprises. They have given it the tagline, "Discuss. Decide. Deliver." to represent the results-oriented nature of the system, aiming to bring projects to successful conclusion.
Companies may begin using 12sprints straight away by registering online.
