SAP is seeking new organizations to sell its high-profile cloud product, Business ByDesign.  Michael Schmitt, the new sheriff in the ByD town says, "We are talking to a lot of partners to activate them, motivate and come along with them." The question asked at the SAP SME Summit this week was how the giant software will do that after much of the channel felt burned by SAP's repositioning the product upstream,

SAP has named a new general manager for its much-maligned Business ByDesign. And the company says cloud product sales will rely more on channel distribution than previously. This is the most information we have heard about the latest reincarnation of ByD in several months. New GM and SVP Michael Schmitt said in a video he will bring together all teams that are relevant to ByD. Schmitt also posted comments in an SAP blog.
