Google Wave vs. SAP StreamWork

© 2009 FIT Consulting. 8

Who wins? Wrong Question! It might be not the correct time to compare these to SaaS’s (Software as a Service).

Why? Google Wave:

• Social application • Social collaboration is the main focus • Weak in decision making business collaboration

SAP StreamWork:

• Business application • Business collaboration is the main focus • Strong in decision making busines collaboration

Both application are running on the same road (SaaS) but in the opposite direction (Social, Business application). Maybe one day they will run in the same direction, then we will see who wins!
