Stephen - I think you brought up a really interesting topic. But, I don't think Peter is the enemy, just someone in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The problem I see is this: SAP has processes that sometimes get in the way of productivity. People try to find their way around the process. Take SAP Certified Appliance Hardware for SAP HANA as a great example. They wanted to avoid PAM, so they created a SCN Document.
This is an information delivery problem and both Peter's blog and the HANA hardware blog tell us that the system is broken. What's more, this causes a myriad of SEO problems that make information even harder to find.
I was earlier trying to find certified 3rd party HANA vendors and you can't find that on Google for love nor money, just a bunch of recursive articles like Third-Party MDX-based BI Client Tools for SAP HANA Certification (HANA-BI-MDX) that all point to each other!
Hoping Matt Johnson's Profile | SCN is watching this.
