Yesterday night, SAP confirmed that they will be presenting the official PB Roadmap during the PB World Tour in Europe: SAP will officially support PowerBuilder and a new version will be released with additional features. A Beta Program should be put in place shortly for interested developers.
This announcement will be made directly by SAP to the community during the PB World Tour in Germany on December 3, organised by Ludwin Feiten, Head of PBUGG. Michael Redford (SAP BIT) and Robyn Chan (Senior Vice President, Head of Mobile Platform, SAP AG) will join the conference in Walldorf to present the Roadmap. The roadmap will also be presented during other stops of the PB World Tour, including Italy (Dec 5-6) and Paris (Dec 10-11).
Since SAP took over Sybase, PowerBuilder landed in the Business Information Technology (BIT) division within SAP. A number of discussions have taken place between members of the PB community and SAP to help them better understand the needs of developers and to discuss future evolutions of the product
During this presentation, SAP will explain its strategy for future evolutions of PowerBuilder and also the integration of PowerBuilder into the SAP eco-system.
