12sprints is meant for people- connecting, data-sharing, decision-making tool that sets the work in motion. It’s not just a place where things get discussed. Moreover it’s where things get done.

All you have to do is invite the right people, bring in the pertinent data and then choose the most informed course of action with the help of pre-defined and interactive decision-making tools. All this is built-in. finally you get everyone you want on the same page and under one roof too.
The private beta version of the cloud-based application which is code named as Constellation is called 12Sprints. With the pre-defined tools, it promises to expedite the decision making process for the business users.

Developed by the SAP’s Business Objects division, the Constellation skips the social tip that the Wave used as their first stepping stone. Instead it aimed straight for the enterprise.

Both the applications piece together fundamentally at their most basic forms of different media under one roof. The SAP’s solution comes from a contentional angle by trying to foster debates with an access to the widgets for cost and also benefit analysis and pro and con tables. Designed for the clusters of five to thirty users, the Constellation has declared to publish and access data in on-premise applications such as the wikis and SharePoint.
The Constellation seems to be poised to provide the link that the Google Wave is missing rather than duke it out, it is marketed as “the next step in the business intelligence”. But various other companies have already figured out different ways to use the Wave effectively in their work environment. Hence it’s obvious to wonder if the SAP’s lack of a social stance will help or hurt them towards the end.

There isnt much information on the application yet, but its said that the SAP is eager to see how the two products can eventually work together. Be it any case, it will be definitely interesting to see how this craze for the cloud plays out to be and as always it will continue to focus on the collaboration, larger communities and also the death of the inbox is worth to be noted.
