I just read that Wal-Mart is going to implement SAP Financials. For those who aren’t familiar with Wal-Mart, this is pretty big news. Wal-Mart has long had the reputation of being an IT Silo, preferring to build applications rather than purchase them.

I’m curious if this was done because Wal-Mart’s IT has difficulty keeping up with global expansion, if this signifies a trend towards a more open approach at Wal-Mart, or if Wal-Mart is doing this more to leverage SAP’s domain expertise in deploying global applications?

But, as long as I can still get my Halloween candy, I guess it doesn’t really matter.
