Prior to founding Better Place, Agassi was President of the Products and Technology Group (PTG) at SAP AG until 2007. In 2003, at the age of 36, Agassi was named one of the top 20 'Global Influentials for 2003' by CNN-Time magazine. In 2009, Agassi was included in TIME magazine's 100 most influential people list. In 2010, Foreign Policy magazine included Agassi on its annual list of the 100 most influential global thinkers.

Throughout the 90s, Agassi started and successfully sold a number of technology startups, in the areas of enterprise software, internet technology, multimedia and small business administration. Agassi has a bachelor’s degree in computer science and has been awarded a large number of patents in software, automotive and energy infrastructure.

Famous quotes by Shai Agassi:

"Organizations have started to create road maps that will enable their transition to a service-oriented architecture. As such, the SAP TechEd events create a community for success by allowing customers, partners and developers to share and accelerate knowledge surrounding SAP NetWeaver while they discover how existing processes and IT landscapes can be transformed into enablers of business innovation and change."

"After the Enterprise Services Architecture, your applications world will be made from apps by us based on these services, apps from ISVs...and apps you build yourself."

"We all talk about how great Linux is, ... But"

"Larry is a very smart man. You can quote me on that."

"We are standing behind what we say."

"They didn't want to say up front, 'You're going to have to migrate from your software,' because those words would have created a tremor. Now it's been a year, and what they're saying is, We're not going to take that code, we're just going to take some of the ideas. You can't do automatic migrations because it's rewritten. If I'm looking at a whole new implementation, why is it going to Oracle?"

"It looks great on PowerPoint, but on planet Earth, it won't fly. Salesforce.com is a CRM company. Marc is trying to make noise and buzz about something bigger, but that's all it is."

"We won't do the kind of announcement Siebel has done."

"Unlike other vendors, we have no lock-in."

"I don't know what happens 5 or 10 years down the road."

7 Black Roses

by: Chicosci

When I leave
I wanna wait for the silence
You gave me all you've got
But now I stand here waving to you
But still you smile
You're still looking back
Maybe I just wasn't kind enough
I'm fighting urges to fall again
Yet I stumble, Yet I stumble
These roses died, three days since
Black roses died, we said goodbye
These roses died, three days since
I'm sorry, I miss you
How do I remain complete?
When all we bled is lost
We could've burned the earth and sky
A second chance, the seconds spent
Each other's shadow, should have known
I'm fighting urges to fall again
Yet I stumble, Yet I stumble
These roses died, three days since
Black roses died, we said goodbye
These roses died, three days since
I'm sorry, I miss you
These roses died, three days since
Black roses died, we said goodbye
These roses died, three days since
I'm sorry, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
Hear this, I'm yours
I'm at your feet
Hear this, I'm yours
I'm at your feet
(inside this heart you still remain
But faded letters are erased)
Hear this, I'm yours
I'm at your feet
(inside this heart you still remain
But faded letters are erased)
These roses died, three days since
Black roses died, we said goodbye
These roses died, three days since
I'm sorry, I miss you
These roses died, three days since
Black roses died, we said goodbye
These roses died, three days since
I'm sorry, I miss you
These roses died, three days since
