SAP announced a press release with the exact figures for July 24, 1997. After the event in Okt 96 CEO Mr. Hopp seams to be very careful with his announcements. I think we will see even a positiv surprise on 24th of July. On the other hand SAP did all planned growth in Q1+Q2. I think they will keep on growing in Q3+Q4.
They will perform with an additional burst because they did a real good job with the implementation of the new EURO and the Year2000 solution.
Partners: HP, IBM, Big Six, debis, Siemens Nixdorf, IDS etc. New deals with: Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Deutsche Post, Rheinmetall, RWE, GM? etc.
75% of their business is international. The calculation for the exchange rate $/DM is planned with 1,45 (actual:1,75). Mr. Hopp said that a high exchange rate will increase the growth. :-)) |
