In a renting model, the big up-front costs go away, and this should make it possible for SAP to expand its market into medium-sized companies. Soon, it will be possible to mainly outsource the skills needed to use R/3. As significant as SAP licensing fees may be, they by no means dwarf the implementation costs ... often the other way around with SAP. One has implementation costs whether one buys or rents. And renting makes customization to cure key usability problems more problematic.
