hello thread, Just some additional news about SAP from the IT Services Business Report, July issue: Produced by analysts from Ovum, an independent IT analyst group. "SAP will remain market leader in the business application arena for the foreseeable future. Its R/3 product suite may not be the most exciting client/server solution, but it is certainly the most robust, scalable and proven one. Also, SAP's EMU offering is at least 6 months ahead of its nearest competitor with a very advanced, phased approach implementation." Ovum's Dennis Keeling comments on SAP's slow approach to componentization, "Although appealing to the inherently conservative ERP market, this approach may leave the door open to more nimble competitors". He says, "SAP will find it hard to maintain its former growth rate and influence as alternative solutions from competitors become well known." Looking forward to Aug. 3rd jsg
