Evaluating The Quality of Gartner's Advice on S/4HANA Licensing
ByPrimary Researcher December 31, 2019August 4, 2023

… risk. At Brightwork Research & Analysis, we spin up instances on AWS all the time for testing and then delete them. A significant point of the public cloud is that it is elastic. However, SAP does not direct customers to the public cloud because the public cloud pricing is published, dramatically restricting SAP’s ability to mark up cloud services.
And there is no commitment. Of course, once a production system is in place, there is stickiness from the technical perspective, but neither AWS nor GCP has any term restrictions. This is the opposite situation with the HEC, which often has

How To Reduce Your SAP Investment
ByPrimary Researcher November 21, 2019March 26, 2021

… SAP’s proposals around best practices are not based on anything real and are pure marketing conjecture. This is covered in the article How SAP Uses Best Practices to Control the Implementation.
The Winning Approach
The approach recommended by Brightwork is to move towards the following:

More open source
More cloud services like AWS/GCP
More custom code, more best of breed (wherever it fits, which is covered in this article, When Should You Purchase Packaged Software Versus Custom Development?)
Less SAP.

Being Harvested by SAP
SAP decreasingly cares if anything that it sells to its customers adds any value …

How to Interpret SAP's 2019 HANA for Cloud Announcement
ByPrimary Researcher October 15, 2019March 3, 2021

Executive Summary

SAP announced making HANA “cloud-native.”
We provide our analysis for what this means.

Introduction
At SAP’s TechEd announced that its HANA database had been re-architected for the cloud. ZDNet covered this.
Beneath those headlines was a very significant development, of SAP re-architecting HANA for its new managed cloud database service to become what it terms “cloud-native.” By that, they are speaking of a separation of storage from compute and embrace of Kubernetes, the combination of which will enable elasticity and quick start, stop, and resizing of cloud services. – ZDNet

The Reasons Given for McDermott's Departure from SAP

… reiterated this falsehood in the following quotation.
“The capital markets have been waiting for the margin expansion story,” he said, adding the “inflection now for margin expansion is in full flight.” – Bizjournals.com
SAP’s margins in the cloud are tied to marking up other service providers’ cloud services, which we cover in the article How to Understand SAP’s Upcharge as a Service Cloud. SAP has close to no internal cloud service business; it can only improve cloud margins to mark up the cloud services of other providers. This is why SAP is pushing customers away from the …

Is Oracle in Trouble (Longer Term) With Its Oracle Cloud vs AWS?
ByPrimary Researcher September 26, 2019May 11, 2022

Executive Summary

Oracle is a dominant database vendor, but Oracle is set to lose out in database growth and IaaS growth in the future.

https://youtu.be/XrhDLSdr_L4
Text Introduction (Skip if You Watched the Video)
Oracle has been trailing the major cloud service provides since cloud services began to rise. Oracle states this is about to change every year, but it never does, and Oracle Cloud is barely mentioned when discussions of cloud service providers occur. Oracle competes by locking in customers, which …

Age Discrimination As Yet Another Way to Reduce IT Labor Costs
ByPrimary Researcher August 13, 2019January 9, 2024

… new software faster and cheaper than products that need to be installed at a customer’s own data center. It’s a move that will require fewer people, and with different skill sets than many of those now at SAP.
The idea that SAP is moving to the cloud is simply false. SAP is moving to mark up the cloud services of other cloud providers, as we covered in the article How to Understand SAP’s Upcharge as a Service Cloud, and massively upcharging the customer for “going through SAP.” Therefore, the rest of the paragraph is also false.

Brightwork Research Study: The 2019 Oracle Database Usage
ByPrimary Researcher June 27, 2019October 25, 2021

… measured by those entities that measure usage. This is because it is below 1% of the overall market for cloud services. The numbers some IT media entities report that is higher than this are self-reported by Oracle. This seems to have no bearing on the reporting of the overall cloud services market.

Oracle has been making claims around the growth of Oracle Cloud for years now. If the growth story is occurring, why has the Oracle Cloud not passed 1% of the total cloud services market? Continual rapid growth, without being, is not a logical possibility. Over the past …

How IBM is Distracting from the Watson Failure to Sell More AI

… old contracts and that its pipeline of new business has shriveled. Watson’s brand is now negative, which means that whoever acquires the assets is probably better off changing the name. Therefore, the price would not include brand equity.
Furthermore, the argument that IBM wants to focus on something else (cloud services and AI in this case) does not make any sense. And it makes no sense for the following reasons.

IBM has always focused on many business lines. Its consulting group by itself focuses on many areas of IT consulting.

How Accurate is Oracle's Mark Hurd?

… Think of the staff time and maintenance fees companies must keep plowing into their on-premises systems as mounting interest on the tech debt—time and money that do nothing but keep companies at status quo.”
All applications that are not ported to the cloud are legacy? The term legacy is used to describe an application they want to replace rather than accurately using the term. For example, SAP has referred to Oracle’s database as a legacy, even though SAP’s HANA database is inferior to the Oracle database.
Shifting to Cloud Services is Critical?
