ByPrimary Researcher May 3, 2018May 7, 2022

… process that burned Lidl so severely with a “seven-year and 500 million Euro cost for nothing” to the cloud.

Cloud services customers can test everything for themselves.
Cloud services customers are able to experiment with free tier accounts to test performance metrics like availability, latency, and data transfer rates.
Cloud services customers can make their buying decision is based on guaranteed SLAs. For instance, if the nearest region, or content delivery network (CDN), is 3000 miles away, latency will be a significant problem for modest workloads even if the entire DC is dedicated to a single customer and …

How to Manage Buying from Software from Large Vendors
ByPrimary Researcher June 7, 2017March 25, 2021

… of One
Perhaps applying a heuristic to purchasing enterprise software. Which is that you never buy more than one item from any vendor. The reason being that each vendor probably only has one good item. This does not apply to, say, a cloud services provider as they are more a retailer (selling mostly other people’s stuff” than a software vendor.
If companies had followed this rule, they could have kept out of a lot of trouble. If SAP customers had stopped at ERP, they would have been far ahead of the game. If Oracle customers had never purchased …

ByPrimary Researcher May 27, 2017May 6, 2021

… AWS or GCP. What is little discussed that SAP has been outsourcing the cloud contracts that it sells under the HANA Cloud Platform or HEC to its consulting and outsourcing partners.

You will learn how SAP pretends its cloud is one thing and then provides a consulting firm data center, not cloud, to SAP customers.

SAP - Outside Advice on HANA and S/4HANA

The Propaganda in IT Award: The Award Goes to NTT Data on HANA
ByPrimary Researcher March 6, 2017October 22, 2023

… IT leaders cite cost containment as their number one business priority, S/4 HANA will play a pivotal role in 2015, simplifying and reducing hardware costs, driving deeper cost savings from cloud services; increasing the cloud’s analytic and BI capabilities by orders of magnitude; wringing latency from cloud-based services; and infusing cloud services with unprecedented reach and flexibility.
There is zero evidence for any of this, except for the quote from Computerworld. 2015 came and went, and S/4HANA did not play a “pivotal role.” It was barely implemented at all in 2015.
It is confusing as …

… the best forecasting application, and the best middleware etc.. And this does not even account for the dimension of the specific requirements from the customer side.
One-stop shopping is a myth.
Yet it continues to lead to terrible decision making. Currently, several large vendors that have virtually no cloud capability are getting customers to buy heavily marked up cloud services that they don’t even offer. To read about this problem, see the article SAP’s Upcharge as a Service, and Comparison of SAP HEC with Virtustream Versus AWS.

How Accurate Was Hasso Plattner on Customers Being Too Risk Adverse for SAP S/4 HANA?
ByPrimary Researcher April 9, 2016May 19, 2021

… aggregation clearly improves robustness. The focus on the SAP HANA platform allows for better applications, because the technical advantages of SAP HANA can now be exploited without consideration for compliancy with other platforms. This is a formidable advantage and as mentioned before a strategy taken by all other providers of cloud services.”

Simplified Sales, Logistics, and Finance and Shorter Release Cycles: It is not clear how sales, logistics, and finance were simplified with S/4. And SAP could have developed new functionality over a decade ago for ECC but chose not to. The reason was to get more sales …

How to Compare Global Versus Single Software Instances of ERP

… so highly valued.
In the case of SAP, the question is how to unlock value from the massive investment made into the ERP system and the associated systems purchased by SAP customers. (Hint: it is not by buying more SAP).

In some cases, it is decommissioning some SAP applications. Leveraging cloud services is a primary way to improve the investments made into SAP and ERP systems generally.
There are many ways to unlock value from SAP environments, but they aren’t from leveraging more SAP or from leveraging most of what SAP has to offer, as most of the new …

The Illogical Nature of The 2021 Summary Judgement for Teradata Versus SAP

… system. If you look at basically all of SAP’s marketing, they constantly present the idea that one must buy SAP products in unrelated areas of the software to get the benefits of SAP. Furthermore, SAP, like other mega-vendors, sells its software in a bundle. If you reject the overall bundle, which normally includes items that the software buyer does not need, then the discount offered changes. I covered this in the article How SAP Plans to Markup Cloud Service Providers.

SAP shows blockchain being implemented by SAP Cloud. Still, we have already reviewed the SAP Cloud and How SAP Plans to Markup Cloud Service Providers to High Profitability, and there is never any reason to use SAP Cloud.
