The Shortage of Software Term Fact Check
ByPrimary Researcher December 17, 2017May 7, 2022

… large vendors that base their model on being as close as possible also jumped on the bandwagon. They did so even though their model was 100% the opposite of the SOA model.
Score
SOA died with a whimper. All of the people that wrote books on SOA and entities like Gartner that sang its praises started talking about other things. There is yet to be a post-mortem analysis of how SOA became such a buzzword, even though there was no model for making it financially viable. For these reasons, SOA receives a 1 out of 10.

… multiple SAP customers.
After extensive analysis, it turns out that these statements are not checking out from the feedback that has come in from multiple SAP customers.
Furthermore, Brightwork Research & Analysis has been the only entity specializing in SAP that has questioned whether the claims made by SAP in this area actually made any sense. Our view is that they never did make any sense, and they have been targeted at executives that think they can guess if SAP is telling the truth without relying on people with the right background to verify these claims.
Nothing to Say, Gartner, and

… CFOs, analysts and IT media defend the perception of SAP leadership to preserve their interests, which have been valued in trillions of dollars. (See the book SAP Nation and SAP Nation 2.0 by Vinnie Mirchandani for a fuller explanation of the financial implications of SAP’s ecosystem.)

… than Bill McDermott to “make things up.”
Furthermore, Brightwork is a research entity that does not seek to maximize profits during for-profit. If we did try to maximize profits, we would begin to publish paid placements, as do Forbes and Fortune. This is quite the opposite of SAP, Deloitte, Gartner, and other sources that provide information about SAP. These entities are distinctly profit-maximizing. At Brightwork, we consider profit-maximizing to be contradictory to research. For obvious reasons, if you seek to maximize profits, you will alter your research to match the highest bidder’s desired outcomes.

… clear that ASUG authors are even writing the articles attributed to them. If ASUG is actively promoting S/4HANA and SAP generally, then ASUG cannot produce any research in the field. Biased sources lead to biased research results. ASUG spends time in their study describing their methodology. However, as with Gartner or Forrester, if the research entity takes money from those it is researching, the methodology does not matter. This is an extremely well-understood topic in academic research. But is a problem in the enterprise software space because private industry is not set up very well to fund truly …
