How True is SAP's Motion to Dismiss Teradata's Complaint?
ByPrimary Researcher September 4, 2018April 23, 2023

… and wanted to appeal to SAP’s users – but SAP painted Teradata’s push as wildly unsuccessful, saying that just one customer signed up.”
This is not related to at least the heart of Teradata’s complaint. When SAP partners with a vendor, it is never (from SAP’s perspective) to improve that vendor’s ability to sell into SAP’s customers. SAP uses partnerships to neuter competitors and copies intellectual property but usually works against competing vendors’ interests. As we covered in the article How SAP’s Partnership Agreement Blocks Vendors from Fighting Indirect Access, partnerships with SAP have

How to Use the Latest New Digital Transformation Terms!
ByPrimary Researcher September 2, 2018May 11, 2022

… consulting firms. No, the problem was that the declaration of success had to wait until the project’s end. And since SAP projects failed with such frequency, most projects would never get to the promised land of being declared a success.
SAP and its consulting partners needed to make a radical change to address this issue.
Introducing……”DT!”

The answer was simple. Make the project associated with a successful terminology so that the process itself rather than the outcome was the focus — i.e., a “digital transformation.” This way, the project is already successful because it is associated with …

How to Understand The Art of the SAP Support Flip Flop
ByPrimary Researcher September 1, 2018March 13, 2021

… applications for many years. Still, it chooses to limit support as a mechanism (or in many cases pretending to limit support) to coerce customers into moving to new products.

The best way to understand SAP is never to be happy with their customers, just staying where they are. They must motivate them to continually spend more money on SAP upgrades, consulting through partners, etc..
One way of keeping away from these threats and manipulation by SAP is to move to third-party support.

Hmmmm… it sounds like they should have used something more proven.
Cutting Edge SAP Implementation Methodology?
“Lidl’s new system was implemented in a joint project with partner KPS, which took a highly agile approach based on its Rapid Transformation Method.”

… stable, highly profitable and usually predictable Oracle. (emphasis added)” – Seeking Alpha
Monopoly Power Leads to Exhorbinant Profit Margins
For those who would defend SAP or Oracle’s margins, there is a problem. Economists state that excessive profits are evidence of monopoly power. How did Pablo Escobar control 80% of the cocaine distributed and consumed in the US market? He murdered competitors. At one time, Pablo Escobar had 500 sicarios or hitmen working for him. SAP and Oracle use a different approach. They combine a partner ecosystem with constant acquisitions. They also leverage monopolistic control of a core component of …

Is it Right to Lead Clients into SAP Software Failure?
ByPrimary Researcher August 28, 2018December 10, 2020

Executive Summary

S/4HANA is an implementation that makes money for SAP and consulting partners but has a very low likelihood of success.
S/4HANA implementation has turned into quicksand, and the consulting partners know this.

Introduction to S/4HANA Risks
Our observation from many implementation data points of S/4HANA as outlined in our S/4HANA implementation study is that S/4HANA is the highest risk application with the least likelihood of going live of any application we track. One major reason? S/4HANA is not a completed application.

Partial Cost of Ownership Calculation: How Financial Bias Commonly Undermines Software TCO Calculations that are Usable
ByPrimary Researcher August 18, 2018January 17, 2021

Executive Summary

The total cost of ownership, or TCO, for software is critical to estimating the ROI of a technology purchase.
The problem is often who performs these TCO calculations.

Introduction
When it comes to enterprise software selection, calculating the total cost of ownership, or TCO, is critical for evaluating different products and estimating the ROI for a purchase. Unfortunately, companies looking at migrating to new software often accept promotional figures for TCO provided by technology vendors or consultants who have partnership relationships with them.
PCOs or Partial Cost of Ownership
Vendors normally publish “partial” TCOs.
An accurate estimate of …

This is standard practice on the part of SAP and its consulting partners. As soon as the acquisition or announcement is made, the proposal is that the application is already integrated. First, C/4HANA is not integrated into S/4HANA. Secondly, the C/4HANA suite is not integrated into the components that make up C/4HANA!

How HANA's Time in the Sun Has Finally Come to an End

… in presenting stuff for which they have no way of knowing if they are correct. It means that a significant component of those that work in SAP is faking knowledge.
The proposals were so off the wall that I was subjected to that they needed their laugh track. I had partners from Deloitte and Capgemini and several other firms. These people would not know the definition of a database index, who have not been in anything but the Microsoft Office suite in several decades, telling me with great certitude how HANA would change everything.
