Brightwork Analysis of SAP's 2017 White Paper on Indirect Access
ByPrimary Researcher July 10, 2017May 20, 2021

… Sure, that makes sense. Customers should be able to push back on this for rather obvious reasons.

“If a customer has previously licensed Named Users for what is now defined as Indirect Static Read scenario, what are his / her options going forward? If such Named Users are not needed for other scenarios, customers can leverage SAP’s existing extension policies to replace the associated maintenance payments with either (1) a cloud solution purchase or (2) an on-premise solution purchase.”

Horse Trading for Licenses
That is the desired outcome for all indirect access claims made by SAP. SAP will …

How SAP Has Quietly Changed Strategy on HANA and SAP Oracle
ByPrimary Researcher July 9, 2017October 22, 2023

… spree should have been approved by the Federal Trade Commission (which seems to spend most of its time eating donuts and taking long naps), it was not in itself deceptive.
However, SAP’s statements about HANA were always inaccurate.
The Recent Change in Policy on Oracle
SAP’s plans for HANA were so extravagant that they fell into the category of fantasy. I worked through a consulting company several years ago and attended a meeting where several men from SAP came over to educate us on HANA and S/4HANA. What was pitched as an educational presentation became one …

How to Best Understand ASUG's SAP S/4HANA Adoption Survey
ByPrimary Researcher March 30, 2017March 7, 2021

… quote is consistent with the overall article that sprinkles in promotional language throughout the “study.” Notice the two areas of the quote that are bolded. The statements may or may not be true, but the question should be, why are they even in what is ostensibly a study.
As for the first part of the quote, almost all S/4HANA implementations are on-premises. Why doesn’t ASUG bring up this fact? SAP marketing literature frequently mentions that S/4HANA is available either on-premises, managed cloud, and public cloud. So why is a duplicated of phraseology from SAP …

Executive Summary

Find out the issues with HANA and S/4HANA pricing before negotiating with SAP.

How to Understand the Pricing of S/4HANA and HANA
Introduction
This article will review the implications for HANA pricing and S/4HANA pricing. If you are negotiating with SAP, neither SAP nor the SAP consulting firms will want you to read this article. They will say SAP does not approve the information, that Brightwork is not a recommended SAP analyst, that information must come from an SAP partner, anything to get you not to use the information in this article. SAP partners and …

How SAP is Now Strip Mining its Customers
ByPrimary Researcher February 19, 2017January 25, 2024

… passes. SAP has quite a lot in common with IBM. IBM is doing reasonably well financially, but IBM has lost its ability to innovate or provide much value. They now rely upon acquisition, labor exploitation, lawyers, and contracts. IBM is no longer even a desirable employer.
The Failure of the Big Bets like S/4HANA and HANA
The next topic is that SAP’s big bets on HANA and S/4HANA have not worked out anywhere near expectations. HANA is a moderately selling, super-premium-priced database. S/4HANA has minimal traction in the marketplace.
For those who know …

How to Deflect That You Were Wrong About HANA
ByPrimary Researcher October 16, 2016October 22, 2023

… False
If what is true is important, then this is a problem for this specific subject and companies that intend to listen to advice from either SAP or SAP consulting companies on other topics.
HANA’s Predicted TCO
Second, our research predicts that HANA will have a higher than 2x TCO versus competing databases. Again, SAP stated that HANA’s TCO would be lower — lower even than when HANA replaces an existing database and will implement faster than an already implemented database. The second sentence is impossible, and it should be obvious why. You don’t have to pay …

What is the Real Story with SAP's Run Simple?
ByPrimary Researcher September 2, 2016January 25, 2024

… conjecture and bragging are presented as if it is an academically researched and settled topic.

The “Run Simple” program was directed at easily tricked people. It was a significant way that SAP sold HANA and S/4HANA, as we cover in the article Does HANA Have a Simplified Data Model and Faster Reconciliation? However, within a few years, Run Simple was a dead marketing program at SAP.

How Gartner Got SAP Fiori So Wrong
ByPrimary Researcher September 2, 2016May 7, 2021

… entities will disclose their pro-SAP financial bias to their readers.

In performing this analysis, I repeatedly came across references for Gartner’s article, titled SAP Fiori UX: It is Not a Matter of If, but When.
This proposal of inevitability has been a common theme used by SAP recently when selling anything from HANA to S/4, etc.. It does not appear coincidental that the SAP’s selling messaging is just about the same as Gartner’s title of an article on Fiori. In fact, in several areas, Gartner’s article did not read so much as an …
