Rodolpho Cardenuto: Head of SAP partner organization.

(We could not confirm 3 more senior level departures at the time of this writing, so we will not include them here).

Is There a Problem with Gerry Weber and SAP?
ByPrimary Researcher March 23, 2019January 24, 2024

Executive Summary

SAP has seen a significant drop in its stock price and bankruptcy.
Gerry Weber has also been going through many system changes.
Are these financial problems related to their IT changes?

Introduction
Pedro Rodriguez made the following observation about the retailer Gerry Weber.
“Gerry Weber total shares value is slowly approaching the total cost of a SAP project (Around 10 millions) just after 3-4 years of introducing state of the art SAP S/4 HANA into their retail system. Previous company share value was around 1000-500 millions.”
When we read this, we knew that S/4HANA …

Brightwork Advisory Note: A Change in SAP Development Strategy
ByPrimary Researcher March 17, 2019May 20, 2021

… practically impossible to build services. Cloud services (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS) are distributed, multi-tenant, loosely-coupled, API-driven, independently, and horizontally scaled. Monoliths are massive, centralized, single-tenant, tightly-integrated, vertically-scaled systems. SAP HANA and Leonardo are examples of how this monolithic development mindset handicapped SAP’s cloud transition.
HANA was born as a specialized OLAP appliance. Later, the product included an OLTP database, an application development platform, and an application server supporting the world’s most sophisticated ERP application suite.

Can you imagine the complexity of making the smallest development decisions for a product with this …

Will SAP Acquire Teradata to Extinguish the Lawsuit?
ByPrimary Researcher March 16, 2019April 21, 2023

… effectively with S/4HANA because it only focuses on its flagship analytical database and has failed to offer innovative and relevant compelling products,” the filing stated.
Teradata does not compete with S/4HANA. They compete with HANA. Teradata has not been able to compete in SAP customers with S/4HANA because SAP made it a requirement that HANA only copy data to a second instance of HANA. This made Teradata uncompetitive as it would massively increase the cost (HANA is an exorbitant database in its TCO, which we estimated in the Brightwork Study into SAP HANA‘s TCO). This is

Should Brightwork Research and Analysis Sell Out to SAP?
ByPrimary Researcher March 15, 2019March 14, 2021

Executive Summary

It has been proposed that SAP should not be critiqued and that all information about SAP should come from SAP funded sources.
We ask the question if readers prefer that we sell out to SAP.

Introduction
Our last article on HANA titled SAP’s Layoffs, and a Brightwork Warning on HANA created quite a tizzy in the SAP community. With many SAP resources preferring if it has not been written. You will learn how the IT analytics game really works as we discuss some of the input we received and then open the question of selling out to …

Why is Brightwork Better than Gartner or Forrester?
ByPrimary Researcher March 15, 2019February 23, 2021

… highest TCO. And virtually all of the advice given by Gartner ends up looks inaccurate in retrospect. Just look at their disastrous advice on mainframes as we covered in How to Understand Gartner’s Disastrous Advice on Mainframes. That is what happens when you work backwards from funding sources to conclusions.
Both Gartner and Forrester can be hired to produce the desired output by vendors. For example, Gartner completely bombed on its analysis of HANA as we covered in How Gartner Got HANA So Wrong. Forrester has a similarly insane ranking for big data warehouse (whatever that is) as …

Forbes Allows SAP to Vent Against the Oracle Autonomous Database for Money
ByPrimary Researcher March 10, 2019October 22, 2023

Executive Summary

SAP paid Forbes to allow it to run an editorial as if it were an article.
SAP finally found something it thinks is false: the Oracle autonomous database.

Introduction
SAP has an eight-year history of lying about HANA. And SAP resources take great offense to being called out as lying. In fact, many SAP resources defend lying as exaggerating and proposing that this is “strong marketing.” However, the article written by Greg McStravick of SAP and published in Forbes as a “BrandVoice” that we analyze here demonstrates that SAP can identify when lying is occurring. That is …

What is the Problem with Information About Fiori?
ByPrimary Researcher March 5, 2019May 7, 2022

… of charging for the SAP Fiori Apps to making Fiori as part of a packaged deal — that is packaged with HANA.
This is what is known as a Faustian bargain. It does not allow the SAP Fiori Apps to succeed on its own merits, but instead unnecessarily ties Fiori to HANA. However, there is no technical reason for this to be the case. SAP has put a significant amount of effort into Fiori. Still, Fiori has an abysmal future if SAP continues to limit the use of Fiori apps to customers that are running HANA.
Overall, SAP is presenting customers …

How S/4HANA Cost Overruns and Failures are Suppressed

… million for data migration. This may sound expensive for a data migration, but the price seems plausible due to the high complexity and the technical and legal peculiarities: The migration of the current and historical data of the various R / 3 systems of Swiss Post into the central S / 4 Hana system must be carried out during the year (first planned system replacement as of July 2019) at the same time as the introduction of the new general ledger (“General Ledger”, “new GL”) in a single 48-hour step.”
This contradicts the earlier statement by Deloitte about the S/4HANA …

… by 9.36%.

A year-long downtrend is too long to be seasonal.
In SAP’s case, analysts and investors see a problem with SAP’s product vision. Brinker Capital decreased its stake in SAP by 34.5%. SAP’s innovation centers around the “intelligent enterprise.” This innovation was expected to drive growth from S/4 HANA, Leonardo IOT AI, and the SAP cloud platform (SCP).

Despite massive marketing spending, none of these product lines gained material market traction over the past two years.
On the opening day of the SAP UK and Ireland user group conference in Birmingham …
