ByPrimary Researcher November 23, 2017March 25, 2021

… Hollywood, or just the United States president.
How SAP Fits into the Pattern
At Brightwork, the company we spend the most time analyzing and receiving inside information on is SAP. SAP is the 4rth largest software company in the world.

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

SAP’s Pronouncements on the SAP Cloud Platform
Bill McDermott has called SAP Cloud Platform one of the fastest growing applications/items that SAP has ever offered. What is left out of this statement is that SAP does not charge for the HCP. Therefore, depending on whether you give away a free trial, which SAP Cloud Platform does, you can get many people to sign up for something for free and easily accessible over the Internet. For example, I signed up for a free trial, even though I never did …

ByPrimary Researcher June 18, 2017October 22, 2023

… about using support money.
“Those 22 percent maintenance fees that come with SAP licensing contracts are expected to pay for support and maintenance of currently licensed products, but SAP and other vendors also use that money to upgrade and innovate.

… reliable (No, this provides SAP with the usage of the system).
As should be evident from the corrections, SAP explains LAW as if it is some type of overall administration tool, and completely underplays how much SAP relies upon it during audits. This is why it is often the case that SAP’s technical literature cannot be taken at face value. This is not a technically accurate description of the LAW transaction.
This description, along with explanations by SAP consulting and SAP account executives is likely the reason that it is often assumed by many customers that LAW is …

ByPrimary Researcher May 30, 2017May 20, 2021
