There has been much speculation over the demand for On Demand softwares with large ERP vendors such as SAP entering the market. However it seems that now the fizz that was once there for this type of software service model is taking a step backwards.
Recent reports stated that SAP is beginning to cut short on its investements on Business ByDesign. Some say this is because they had a tough quarter and felt that they would be in a better position to curb their expenses on R&D in this section than on the SME solutions market, then again isnt SaaS meant for the SME market ??
Even ORACLE have got into the act and state that they are happy to let SAP take the lead role in this area and watch and learn from their mistakes, because ORACLE feels that SAP have a lot to do in just setting up the foundation for this service model style in an ERP Context in the SME Market.
What more, there were even speculations that perhaps ORACLE would take over a few small players in the industry to keep the barrels loaded when they enter the battle field. The way I see things, ORACLE could just be brewing another hot take over around the corner, perhaps even another ERP Vendor that fits the bill with a SOA Architectural style and maybe even moving towards to a SaaSy service model.
Time will tell I guess. Will keep this site updated on the latest happenings.
