One Global SAP Instance vs Multiple Regional Instances
Submitted by dkaps on 30 June, 2009 - 19:09.As more and more companies are acquiring other companies with different and disparate databases there are complexities that come from merger and integration of the IT applications. Even in the organic growth, when a company grows across geographies, it is seen that multiple SAP systems may need to be merged.
In such situations, one major question that every CIO grapples with is should one have One Single SAP Global Instance or Separate Regional Instances.
TO properly evaluate, there are many things that need to think through. The pros and cons of the two different alternatives are a good startiing point for that evaluation and discussion.
Single Global Instance
Advantages
- Maximum utilisation of SAP Functional Integration
- Forces standardisation or commonality
- Lower cost of on-going maintenance
- Organisation-wide operational reporting is standard
SAP facing pressure from Oracle and Netsuite
Submitted by dkaps on 30 June, 2009 - 16:16.SAP is seeing pressure from all the sides. Oracle, due to the recent acquisitions has been pushing SAP down this past year. The new software sales from SAP plunged 33% last quarter, while Oracle's stock has been performing better than SAP's. It may be even losing market share as the companies start looking for alternatives to SAP because of various reasons.
SAP is "clearly losing market share," said Adam Wood, a Paris-based analyst at Exane BNP Paribas who rates SAP "underperform." "Because of the acquisitions Oracle has made recently, it's left them with a bigger product range for their existing customers."
So, maybe after all, all the acquisitions by Oracle have started showing their results.
