SAP has revealed its plans to launch a SaaS ERP SAP Version focussed on the mid market. Henning Kagermann SAP’s CEO announced earlier this week but no specific dates on release.
Netsuite CEO Zach Nelson has welcomed the announcement and mentioned that this will validate on demand within the ERP space. "Larry Ellison once told me that the best thing that happened to Oracle in the early days was IBM’s preannouncement of a relational database years before it was available. It gave credibility to the then-new idea of relational databases and created demand that IBM could not fulfil."
The thinking is SAP will use on demand as a loss leader and Netsuite is not too concerned (yeah right)and they have a eight year head start and that will give them space to keep ahead of SAP.
