Siemens cancels SAP maintenance contract

Siemens has cancelled their maintenance contract with SAP, due to SAP’s reluctance to offer a discount on the annual maintenance contract which comes in at over 30 million euros.

SAP CEO Leo Apotheker could not give Siemens special terms as he would open a whole can of worms around SAP customers and complaints over the value of the maintenance contracts. Looks like in today’s tough times the third party maintenance companies must be doing well.
