Still if SAp needs to fulfill this gap, it needs to come up with an seamless integration components, low cost based for wider usage.

To ask customers absorb increased costs because of SAP's design decisions borders on the suicidal in a competitive market. Further, he is also correct that the products which use the Java stack are the main culprits; even relatively simply tasks such as patching BI is now a complex and wearisome chore.

On September 24th Henning Kagermann, Co-CEO, saw SAP untouched by the financial crisis. This is an invitation to investors ! 10 days later the party was over and an unexpected steep down turn had occurred in the last 2 weeks of September ? Is this the whole story ? If you calculate this down turn from the prognosis and the figures presented, you end up with a decline of about 60%. By October 28th it should have been possible to judge the situation.
