NetSuite’s latest attempt to poach customers from SAP finally struck a nerve with the enterprise software giant, which Tuesday offered its point of view on the SaaS vendor’s new Suite Cloud offering for SAP customers.
NetSuite is trying to gain business from subsidiaries of large SAP customers by offering them SaaS ERP, along with packaged integrations to tie the software into the main SAP back-end. Moreover, customers have the option of deploying just one piece of NetSuite’s software, such as general ledger.
Yet, SAP’s not worried about NetSuite affecting its business, according to spokesman Bill Wohl. “The potential of NetSuite having an impact on our business is negligible at this point,” he said. Wohl even poked fun at NetSuite’s viability by asking, “will they be [another] acquisition candidate of Oracle?” (Oracle CEO Larry Ellison owns a majority stake in NetSuite, and it has yet to take similar jabs at Oracle.)
