The Hushed Tones around Third Party Maintenance

The Hushed Tones around Third Party Maintenance

By Vinnie Mirchandani on April 2, 2013

Watching this Dennis Howlett interview with Ray Wang, it occurred to me how the industry still talks about 3PM as a taboo topic: a) Enterprise software vendors still pretend they have no defections, even though Rimini Street, for one has over 600 customers b) Over a beer, enterprise software executives will agree they should move […]

SAP + SuccessFactors = Great for SAP, but could restrict growth potential for the HR services industry

By Phil Fersht on December 4, 2011

With SAP’s move to “Cloudify” its software portfolio with the $3.4bn acquisition of the darling of HR software, SuccessFactors, we do not believe this is particularly good news for BPO service providers and services clients

TechCrunch trivializes SAP’s $3.4B billion cloud acquisition

By Michael Krigsman on December 4, 2011

Photo credit: Cloud watching by Michael Krigsman TechCrunch trumpeted an odd lack of interest in SAP’s acquisition of human capital management vendor, SuccessFactors, for $3.4 billion.
