- Thursday, January 10, 4:03 PM SAP (SAP +2.9%) closes higher after announcing its core Business Suite ERP, CRM, and HR apps will now be supported by its popular Hana in-memory database. This significantly expands the addressable market for Hana, whose ability to enable real-time analytics and reporting for other SAP apps has already fueled blistering growth. Bernstein has predicted Hana support will also be extended to non-SAP apps. Oracle (ORCL) is trying to counter Hana via its costly Exadata X3 system. (more) Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Sunday, January 6, 4:51 AM SAP (SAP) reckons it has 1M potential new customers in China, five times the number of clients the company has globally, co-CEO Jim Snabe says. Snabe hopes to open the market up by obtaining a deal with authorities this year to permit cloud computing services. "China will be as important for us as the United States," Snabe says. (previous) 4 Comments [Tech]
- Tuesday, December 18, 2012, 5:21 PM Oracle (ORCL) guides on its FQ2 call (webcast) for FQ3 revenue growth of 1%-5% Y/Y and EPS of $0.64-$0.68, in-line with a consensus for 4.3% growth and $0.66. New software license/cloud subscription growth is expected to be anywhere from 3%-13%, and hardware product sales flat to -10% (a decent improvement, though easier comps help). Engineered systems unit bookings rose 70% Q/Q, and Larry Ellison claims share was gained against SAP in Europe. Shares +1.8% AH. (FQ2 results: I, II) Comment! [Tech, Earnings]
- Wednesday, December 5, 2012, 5:38 PM Citrix (CTXS) is making a push into enterprise mobile device management (MDM) software by acquiring Zenprise, one of the market's early leaders. Citrix touts Zenprise's ability to complement Citrix's mobile-oriented products, such as GoToMeeting, Podio, and ShareFile, and in doing so create an end-to-end suite for managing devices, apps, and data. SAP's Sybase unit is also a key player in MDM software, as is Symantec. Look for VMware (VMW) to buy an MDM firm to complement its Horizon Suite, which competes with various Citrix products. Comment! [Tech]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 5:01 PM Tibco (TIBX) -14.7% AH after warning it expects to report FQ4 (ended Nov. 30) revenue of $292M-$295M and EPS of $0.37-$0.38, below a consensus of $316M and $0.44. Tibco blames a mix of soft government spending, Sandy-related deal delays, and poor execution in its infrastructure (i.e. middleware) business, particularly in the Americas. The FQ4 report arrives on Dec. 20. It could be a rough day for enterprise software stocks tomorrow: QLIK -3.7%. PRGS -1.4%. RHT -2.3%. INFA -1.1%. CTXS -1%. ORCL -0.9%. SAP -0.8%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]
- Friday, November 30, 2012, 11:28 AM SAP chairman/co-founder Hasso Plattner has sold €120M ($155.7M) worth of shares to a bank, which in turn will sell the shares at its own discretion. SAP shares have had a good run in 2012, fueled by solid software license growth and big expectations for its Hana in-memory database. They now trade at 21.7x estimated 2013 EPS. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Thursday, November 29, 2012, 3:35 PM More on Amazon: The company is launching more services as its AWS re: Invent conference winds down. Among them: an EC2 cloud computing instance meant for in-memory databases such as SAP's Hana (previous), an EC2 instance meant for heavy-duty storage needs, and Data Pipeline, which helps developers relying on AWS create and manage data flows between various data sources. (Redshift) (networking partnerships) Comment! [Tech]
- Friday, November 23, 2012, 5:44 AM SAP (SAP) is considering listing in Shanghai in a move that would give the software giant the option of raising money in one of its fastest-growing markets. SAP's software sales in China jumped 40% in Q3 and the company has a mid-term sales goal of €1B in the country. It plans to invest $2B in China by 2015. Comment! [Tech]
- Tuesday, November 20, 2012, 12:38 PM Is competition forcing SAP to lower its maintenance contract pricing? Cowen's Peter Goldmacher reports SAP has been offering big discounts for the high-margin contracts to clients looking to cut IT spending and "evaluating lower cost alternatives." Cloud vendors have long pitched the ability to avoid giant maintenance contracts as a selling point for their software. Their apps have already taken a decent chunk of the CRM and HR software markets, and (in some areas) are beginning to make inroads in SAP's core ERP software market. 1 Comment [Tech, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, November 19, 2012, 12:18 PM SAP (SAP +2.9%) is closing on its 52-week high after receiving an upgrade to Outperform from William Blair. The firm argues SAP is benefiting from acquisitions, new innovations, end-to-end product suites, and strong demand for its Hana in-memory database. SAP's sales growth has easily outpaced that of archrival Oracle (ORCL) in recent quarters. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, November 16, 2012, 2:16 PM Gartner forecasts global enterprise IT spending will rise 2.5% next year to $2.68T. Investors should be aware these estimates get revised frequently - 4 months after hiking its 2012 IT spending growth forecast to 3%, Gartner claims 2012 will only see "scant overall growth" due to macro issues that have clearly pressured (I, II) many enterprise IT names. Decent IT spending growth from financial services, telecom, and media companies is expected to offset continued government weakness. Comment! [Tech]
- Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 1:24 PM SAP envisions big things for just-acquired Ariba's B2B marketplace, which it calls "the eBay of business networks." SAP hopes to grab a larger slice of a giant market for B2B transactions (and grow the market itself) by revamping pricing - SAP will introduce flat fees in addition to the current per-transaction fees - as well as integrating Ariba's network with SAP apps, and boosting its analytics capabilities via Hana. SAP recently bragged Ariba's network hosts 733K vendors and is adding 1K companies/week. Comment! [Tech]
- Friday, November 9, 2012, 6:56 PM Microsoft (MSFT) wants to take on SAP and Oracle in the in-memory database market: Redmond claims the next version of its SQL Server database will include "Hekaton," an in-memory solution it promises will deliver huge performance gains. Much like the virtualization market, Microsoft is hoping to undercut the competition by bundling its in-memory product with existing, widely-used software. Demand for SAP's Hana in-memory database has been soaring, as enterprises rush to adopt it for demanding analytics tasks. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 2:16 PM John Chen, the CEO of SAP's Sybase unit, is resigning tomorrow. Sybase, acquired for $5.8B in 2010, is (along with Hana) central to SAP's plans to become a database giant that can go toe-to-toe Oracle and IBM, and also to its goal of becoming a mobile enterprise app leader - SAP hopes to generate $285M in 2012 mobile software sales, and co-CEO Bill McDermott expects the business to maintain triple-digit annual growth for "the forseeable future." 3 Comments [Tech]
- Monday, October 29, 2012, 6:20 AM SAP (SAP -0.5% in Frankfurt) believes it will be able to achieve "double-digit" sales growth from software and related services for a "very long time," co-CEO Bill McDermott has told the Euro am Sonntag newspaper. McDermott also said SAP has no plans for further M&As following the acquisitions of cloud software companies Ariba and Success Factors. Comment! [Tech, Earnings]
- Friday, October 26, 2012, 4:26 PM Though Qlik (QLIK -7.7%) claimed macro issues are responsible for its Q3 miss and Q4 guidance, FBN's Shelby Seyrafi believes the company is seeing tougher competition from business intelligence software rivals Oracle, SAP, IBM, and Tableau. Seyrafi notes the number of $100K+ deals signed by Qlik fell by nearly 20% for the second quarter in a row, albeit while granting $250K+ deals rose to 20 from 15. He adds Tableau "has greater focus (and momentum) in the Americas" (QLIK transcript) Comment! [Tech, Quick Ideas]
