Business Objects is SAPs largest purchase to date. Does this signal a change in SAPs acquisition strategy?
SAP’s strategy is to complement its existing applications and solutions with smart purchases that bring innovative technologies and capabilities while maintaining its successful organic growth track record. Our strategy is guided by careful market assessments and our focus on adding value to our customers’ investments in SAP. The purchase of Business Objects is in keeping with this strategy. While larger than our past acquisitions, it is a smart purchase that can offer immediate benefits to customers and enables our organic growth track record.
