SAP revealed a major revamp to its flagship Business Suite offering yesterday as it moved the suite onto its go-faster in-memory HANA platform. The move represents a shift to a real time, just-in-time analytic and transaction mode of operation but it is not just performance and customer-side business transformation the company is after. With this move SAP is extending its revenue potential by making an assault on the database market – it is not disruptive but will make waves. It certainly raises the intensity in the long-running Oracle-SAP confrontation because customers will no longer have to look to Oracle (and other providers) for the database on which to run Business Suite.
