Atlanta, United States
SAP has issued a press release announcing its strategy to pursue the mid-market. Jim Schaper, CEO of Infor, a leading global provider of enterprise software solutions, issued the following statement in response.
"One has to wonder if SAP truly understands the mid-market or whether this strategy is solely an effort to detract attention from the slowing growth of their Fortune 500 base. Medium-sized customers do not want all-in-one products that need massive customization efforts to address their line of business. That approach is a relic of the past, when ERP implementations were akin to corporate open heart surgery. Infor has built a strong growing company on delivering solutions with industry experience already built in. The bottom line is that customers want more functionality, less complexity and the lowest total cost of ownership. That is not the plan we see from SAP."
