For example, SAP publishes software business Warehouse running on Hana. "Vishal Sikka, a member of SAP's Executive board and chief technology officer, said in a prior interview.





"This is an important milestone, it shows that Hana becomes a complete database that can handle the load of a data warehouse. "It's a huge milestone," he said. "There are about 16,000 database deployments around the world, which provides a tempting market for Hana."





"Beverage business Red Bull Database system is running on the Hana, then Red Bull and other customers who use Hana will attend the Sapphire Conference." "Sikka said. At the tech Ed conference in Las Vegas, SAP had a lot of publicity for Hana, but not enough to show the customer examples.





Sikka that Tech Ed General Conference Hana customer Shortage "is a matter of time." Hana, he said, would not be universal until June. And when the customer is committed to Hana Project, Hana production is insufficient.

in the private cloud, SAP is planning to collaborate with VMware on virtualized "legacy" ERP deployments.





"People have started to virtualize SAP, but most of them are in the traditional architecture of HP and IBM." "People's efforts at virtualization (including on x86 systems) are ' one-off ', and we're pooling the power of both companies to solve the problem. ”





He also said that SAP's NetWeaver cloud would work closely with Java-centric Cloud Foundry Service (developed by VMware's subsidiary SpringSource).





SAP also plans to discuss evolving on-demand applications at the Sapphire Conference. A study on the application of tourism costs--travel OnDemand, will start early in the year-end test. The application of a career development--career OnDemand will be launched in January.

SAP says the store can be entered through portals and iOS apps. SAP plans to support Android, BlackBerry and other mobile customers in the future. Users can now download applications from SAP and its partners, and ask for quotes, and users will soon be able to buy applications directly from the store.





"Overall, SAP and Sybase will deliver on their mobile commitments in August 2010," he said. "said Raj Nathan, executive vice president of mobile applications at SAP Group.





"We plan to standardize this platform so that 80% of applications are produced from long-term partners." ”





in fact, Nathan was pleasantly surprised at the progress of the cooperation. A SAP spokeswoman said: So far, about 8 applications have been certified, and by the end of the year the figure will be 30. Nathan thinks it has to be speeded up, "at this time next year, this number should be over 200." ”





Nathan said that for development purposes the Sybase unwired and Afaria platform would be open for free cooperation. The cost of using the product will vary depending on the situation. "If the partner applies a price of € 10 a year, it is more difficult to charge them with a flat fee," he said. We have not set a uniform standard for fees. ”





Nathan also said they would charge for the classification. "It would seem strange to charge a fee. "he said.





SAP is also developing its own mobile apps. It will release some of its applications at the Sapphire Conference. The target areas of SAP mobile applications are in CRM (consumer Relationship Management), onsite maintenance and support services, logistics, health care, and retailing.

Bill McDermott revenues, who experienced a major recession during the economic crisis, also improved.





an expert said: "SAP is interested in a lot of things, but it also needs to solve a lot of problems."





"I think SAP is at a crossroads as a company," he said. The joy of being immersed in a company's recovery will put it in a dangerous position. "They did take some risks and I don't know if they can seize the opportunity quickly and realize the importance of competition," said Jon Reed, an independent analyst who closely followed the company. ”





"Take SAP's plan for mobility," said Reed,





"They do have good ecosystems, but they can't attract the underlying innovative developers like Apple's platform." SAP needs to develop a program that attracts developers. ”





"Other SAP products are the same, including Hana. "This is a platform era, and Google and Apple have proved it to people." ”
