SAP has a good database platform with Hana and has bought several software companies with a lot of money in the past. Now the time for consolidation seems to be approaching: The new CRM should get a structure, a strategy and a head!<\/p>\n

The world's best ERP programmers work for SAP. From a technical perspective, SAP is beyond reproach. But constructing a new CRM program from numerous legacy assets and just as many acquisitions is another dimension.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

First, the SAP technicians have to analyze the legacy and understand the purchased algorithms. It is a well-known Sisyphean task to understand foreign algorithms.<\/p>\n

Many attempts to revive old software have already failed - in the end, it was all too often decided to reprogram! SAP CEO Bill McDermott and CFO Luka Mucic emphasized the excellent process compatibility of all purchased software components.<\/p>\n

And really: A lot was already possible via interfaces based on NetWeaver PI (Process Integration) and the Hana Cloud Platform (HCP) - but SAP's new CRM \"C\/4 Hana\" is to become a consistent end-to-end process without media discontinuity.<\/p>\n

\"Platzgummer<\/p>\n

dThe effort for SAP will be enormous, and there is a great danger that the end result will be a CRM construct without clear lines and without a head.<\/p>\n

Do SAP's existing customers need this kind of egg-cellent CRM? E2E, at the beginning C\/4, at the end S\/4, may fascinate. The technical, organizational, and business effort could become unmanageable.<\/p>\n

Maybe not all employees in this E2E process want to work with SAP software? A consolidated database with the SAP Data Hub certainly makes a lot of sense, but why not start with an online store from Adobe\/Magento, then a CRM from Salesforce, some predictive analytics from Hana PAL, and configure-price-quote software from an SAP partner like Schaarschmidt, etc.?<\/p>\n

Existing customers want either best-of-breed with the SAP Data Hub or a CRM with hand, foot, and head. The technical, organizational, and business consolidation from Hybris to Gigya to Callidus - the SAP acquisitions of recent years - appears to be a mammoth task:<\/p>\n

Compare SAP's efforts to synchronize its acquired Hybris software with ERP\/ECC 6.0 - a project that still preoccupies many existing SAP customers today.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
