Christensen of Harvard Business School and his classic book \"The Innovator \u0301s Dilemma,\" leading corporations like SAP should keep their hands off disruptive innovations anyway - that's only for startups.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, according to SAP's statement, there is again a new version of the Data Hub, which is supposed to be a \"complete solution for orchestrating data processing\". Whether this extended path to \"Rome\", among many others, will really bring the digital transformation forward among SAP's existing customers is doubtful.<\/p>\n<p>It would be helpful to consolidate all Exchange infrastructure and data hub efforts as well as MDM (Master Data Management) solutions.
