Giving the Hana database, which is new to SAP's existing customers, an open source platform is increasingly proving to be a smart strategy. Today, it's not just about the Linux\/Hana combination, but also about many other open source components such as CloudFoundry, OpenStack, GitHub, Docker, OpenShift, and so on.<\/p>\n

SAP's \"cloud first\" and \"cloud only\" decision, on the other hand, is a disaster. The SAP user association DSAG put it very clearly: Cloud only brings ERP into a dilemma. SAP will not succeed in achieving a unique selling point with \"cloud computing\" - the competitors are too big and too cheap: AWS, MS Azure, Google.<\/p>

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

The current cloud trend does not fit into the existing SAP concept anyway: Hybrid Cloud. SAP could still get along with multicloud if its own SAP Cloud Platform remains the leader in a cloud alliance of AWS, Azure and Google.<\/p>\n

But hybrid cloud with mixed operation of on-premise and on-demand, of private cloud and public cloud, etc. does not want to fit into the SAP dogma of \"cloud only\".<\/p>\n

Others do it better: IBM took over Red Hat and will build a convincing hybrid cloud concept with the Linux specialists. There is a lot at stake for IBM, because the IT provider now ranks behind AWS, MS Azure, Google and Alibaba. No one wants to know where SAP is positioned.<\/p>\n

What now? SAP could adapt its cloud-only strategy and take over Suse Linux and, with the help of these specialists, build a convincing open source concept for the SAP community - as an on-premise and cloud solution.<\/p>\n

Suse as part of SAP would also be an essential part of any future Hana success, and SAP could use Suse expertise to write a whole new cloud story, this time grounded and verified.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
