SAP is emitting a dizzying flow of news from its Sapphire users conference in Copenhagen this week as it partners with giants in the tech world: IBM, Siemens, Microsoft and Macromedia. At this rate, analysts say, Oracle better learn how to partner like its arch rival, lest it wind up the wallflower at the enterprise applications dance.
To wit: On Tuesday, SAP AG announced that it will jointly develop software with Microsoft Corp., combining SAP's business applications and Microsoft's Office desktop applications.
SAP capabilities such as time management, budget monitoring, organizational management, and travel and expense management will hook directly into immensely popular desktop applications such as Excel, Outlook and Word—a combination that analysts say will set the bar for Oracle Corp., whose productivity tools have to compete with the popular Office software, and IBM, which could stand to integrate its various software offerings better."
