destinationCRM.com: SAP's On-Demand CRM Valentine: "SAP announced this week that it will launch a hosted-CRM application in February, which the company hopes will allow it to compete further with Salesforce.com. CEO Henning Kagermann made the announcement during SAP's 2005 fiscal earnings briefing on Wednesday morning. Bill Wohl, spokesman for SAP, confirmed the news today. 'Our view is that existing on-demand products are very niche, and do not really meet customers' CRM requirements,' Wohl says. 'There has been a move away from best-of-breed CRM software vendors towards companies like SAP that offer companies suites integrating CRM with other enterprise applications.'"
