SAP Sketches Out Plans for the Long Haul
SAP Sketches Out Plans for the Long Haul: "Kagermann said additional acquisitions are not out of the question, but will be along the lines of those the company made in the retail sector last year�in other words, no major buys.
'Our product strategy has been very transparent for a couple of years, and for the next couple of years we�ll continue that strategy,' Kagermann said.
'We think the roadmap will give us a lead over competitors for many years. Our guidance matches our long-term strategy.'
But there are still other factors to consider in weighing SAP�s future success.
This year is a decisive one for the company, with the first wave of products on the market that supports the company�s ambitions for 2010.
'If there are any risks, I see them in execution,' said Kagermann. 'This is a long-term horizon. I hope we don�t stumble, but we don�t intend to stumble.' "
