ITP.net {News: CEO: SAP in ME is �less than perfect�}: "The disclosure follows concerns expressed by Henning Kagermann, CEO of SAP, that he was not satisfied with the firm�s progress in the Middle East.
Speaking to journalists at SAP�s annual Sapphire user event, which was held in Paris, France, last month, Kagermann said that �our business in these areas is not perfect�.
He went on to say that the firm is only partially in control of proceedings in the region as its business is done there through SAP Arabia � its sole Middle East distributor.
�We decided some years ago to go with a sales partner,� he said. �If you have a partner which has the right to sell in the market, he also has the right to be successful or not,� he added."
