Oracle Takes Aim at SAP Customers - -
Oracle Takes Aim at SAP Customers - -: "With its partner Systime Computers, Oracle is extending its support program to partners that support SAP's R/3 software. SAP is moving its customers away from R/3 to the newer mySAP ERP applications. Oracle says SAP may pull the R/3 support rug out from under users as soon as the end of next year.
SAP applications run on a number of different databases, with Oracle's one of the most popular. Oracle is keen to encourage those SAP users, some of whom also are using Oracle's Fusion middleware, to switch to Oracle applications, offering a 100 percent license credit as a sweetener.
Oracle plans to set up a Solution Support Center for R/3 support providers to help them run the SAP applications on Oracle databases. The company says the support services Systime will offer could cost 55 percent less than SAP charges. "
