James Governor’s Monkchips » SAP Grocks Governance Risk and Compliance: the new ERP
James Governor’s Monkchips » SAP Grocks Governance Risk and Compliance: the new ERP: "SAP put a clear stake in the ground for GRC leadership when it acquired Virsa last year and the numbers are beginning to look pretty good. No startup has emerged from the pack though there are a host of compliance specialists such as Open Text, Paisley Software, Protivity etc - in the market, and newer entrants such as iWay. Amit said:
“We want to be the Siebel of GRC.”
But not get acquired by Oracle obviously. So what does SAP’s GRC’ momentum look like?
Amit claims the last fiscal quarter saw 300% growth.
A year ago SAP had 800 customers, now it has 1800…
“I close more deals in a quarter than my competitors ever have…”
That’s Amit sounding like the Shai Agassi protege he is… He also offered some eye popping stats about the ever increasing regulatory burden, and the need for compliance oriented architecture services.
PwC apparently estimates there have been 114k new US regulations since the Reagan Administration
Cisco As A Flagship
Cisco chose GRC as a platform, even though it’s a wall to wall Oracle apps shop. I don’t know anything about this claim but I aim to follow it up. Very interesting."
