SAP
SAP NetWeaver arrives at a time when people are saying, 'We have no money.' And we are talking about a long-term investment, a strategy that pays off after an initial purchase. How do we overcome that? We don't expect customers to come in and do a big bang. This isn't mainframe to three-tier client-server, where you threw away the mainframe and then started fresh. This is an evolution, and we expect them to take years as they go from one process to the next, but they go at it from an architecturally sane point of view.
