Still think that the majority of the largest SAP sites are running on an oracle platform. This means that outside the solution and technology the Oracle / Hyperion folks have a commercial and business relationship as well as strong technology foothold. This means they have great access from which to do business! still want to hear about some head to heads between the two in this space and to hear who won and why!!

Definitely SAP ERP is a great platform to support SAP strategy. People sometimes say: ‘remember, database is Oracle’. However, consultants, from ERP or BI, don't get a lot of database. It runs behind the ERP and we don’t care, most of the times, if is SQL or Oracle there. It is Basis issue. SAP is trying to even get a piece of Oracle cake. BO, via Universe, can connect direct to database and create reports and queries. It is a nice battle to watch (and participate).

I have now heard of another Hyperion partner being acquired and also noted recently that one of the main advocates for SAP BI in the USA (David Dixon) has joined Hyperion. Still very interested to get any insight into any head to heads between SAP and Oracle/Hyperion in this area and to hear who is winning and why? especially when it is an account using SAP for ERP rather than Oracle.

Hi Alan, Nice topic! As SAP BW, SEM-BSC and Visual Composer consultant I agree with you: there are a lot of activities going on around this topic. SAP is trying to clarify more its strategy within SAP Business Objects CPM. SAP is also trying to separete SAP BW from SAP 'BI' once BO tools are more related with top layer than DW structure. We could spend hours talking about all this. Keep going! Regards, Gilson
