Furthermore, for the next 18 months, approx. 80% of license revenue will come from its existing customer base, who will want to either replace an old MAPICS product or add new modules to an existing MAPICS XA installation.

Abstract: So why would users switch from AOL’s Instant Messaging client to Microsoft’s? Quite simple really, throw in free long distance phone service, offer a comparable and competitive set of base features, and then to make sure you succeed, give it away for free. And just to add injury to insult Microsoft wirelessly enabled the release to embrace the interaction of WAP enabled devices with its user base.
Abstract: Although SAP’s recently announced tamed results for Q1 2002, which fit within the current market milieu, may add to some challenges moving forward, particularly seen from sharply reduced license revenue, and while some may question SAP’s justification of assimilating its two former subsidiaries, SAP has meanwhile become much more alert and diverse to spar with difficulties.
