Gonna get some hate of course but where’s SAP here? SaaS, private cloud in Rot, BW, Germany, and stringent data privacy as it’s a German company. Executes entirely under GDPR, ticks every of the boxes.

Europe’s biggest software company, never mentioned…

SAP is like Salesforce or SoftBank, in that nobody can figure out what they make or do, but the suits keep shoveling boxcars full of money at them for some reason.

  • A company I worked for introduced Salesforce shortly before I left. The license costs are off the charts, it's insane.

    Lidl wanted to introduce SAP and after investing 500 million Euro into it, they stopped and aborted the project entirely.

Because SAP isn't an "alternative" it's the dominant player of it's own field. What alternative does the US have to SAP might be another perspective worth examining?
