The Sybase acquisition is “in character” for SAP: It is the “Rolls Royce solution”, but rather heavy to implement and rather expensive. Its large developer base offers a definite advantage to customers over less well known thin client solutions.
Nevertheless, thin-client solutions may be an attractive rapid and low-cost alternative to “mobilise” a range of solutions. Companies must take a closer look to make well-founded decisions.
The price of the Sybase acquisition appears very high for the benefits SAP is going to draw from it. Mobile business needs to literally explode if SAP is to generate enough value from this acquisition before having to adjust the value in its books with the 40% goodwill premium.
