SAP will disclose its Database plans on April 10 in San Francisco !!
SAP aims to become major database software maker…
* Move will heat up rivalry with Oracle Corp
* May also put SAP at odds with IBM, Microsoft
* To disclose plans at April 10 press conference
German software maker SAP AG says it intends to become a major provider of database software in a move that would heat up its long-running rivalry with Oracle Corp, led by Silicon Valley billionaire Larry Ellison.
SAP said it will disclose its plans at an April 10 news conference in downtown San Francisco, not far from Oracle’s headquarters in Redwood City, California.
The German company is the world’s biggest maker of business management software, which includes programs that manage tasks such as accounting, manufacturing and payroll. While Oracle is the No. 2 player in that market, it sells more software, thanks to its leadership in the multi billion-dollar market for databases.
