I think there's a lot of misunderstanding here. Sure it's a large number but ultimately it's a testament to how Enterprises increasingly understand the criticality of customer satisfaction. In other words, Enterprises can be flying blind if they don't understand what's going on and it's actually very valuable to control the most popular platform used for understanding customers. Put another way, this is a little bit like Microsoft buying LinkedIn but instead of focused on the network of who works where it's focused on the network of Enterprise knowledge about their customers. Aka a key piece of CRM.
- netcan 8y agoWhat the article points out as notable is the price. I agree sap they probably have a reason why they want to buy this company, even at this price. But, the question is, why is the price so high? ...more about the market than the buyer's needs. Even if you are willing to buy potatoes for £10/kg because of a special recipe, it still begs the question of why you had to.
