"SAP passes an image of a predictable company where innovation doesn't really happen (whether that's true or not is irrelevant - perception is what counts)."
Whose perception? That's not my perception. SAP has innovation in a number of areas, including in memory databases.
- raydevtube 15y agoSAP did not create Hana in-memory database. They wrote a check to buy it. I don't think that qualifies as innovative.
- AndyNemmity 15y agoThey did create it. Who do you think they bought it from? It came out of the TREX project, that is an SAP project.
- mistermumble 15y agoWrong. Hana came from a company founded in 2000 by Sang Cha, a Stanford University professor, that spent 5 years developing this and was acquired by SAP in November 2005. This acquisition then formed the basis of SAP R&D Korea.
- AndyNemmity 15y agoI stand corrected. Thank you!
