Off topic? No! simply substitute Coffee for the C in HCM.

SAP, the world's biggest maker of business software, is preparing for slight growth at best next year in licence sales as the global

economic crisis continues to hurt its business, it said on Wednesday.

The German company scrapped its full-year revenue outlook and cut its profitability forecast three weeks ago, saying software sales had fallen off dramatically in the last two weeks of the third quarter.

"We're looking at all possible scenarios ... you can look at a decline in licence revenues, flat growth, maybe some small positive growth," co-Chief Executive Leo Apotheker told an investor conference in the Spanish city of Barcelona. SAP shares fell 0.9 per cent to 26.21 euros by 0843 GMT, underperforming a flat European technology index.

Apotheker said SAP's priority would be to protect margins with a 200 mn-euro ($252 mn) cost-cutting plan that currently includes a hiring freeze and travel restrictions, but could be extended to include structural measures if necessary.

Like other IT and software companies, SAP had previously argued that it was insulated from the worst of the downturn because its products and services help customers save money. It said spending decisions by customers slowed in mid-2007 as they required authorisation from higher in their organisations, but until last month said those decisions were still being taken. Microsoft has also cut its outlook, though by less than the market had feared.

SAP's arch-rival Oracle, against whom it is defending itself in a drawn-out and bitter intellectual property lawsuit, will report results in December. Apotheker said SAP would now subsidise small and mid-sized enterprises -- among whom the fall-off in demand was most pronounced -- by helping them arrange financing and paying their interest for the first year.

Asked at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecoms conference whether the measure had stimulated sales, he replied: "Let's put it this way -- there was a lot of demand for it."

Apotheker emphasised that SAP was better positioned to weather tough conditions than it had been in the dot.com crash, with about 40 per cent of its revenues from recurring support and subscription streams -- compared with about 20 per cent in 1998. He added that SAP still expected to be able to win market share in the current conditions

Hope for the best

Dear All,

What I have learnt from My seniors , Friends & Collegues...It took SAP more than 40+ to Make itself so much marketable.

It exists in the Blood of any consultant and has penetrated almosts all dimensions.

My seniors says stick to it it will always give a return for sure.

But In these years of recession and too much suppy of the SAP skillset people have made life difficult for Consulting people.

As matter of fact , in india there are not many projects in SAP in 2008 as compared to 2006 2005 2007

Some of the Aspiring Consultants have left their domain Jobs to Work in the SAP platforms.

Today they are struggling to achive what they have left.The renumaration for that matter........

Do we see saturation of SAP R/3 Skill set, I want to ask you Guys ? (Specially in SD MM HR functionals )

We do hope the demands of SAP consultants rise again in the Near future and hardwork of all the Consultants will pay rewards in heaps and bounds....

Wish All...the very best.

regards,

A S
