Question & Answer
Q: How did you determine these to be the 8 solution areas?
A: Not easy; aligned what SAP calls the "portfolio" categories
Q: I think the pricing needs to be sensitive to PPP across geographies. For example, Average SAP salaries in India is around Euro 1200. There is no chance an independent consultant buying a professional edition. How are the adoption in APAC region?
A: Challenging topic; this is the latest "move" - fresh from the decision table to provide a 45% discount; there is no concrete discussions and SAP will listen to the market
