'Boring' SAP Dismisses Open Source Threat
,----[ Quote ]
| Several factors will help protect SAP's ERP market share from open
| source, Kagermann said.
|
| He believes the boredom factor will be one of them, suggesting that
| open source developers like to work on "fun" projects, adding
| improvements that they can boast about.

Suppose Mr. Kagermann has not yet heard of /commercial/ Open Source software,
which can be downloaded and installed for free. It relies on support,
services, and setup. There is plenty of financial software that is platform
independent and Open Source nowadays. It benefits from patches contributed
by users, so development and testing is fast.
