SAP Seeks to Raise Fees on Largest Software Partners
Summary
• None Ukraine Update: U.S. Imposes Sanctions on More Russian Elite • None Biden Says He’d Fight World War III for NATO But Not for Ukraine • None Tech Walls Off Russia Like Never Before, Posing New Risks for U.S. • None Satellite Images of Russian Tanks Fail to Penetrate Fog of War The discussions are part of a revamp of SAP’s partnership program that also is poised to make it easier for many other software vendors to work with SAP’s expansive line of tools. The effort is an attempt by SAP to leverage strong sales momentum for its signature product that runs back-office functions like accounting and procurement to get more money from partners who will benefit from that boost. Some partners “have been invited in to a higher-level tier and we’re in private negotiations.” In the consumer world, the software partnerships are akin to Alphabet Inc. paying Apple Inc. to be the default web browser on iPhones. The partnership changes also are important for other software vendors to be able to plug into SAP’s products, which support everything from supply chain oversight to expense management and hold valuable data about its corporate customers. • None Jeff Bezos Is Heading to Space and Partying on Earth While Amazon Faces a Host of Challenges • None Peloton Got Trapped in Its Trillion-Dollar Fantasy • None ADHD Drugs Are Convenient To Get Online.
