SAP reported yesterday it had another bumper qtr with
explosive growth esp. in the USA. It also said 
business growth is also coming at the expense of ORCL &
Lotus....

SAP will also be issuing a new class of common stock
priced in the 5 DM category... German stock exchanges
have some rules regarding equity pricing, apparently!!

Why ORCL? 
1. Because SAP will be able to use more than just Oracle in the future
2. Oracle is agressivly trying to grow its business through
applications. This area will be hurt by the growth of SAP and
Peoplesoft. Applications mean revenue for consulting as well. A very
high margin area.

Just my 2cents worth. I would consider Informix as a stronger RDBMS
horse to ride.

Both good points. How much consulting is SAP providing in comparison to 
3rd party consulting firms (SAP specific)?

865.3(German) SAP not yet traded in U.S. ...RTOEU::KPLUSZYNSKIDon't wait too long ...Wed May 17 1995 07:1813
    German Software house SAP has recently announced plans to convert their
    stock from DM 50 shares to DM 5 shares. That's in essence a 10-for-1
    stock split. 
    
    This is in line with a current trend in Germany, which is considered to 
    be a market with very 'heavy' share prices (~DM 400/share on average). A
    number of companies have announced plans to convert their stock to 5 DM
    face value. That's in almost all cases a 10-to-1 stock split.
    
    SAP also recently announced plans to offer ADR's on their stock in the
    US.
