- SAP is crashing in the chasm
- In Geoffrey Moore's work, the ERP product space was characterized as moving from Main Street to the laggard market. SAP crossed that chasm years ago. SAP, Oracle and Microsoft are attempting to own the software platform with the view of customer lock in. I believe that Moore's view of owning the platform was based on the notion that the platform has value. The reality is that the software infrastructure: middleware, IDEs, databases, portals etc. has very little value because of open standards, open systems and open source. SAP, Oracle and Microsoft are having difficulty achieving revenues in platforms without bundling more and more for free. And, there is very little switching costs to move from one database to another or from one IDE to another.
