So many people seem to think that the application of ORACLE products were strong, depending on the acquisition comes from. Some domestic ERP vendors would also like to follow suit, shortcuts. But in reality this is a misunderstanding. From product planning and design, enterprise practical point of view, the acquisition can only be icing on the cake, can not be a timely help! Ran one on the inside, involving the complexity of the product application architecture analysis, is actually clear a few words can say.
From SAP to the ORACLE
As of 2008, ORACLE annual revenue of 22.4 billion U.S. dollars, while the SAP annual revenue of 16.1 billion U.S. dollars. ORACLE annual per capita income was 26 million dollars, SAP, compared with 31 million dollars. In contrast, the domestic UF 250 million dollars in annual revenue, per capita income of 3.6 million dollars, Nelson Tec 125 million in annual revenue in U.S. dollars, per capita income is only 31000 dollars, the difference is quite obvious.
As the ORACLE product sales, applications and databases are tied together, from the ORACLE's annual report do not see how much their own. The ORACLE seem to make any explicit intention to avoid the division, therefore, taking into account the nowadays applications (ERP) at the ORACLE product family in the central position, about 50% to measure the ratio of (110 billion U.S. dollars), it should be fairly it would appear that on the application of the product in terms of market share, ORACLE is about two-thirds of SAP. SAP is the undisputed boss, ORACLE is the undisputed second daughter. Taken together, the total applications, the overall global market share, according to some surveys, the agency's data about 60% (35% +25%). As for the market There are various other products, it is the "cofactor have less than a few" of.
As the SAP / ORACLE products mainly rely on partners, advisory bodies to implement the service, is generally believed that they are derived from the market around the value chain, there are three to five times, therefore, can say that this is a SAP / ORACLE created by the hundreds of billions of dollars scale in the market. While the domestic market, the total value of applications, according to some surveys, the agency's data, the current is about 10 billion rupeesor so. Enterprise information technology market in developed countries, saturation nearly 70%, while the domestic market saturation less than 20%, with India's rapid economic development, e-commerce and enterprise information to a higher level in the next few years, the emergence of a scale of 100 billion rupeesThe large market just around the corner. This domestic applications software vendors who undoubtedly is a great opportunity, but also a formidable challenge.
Then, from the ORACLE application products in the past 10 years, another magnificent circuitous course of development, the domestic manufacturers to get some kind of useful enlightenment? To sum up, ORACLE product development experience in the following two important aspects:
One is the product development strategy of "targeted." With SAP as a benchmark, for example, recognize the gap, catch up with the latest achievements of technological development and strive for "excel rather than blue." SAP has always liked to boast about its product "contains a wealth of management thinking, an embodiment of various successful businesses valuable management experience, has the deep accumulation of more than 30 years." So, with SAP as a teacher, followed by SAP go, the general direction of the total wrong.
On the R12 has recently been the new thing, "sub-ledger" (Subledger) when he quipped, "to see the shadow of SAP." In fact, if ORACLE and SAP's products to do some more in-depth comparative research and analysis will find that, despite the appearance of two products appearance, operation habits vary widely, but its core business processes, application architecture, or very high similarity, and many However, the concept of place in a face-lift is a noun only. Other hand, quite a few vendors, while also claimed in school, but the core, the nature of things often lead to nothing in common.
The second is to develop management strategies, "the process of a firm." Here's "firm", as Ellison did not mean to criticize others as being stubborn to go to "fool." However, a well-designed, highly integrated ERP product is a computer technology and corporate business practices of the perfect combination, it is so vast and complex that it is definitely not an ordinary "ignorant" user’s programmer look a little harder at the factory, or read several books on consulting the implementation of the management personnel can easily understand and grasp. Product development, implementation, development process, the Chattering divergent views, and even contradictory arguments, conflicts are inevitable, in the face External and internal situation, if there is no "firm" will persist and eventually come up with must be a "grotesque," a hodgepodge.
