SAP to Acquire Ariba, Expand Cloud Presence - First Impressions » The TEC Blog
events, AribaLIVE 2012 and SAPPHIRE NOW 2012 , there was no inkling of this development .

SAP AG has seemingly crossed a strategy chasm, from a strict, stodgy, Not-Invented-Here (NIH) approach to software development and delivery, to a seemingly quite open approach of broad development alliances, company acquisitions, Internet portals development, and a deep, new relationship with IBM for both technology sharing as well as bolstering IBM Consulting’s support for SAP’s new multiple mySAP.com™ initiatives.
