Dear Business Objects Customer,
It is our sincere pleasure to welcome you as an SAP client. As you may know from the recent announcement, the acquisition of Business Objects by SAP is now concluded. Our primary focus continues to be your success and satisfaction.
Our plan is to make the combination of our companies bring greater choice and value to you. Together, our mission is to transform the way the world works by connecting people, information, and businesses. And ultimately, you — our customers — gain the ability to optimize business performance in new ways that will allow you to close the loop between your strategy and execution.
During the past three months, we have been working closely to ready ourselves to deliver on our customer commitments and future vision:
- Bring Business Objects into the SAP Group as an independent business unit focused on performance optimization and business intelligence
- Offer you the flexibility to choose the business applications, technology platform, and partner ecosystem that’s right for your business
- Protect your investments while we work in concert to deliver a consolidated and unified portfolio of solutions
- Deliver a broad solution portfolio to enable business performance optimization, starting with financial performance management and governance, risk, and compliance
- Deliver a next-generation business intelligence platform, starting with information discovery and delivery and enterprise information management, for any type and source of information
- Make available to our joint partners the advantages of our applications, technology, and worldwide resources to enable them to better serve our common customers
On February 12, 2008, we invite you to join us live in an online webcast where we will share our vision, strategy, product offerings, and more.
We have also set up Information Centers on the SAP and Business Objects websites for you to access all the latest resources and news related to the acquisition.
On behalf of Leo Apotheker, Deputy CEO and President of Customer Solutions and Operations, SAP, I hope that you will take advantage of this first opportunity to learn more about how you can benefit from the combined forces of our union. We look forward to continuing an open dialogue with you. Should you have any immediate questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Business Objects representative.
Regards,
John Schwarz
CEO, Business Objects, an SAP company
