SAP buys Business Objects: The final round?

Writing by Jorgen on Monday, 8 of October , 2007 at 10:29 am

Yesterday SAP announced that they have agreed on a friendly take over with Business Objects. As they have already acquired Outlooksoft they can now work on integrating these seperate environments to create a complete DWH/BI/CPM platform. That means that SAS (privately owned), Teradata (just seperated from NCR) and Cognos are the last 3 men standing. So when will IBM annouce that they have bought Cognos? Or wil Microsoft swoop them away first? Fun times!See also my previous blogs: BOBJ for sale & kiss of death (vendor consolidation)
