SAP loses ground to Oracle

Australian IT

SAP, whose new software sales plunged 33 per cent last quarter, is struggling to wrest orders from Oracle as more customers such as Jeff Kuckenbaker opt for the US company's software and services to run businesses.

Mr Kuckenbaker, who manages technology at Star Trac, a California fitness equipment company with four million clients in 75 countries, picked Oracle over SAP last month to tie its diverse computers into a seamless network.

Oracle's range of products let him link operations "without having to be in the business of software integration".
