no Buyer, no Future Perspective
Software Company SAP SE fail to secure Buyer or strategic Partner for SAP Business ByDesign. Sales stop and Development end. Message clear: SAP no longer see independent Future for Business ByDesign. For affected Companies, this signal show that former strategic Solution for Midmarket become final Phase-out Product.
Maintenance instead Innovation
Existing Customers continue use Business ByDesign, but remain pure Maintenance. Security Updates and legal Adjustments still provide, but functional Enhancements and strategic Development no longer plan. Without Roadmap and without Investment, System lose Relevance. Transition from productive ERP System to pure Legacy System now complete.
Legacy System is not neutral State
ERP without Development mean growing Risks: decreasing Market Know-how, rising Operating Costs, increasing Dependency on outdated Technology. At same time, legal Requirements from HGB, AO and GDPR remain for many Years. Companies carry permanent Responsibility for System abandoned by Manufacturer. State lead sooner or later to significant Problems.
