Two Familiars

Two links highlighting how two familiar companies are getting in to the world of SaaS:

SAP Pursues On-Demand Model, BPP

Quoting:
SAP's CEO Henning Kagermann has in the past said the company would come out with a hosted version of its software, but that it would do so in a manner that's somehow different from the prevailing market leaders' platforms.

Those vendors, including Siebel Systems Inc. (which is in the process of being acquired by SAP arch-rival Oracle Corp.), Salesforce.com and NetSuite Inc., offer hosted versions of CRM (customer relationship management) and ERP (enterprise resource planning) suites, along with a variety of add-on products.
