SAP Wins a Big One – Maybe!

February 15, 2008

Judge Orders Oracle Vs. SAP To Mediation | www.informationweek.com

This suit was always about corporate image, rather than specific damages.  The longer and bigger that Oracle can make the suit, the more adverse publicity SAP gets.  Mediation is therefore a big win for SAP, unless Oracle is able to dig up more dirt.
