Re: SAP Update
2025 is the end of extended support on most SAP products like the core ERP and CRM - as per http://support.sap.com/pam
At this time customers can decide to go to a HANA product, stay with existing product with a more expensive support cost (suspect the huge companies will go for this) or ditch SAP support and goto a 3rd party vendor for support (is even a valid option now)
Cannot say I have ever herd SAP putting their prices down, so you are probably correct there ;)
