SAP: Keine Umsatzzahlen mehr
-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
Mit den märchenhaften Wachtumsraten der letzten Jahre von
40 Prozent & mehr ist's anscheinend endgültig vorüber, für
das Quartal I 99 gab die deutsche SAP, das grösste
Softwarehaus Europas, erst gar keine Zahlen bekannt. Der
Kurs ist binnen eines Jahrs mit minus 30 Prozent im Loch.
Ruchbar wurde zugleich, dass SAP einem Grosskunden in
Australien, der sich über die mühsame Implementation der
SAP-R3 Software [Lagerverwaltung, Buchhaltung, & c & c]
öffentlich geäussert hatte, Klage angedroht hatte.
post/scrypt: Auf offiziellen SAP-CDs fanden sich im Jahre 98
detaillierte Raster-Anleitungen für Führungskräfte, wie man
von Mitarbeitern Persönlichkeitsbilder erstellt..

HEIDELBERG, Germany--SAP said first-quarter pretax profit
will be considerably below the year-ago level as sales fall
short of expectations.
The Walldorf, Germany-based company, which had a pretax
profit of 331 million deutsche marks ($184 million) in the first
quarter of 1998, did not release figures for the quarter, which
ends March 31. Sales growth in the period will be slightly
below forecasts for full-year growth of 20 to 25 percent, SAP
said.
The company's preferred shares have dropped more than 30
percent this year on concern that SAP and its competitors
face slowing growth as companies delay software purchases
to focus on fixing their year 2000 computer problems. Rivals
PeopleSoft, Baan, and J.D. Edwards have all seen sales
slow.
"It's the millennium effect, and it's affecting the whole
industry," said Cornelis Bos, an analyst at ING Barings, who
has a "buy" rating on the shares. SAP's preferred shares
rose 4 euros, or 1.45 percent, to 280, retreating from a gain
of more than 4 percent before the announcement. The
company said at an analyst meeting earlier this month first-
quarter profit wouldn't meet expectations.
After years of profit growth of more than 40 percent on
demand for its flagship R/3 software, which helps companies
manage personnel, manufacturing, and accounting, SAP's
net income rose just 14 percent in 1998 as Asia's economic
problems crimped corporate earnings.
Problems in Japan, which account for 8 percent of sales, will
continue to plague the company in the first half, SAP co-
CEO Henning Kagermann said at a press conference. SAP
also faces waning demand for products that adjust
companies' operations for the year 2000 and the new
European currency. SAP's R/3 was among the first to
account for those changes.
