Re: Missing a crucial data point: how many customers?
No, users are being forced on to HANA. Maybe one day, SAP will be able to explain clearly what a magic database/App Server is.
Confirmed for the chop is Lumira. Xcelsius is finally being killed off with the demise of Flash.
They've started adding new stuff to Crystal Reports, so maybe the pointless 'Crystal Reports for Enterprise' will be chopped too.
I'd also place money on the following being chopped (kudos is you know what they all do):
SAP IQ (overlap with HANA)
SAP Adaptive Server Platform (wtf is it?)
SAP Data Integrator (way too expensive)
SAP Powerdesigner
SAP SQL Anywhere
SAP ASE
SAP Mobile Platform Developer
SAP Predictive Analytics (outside bet, but I'd expect this to head cloudwards).
