W. Shakespeare; 81. 9-12.

Michael, your thin slice view of the TMS/SaaS market may be preventing you from realizing that $250K to a major corporation is not even an accounting error, let alone something to worry about.

Technology and organizational efforts that are expected to have a % impact on corporate results at that scale are worth millions/tens/hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, and those kinds of investments are in fact made all the time.

We just happen to operate in a different world ;-)

Alas SuccessFactors, we barely knew ye. We shall know ye again in the world of SAP….

A huge part of SAP’s model is consulting at a very high dollar ammount. Talent Management software doesn’t draw the big bucks like HRMS and some of their other offerings. I predict the slow decline of the product line and a near halt on innovation. An SAP project manager draws 250k plus and you won’t sell that competitively in the SaaS TMS space.
