I do think that SAP wants to have a great platform from which to build and extend SAP applications, but that's as far as it goes. Acquiring BEA would signal an intention they just don't seem to have the will for. Rick,
I don’t think SAP is truly serious about winning in the platform technology market. I do think that SAP wants to have a great platform from which to build and extend SAP applications, but that’s as far as it goes.

Acquiring BEA would signal an intention they just don’t seem to have the will for.

One missing piece of the puzzle for most of the app server vendors is a robust solution for managing and developing in an SOA world...WebMethods arguably had some of the best SOA infrastructure and management tools, but they're already gone. Aqualogic might be the thing that would push SAP over the top if they really wanted to make NetWeaver a non-SAP app platform (and a really good SAP app platform). Just a thought....
