Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

SAP announced the acquisition of Khimetrics, the Arizona-based best-of-breed vendor known for its base pricing solutions. This acquisition sends retailers a strong message regarding SAP's commitment to the retail space. And while it fills in a gap in SAP's retail pricing offering and client base, the ERP vendor will need further augmentation to its retail offering through additional acquisition or in-house development investments. What does this mean for the retail pricing solution market? Does this create a better competitive position for SAP against Oracle, a chance for survival for Khimetrics, the kiss of death for DemandTec and yet another setback for i2 and Manugistics?
