Executive Summary
SAP announced the acquisition of Khimetrics, the Arizona-based best-of-breed vendor known for its base pricing solutions.

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?
