SAP to Buy Market-Analytics Startup Qualtrics for $8 BillionThe German software giant is counting on the deal to bolster it in the customer-relationship management software business, where Salesforce.com has the lead. What a great buy !!! So wait !! What happens now ?!? No stocks ? Given SAP acquisition of subpar technologies like Crystal, I’m assuming Qualtrics is offering something rendered useless 5 years ago. SAP made mistake. They will take loss, when all said and done. It's even worst than RHT being baught by IBM.
