SAP finally responds to Oracle Complaint
Jul 3 2007, 2:03am CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr
Oracle sued SAP back in March for corporate theft. Today SAP filed an answer to the Oracle complaint.
In the answer, SAP said TomorrowNow was authorized to download materials from Oracle's Web site on behalf of TomorrowNow customers. At the same time, SAP acknowledged that some inappropriate downloads of fixes and support documents occurred at TomorrowNow. Importantly, SAP affirmed that what was downloaded at TomorrowNow stayed in that subsidiary's separate systems. SAP did not have access to Oracle intellectual property via TomorrowNow.
"Even a single inappropriate download is unacceptable from my perspective. We regret very much that this occurred," said Henning Kagermann, CEO, SAP AG. "I want to reassure our investors, customers, partners and employees that SAP takes any departure from the high standards we set for all of our businesses very seriously, regardless of where it occurred or how confined it may be. When I learned what happened, I promptly took action to strengthen operational oversight at TomorrowNow while assuring that we maintain excellent service for TomorrowNow's customers going forward."
SAP stated that it did not have access to Oracle materials downloaded by TomorrowNow. SAP explained that it intentionally created a business structure that maintained a firewall between TomorrowNow and SAP and that it was satisfied that SAP AG or SAP America did not access Oracle intellectual property via TomorrowNow.
SAP created a site that informs about this lawsuit.
