SAP AG has announced plans to buy Ariba Inc in a deal valuing the business and commerce network company at $4.3 billion (2.73 billion pounds).
Carter Lusher, chief IT analyst at Ovum, has the following comments:
"This acquisition is less about Ariba's global trading network than a "talent grab" about the business issues of cloud computing and technical insights on developing applications for the cloud. However, per Ovum's MANTRA analysis [see attached] this acquisition has many other motivations as well. These include marketplace factors like acquiring customers and revenue stream and moving into adjacent markets in addition to building block
