Mark Brunelli, News Editor

The third enhancement package for SAP ERP 6.0 brings to mind one of
the differences between enterprise
resource planning (ERP) giant SAP and its arch nemesis, Oracle Corp.,
at least for one IT industry
analyst.

Unveiled yesterday, the new enhancement package adds more than 1,400
optional business functions to the
latest version of SAP ERP -- functions that customers running SAP's
service-oriented architecture (SOA)
framework can activate incrementally as needed via "a simple
download" instead of having to go through a
time-consuming and complex full software upgrade process, according
to SAP.

Many of the new features in the enhancement package were designed to
meet the needs of specific
industries, or industry verticals, including but not limited to the
retail, manufacturing and public
sectors. That's where the big difference with Oracle can be found,
according to Ray Wang, a business
applications analyst with Cambridge, Mass.-based Forrester Research
Inc.
