SAP Agreement to Resell Livelink the First Step in the Acquisition Tango?
Interesting announcement earlier this week from Open Text and SAP. It looks like these two long-time partners have decided to move a bit closer together and have signed a formal agreement for SAP to resell Open Text’s flagship Livelink product.
This could just be part of the process that companies go through when trying to expand their markets or it could be somthing more. There have been been persistent rumors that Open Text’s acquisition of Hummingbird has opened the door for Open Text to themselves become a takeover target (Russ Stalters has blogged about it and CBR Online has an opinion as well).
Seems to me that SAP and Open Text have been dating for a while and have decided to move in together as they figure out if they really are compatible for marriage. Will we be hearing wedding bells in the not-too-distant future?
