SAP facing pressure from Oracle and Netsuite

SAP is seeing pressure from all the sides. Oracle, due to the recent acquisitions has been pushing SAP down this past year. The new software sales from SAP plunged 33% last quarter, while Oracle's stock has been performing better than SAP's. It may be even losing market share as the companies start looking for alternatives to SAP because of various reasons.

SAP is "clearly losing market share," said Adam Wood, a Paris-based analyst at Exane BNP Paribas who rates SAP "underperform." "Because of the acquisitions Oracle has made recently, it's left them with a bigger product range for their existing customers."

So, maybe after all, all the acquisitions by Oracle have started showing their results.
