Bill McDermott in May 2014 will evolve as the sole CEO of SAP AG, the world-wide leader in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) area.The case happens at a time when the company's stock is near record high at the investors assembly of SAP, in January 2014. The business was committed by a 2010 strategy to cloud computing to a transition. The essential driver at the back-side of this transition was the structuring of SAP HANA, an in-memory computing technology that merged database, data processing, and application platform functionality.
Possession of cloud infrastructure proved to be an essential question. SAP own could build, and run its own data centers, or associate to locate SAP HANA and other products with other cloud infrastructure providers, such as Amazon, Microsoft, or IBM. McDermott also had to make decisions round the organization and leadership of the cloud efforts of the company.
