SAP Acquires Pilot Software

SAP announced the acquisition of business performance management firm Pilot Software. James Governor of RedMonk does a pretty good write up. It's worth a read.

Flagship product PilotWorks competes with the likes of Cognos and Business Objects at the dashboard end of the analytics stack, where key performance indicators are at stake. The acquisition will help SAP to compete more effectively against these players, and their partners, notably IBM, and competitors, Microsoft and Oracle.
