The goal here is to ease integrations with both the SAP ERP and CRM solutions.

Historical integrations relied on middleware, proprietary libraries, and likely custom ABAP code.

Are you part of SAP Graph team?

If so, can you expand on above, wrt to workforce person, skills, travel request API resources in the explorer? These aren’t part of either CRM or ERP. Mostly, they come from SAP acquisition products (SuccessFactors and Concur)

My thinking is that SAP doesn't have that kind of culture like Amazon has, nor do they operate at Amazon-like speeds, so I would say the risk would be minimal for a decent startup. Hell they might even try to buy you at first, not the worst thing in the world!

> upstream SAP to change the API or remove API features

Valid in equal measure with any API provider though.

> powerful startup which SAP enterprises love to use

you mean a startup which provides “enterprise grade”, definition of which SAP itself helped to make? (also rhetoric)

To be fair it is more likely that this will be used by existing enterprise customers of SAP who otherwise would consider migrating off.

I just played with preview APIs. Can’t imagine what edge enterprise customers get over anyone else who’s willing to use it

It’s more for Indian outsourcing companies to build spaghetti code line of business applications for large-cap B2B companies.
