SAP on Tuesday sent out a notice to employees that the deck chairs will be realigned following its mega-merger with Business Objects, according to sources close to the company.
SAP's business user organization, which is responsible for information worker and organizational performance applications, will be moved over to Business Objects, the sources said.
In some ways, that should come as no surprise.
SAP, as part of its US$6.8 billion Business Objects merger announcement in October, said Doug Merritt, the head of its Business User Development and a corporate officer, would join the Business Objects group and report to Business Objects Chief Executive John Schwarz, rather than Henning Kagermann, SAP's chief executive.
Post-merger, Business Objects will continue to operate as a standalone business under the SAP Group.
SAP's business user organization, according to its presentation to financial analysts in Vienna last year, includes Duet, enterprise search, mobile, Adobe Systems forms, and analytics dashboard, as well as governance, risk, and compliance software and corporate performance management software.
Kagermann and Business Objects executives plan to chew the fat with the press on this topic in greater detail Wednesday.
