More on the ~$6.8B SAP/BOBJ deal
The purchase marks a radical change of strategy for SAP, which in contrast to its US rival Oracle which spent more than 25 billion dollars on acquisitions since 2004, has instead opted more for organic growth.
SAP also bought management software producer Hyperion in March for 3.3 billion dollars.

I thought that it was Oracle that acquired Hyperion - NOT SAP??
That's correct -- Oracle acquired Hyperion, and SAP just acquired Business Objects.
Thanks for the catch -- I didn't notice the error in the original article in the first place...
