Was OutlookSoft the Best Choice for SAP?

No, I'm not on my high horse again on this one, whatever a high horse actually is (note: my interpretation on the left). But Doug Henschen pretty much mirrors my earlier thoughts in his Intelligent Enterprise article on the acquisition. Nice money quote at the end which pretty much sums it up:

"...it's clear to me that the early movers gain the best advantage by not only setting the trend but also by picking the best acquisition targets to fit the new strategy. Outlooksoft wasn't the best choice for SAP, but it was the best option still available."

Read it here for yourself and be impressed.
