SAP user group slams 'uncertainty' in ERP giant's API policy
"Jens Hungershausen, chairman of the German-speaking user group DSAG board, stated that every function module inside SAP is an API. He emphasized that the lack of clarity regarding which APIs are allowed creates uncertainty for customers and their partners, potentially stifling innovation."
"Hungershausen expressed concern that the unclear formulation of the API policy might deter customers from adopting innovations, including AI, that connect to SAP systems. He noted that uncertainty leads to inaction, which poses a risk to innovation."
An influential SAP user group criticized the vendor's new API policy for its lack of clarity, which may prevent users from starting new projects and innovating. The policy restricts users to building within SAP-endorsed architectures and refers to an API Hub of approved interfaces. Critics argue that the approved list is poorly managed. The uncertainty surrounding which APIs are allowed could deter customers from adopting innovations, including AI. The user group plans to publish FAQs to clarify the policy.
