There are hiring freezes and management are being very quiet about next FY it’s certainly not business as normal. Rumours of SAP buying DEVOPS/ADM

@19y 50% rev. comes from SAP.
I’m in ADM and while it’s technically possible I highly doubt they’ll sell us to SAP because that cuts off a huge portion of our customers. Furthermore while we do test for SAP we largely do more business with customers who buy for non-SAP testing projects (that’s not to say the spend we get from SAP-based buying isn’t large, though). It wouldn’t make sense for the business to sell to them also because that cuts off a huge portion of buyers that might need to test for Oracle instead of SAP.
@cv free money with not much investment is the OpenText way. However that can’t last long term.
The only company that can pull that off is IBM, where these products have been around since the 60’s:
https://www.ibm.com/products/ims
https://www.ibm.com/products/spss
But OpenText is not IBM, even with Ayman as our leader.
SMBC is free money for OT. Forget carbonite. The rest of secure cloud https://cybersecurity.opentext.com/platform/secure-cloud/ is free money with not much investments anyway which helps OT at this point.
@be ugh they need to go
Keeping smbc!! 😂😂 It has been wh--ed around all year, nothing positive in this for anyone I can assure you.
The SAP rumour has been around for years.
@be You heard that they couldn’t sell it in other words.
Heard OT is keeping SMBC which is good news for those in Zix, Pilr.
@a9 what product is cyber gas ?
Cyber gas had a hiring freeze for years. Right now every 4 people who leave results in 1 backfill
@OP that would be a big win for those staff that get to join SAP
