"classic enterprise software" is turn-key.... The challenges for SAP to transform themselves into a profitable SaaS are no different than any enterprise SaaS trying to be profitable.

no. classic SAP or ORA is generic, they have certain industry templates but applying them is far from easy and fast. there is no way to simply turn on SAP CRM and start working with it say as a biotech.
