SAP, in a market battle with arch-rivals Oracle and Software AG for market share in database, cloud middleware and application services, reported on 10 January that it significantly improved its financial numbers during the last year.
In a preliminary financial brief to selected media members prior to its fourth-quarter SEC earnings report on 21 January, the Walldorf, Germany-based company said its full-year IFRS (international financial reporting standards) software and cloud subscription revenue increased 10 percent to $7.2 billion (£4.5bn).
Total software and software-related service revenue grew 11 percent to $19 billion.
SAP HANA, an in-memory database for real-time applications, was a key growth factor for the company in 2013. HANA software revenue increased a whopping 69 percent in 2013 to $902 million.
“We are one of the few global tech companies that has successfully managed the transition to the cloud while growing our core business and improving our profitability at the same time,” co-chief executives Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe said in a statement to the press.
