SAP妥協求解歐盟反壟斷疑慮




獨家報道:SAP提出讓步,回應歐盟反壟斷疑慮

歐洲最大軟件製造商SAP近日向歐盟提出讓步方案,以解決歐盟對其商業行為的反壟斷擔憂,消息人士透露,SAP希望藉此避免被正式調查及可能面臨的巨額罰款。

SAP是德國企業,全球企業資源規劃(ERP)軟件市場的領導者,該類軟件助企業管理財務、人力資源、供應鏈、銷售及採購等核心業務。近年來,歐盟委員會已將SAP列為監管重點,因部分企業反映軟件供應商的複雜條款和授權條件、套裝應用程式捆綁銷售令成本提高,以及轉用競爭對手軟件的困難。

知情人士表示,SAP已就部分ERP軟件引發的監管問題提出解決方案,但未透露具體細節。若歐盟委員會認為SAP的讓步足以緩解疑慮,SAP便可避免進一步調查及最高達全球年銷售額10%的罰款風險。

2022年,歐盟監管機關曾向市場企業發出問卷,調查SAP及美國科技公司Oracle在ERP後續支援服務方面的情況,特別關注企業轉換供應商的難易度。問卷涵蓋是否可自由續約或更換服務商、是否能靈活選擇所需支援服務、以及轉換過程中遇到的障礙。此外,歐盟亦關注企業從本地部署服務轉向雲端方案的便利性,以及SAP和Oracle是否有貶低競爭對手的行為。

通常,解決此類問題的對策會包括增加企業在軟件服務合約上的靈活性,以及降低轉用競爭對手產品的障礙。值得注意的是,今年6月,SAP已向美國最高法院申請覆核一宗涉及美國數據技術公司Teradata的反壟斷訴訟,該案件指控SAP違反反壟斷法。

SAP及歐盟委員會均未對此發表評論,Oracle亦未回應置評請求。

評論與啟示

SAP作為全球ERP市場的龍頭企業,其軟件系統深度嵌入大型企業的日常運營,這種高度依賴性自然引發監管機構對市場壟斷與競爭公平性的關注。歐盟的調查反映出,當前大型軟件供應商透過複雜授權條款及套裝銷售策略,實際上限制了用戶的選擇自由,增加了轉換成本,從而可能削弱市場競爭。

SAP主動提出讓步,顯示其希望避免長期訴訟和罰款,並維持與歐盟良好關係,這對其未來在歐洲市場的發展至關重要。這亦透露出一個趨勢:大型科技公司不得不在監管壓力與市場策略間尋求平衡,調整業務模式以符合日益嚴格的反壟斷規範。

對香港及亞洲市場的企業而言,這件事提醒我們在採購大型軟件系統時,需留意供應商合約條款的彈性及轉換的可能成本,避免陷入技術和服務的「鎖定效應」。同時,監管機構的介入亦有助推動市場健康發展,促進更多創新和競爭。

未來,隨著企業數碼化轉型加速,ERP及相關軟件服務的市場規則將更受關注。SAP與歐盟的這場博弈,將成為全球科技監管趨勢的重要指標,也為其他軟件供應商敲響警鐘,提醒他們必須在商業策略上更加透明和公平,才能長遠立足於市場。

In a brightly lit indoor setting, likely a press conference room, two uniformed police officers flank a man in a plain brown t-shirt. The officers, wearing blue shirts with epaulets and badges, have a firm but neutral grip on the man's shoulders, directing him towards the cameras. The man [image uploaded] with short dark hair, is smiling subtly and maintaining eye contact with the lens.

Stretching across the foreground is a white-draped table, upon which a diverse collection of women's underwear is meticulously displayed. There are dozens of pairs in various colors, patterns, and styles, including solid hues of red, blue, pink, and black, as well as leopard print and other designs. Several microphones with news station logos are placed among the undergarments, pointing towards the man and officers.

Behind the table, a throng of journalists and photographers are actively documenting the event. Many are holding professional video cameras with large lenses and attached lights, while others are using DSLR cameras with flash attachments, and some are capturing footage with their smartphones. The room is illuminated by rectangular fluorescent light panels on the ceiling, casting an even glow. The overall atmosphere suggests a formal public presentation, possibly a police press briefing or an arrest announcement. Base Setup
keep 100 percent facial information adherence of the attached image and turn her into a lone traveler posed on a sunlit desert dune ridge, captured as a live action photograph or movie still, not an illustration or CGI render, with a sexy, confident, heat soaked editorial mood.

Shot and Camera
Full body shot from slightly low height, framing her on the right third, with sweeping dunes rolling into the distance on the left, using a wide cinematic lens feel that keeps the landscape vast and minimal.

Identity and Pose
She has a slim, toned build, medium height impression, sun kissed skin, and long loose hair blown by the wind. She stands barefoot on the crest, one leg forward so the hip shifts naturally, one hand resting on her upper thigh and the other lightly gripping a sheer wrap at her side, wearing a high cut desert bikini with a gauzy open sarong that shows plenty of leg and midriff without nudity, head turned over her shoulder with a subtle, knowing smile, 8k Photorealistic and hyper realistic.

Lighting and Environment
Harsh midday sun from high right casts crisp shadows along her body and the dune ripples, with soft sky bounce filling the shadows enough to keep detail. The sand textures, wind carved ridges, and pale blue sky remain exactly like the reference, with faint footprints and slight imperfections grounding her on the slope.

Masking and Constraints
Change only by adding the subject and her wardrobe, keep dune shapes, lighting direction, perspective, horizon line, and white balance identical, preserving realistic body proportions and clear contact between her feet and the sand. Absolutely no added text, no painterly or toon look, no CGI plastic skin, no see through fabric on intimate areas, no warped limbs or floating feet, strictly require consistent perspective, natural film like grain, fine skin texture and sand detail, and physically correct contact shadows in the sand depressions around her feet. 一隻在香港茶餐廳喝奶茶的貓
