In this video, I discuss two recent ERP lawsuits involving SAP and Oracle.
- In March 2025, Celonis sued SAP in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging in a 61-page complaint that SAP excludes process mining competitors and other third-party providers from its ecosystem.
- According to Celonis, SAP makes it virtually impossible for its customers to work with non-SAP process mining solutions because sharing data from the SAP system with third-party solutions is subject to excessive fees.
SAP's strategy seems to be clear: charge its customers excessive fees to access their own data.
- This has significant implications for any company that uses third-party AI functionality with data in its SAP ERP system.
Oracle faces another ERP fraud lawsuit.
- Earlier this year, Veronica's Auto Insurance Services, Inc., filed suit against Oracle/Netsuite alleging fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of contract.
Does all of this sound familiar?
