SAP Development Chief Leukert to Make Software More Lego-Like

SAP AG veteran Bernd Leukert, thrust into the role of development chief this month after the surprise departure of Vishal Sikka, says the German software giant’s products should resemble those of toymaker Lego AS.
SAP applications need to be shaped around building blocks rather than a “monolith” to let customers tailor to their needs, Leukert said at a press event today in Walldorf, Germany. SAP’s next key goal is to broadly proffer the Business Suite -- its mainstay product -- over its home-grown fast-running database called Hana, he said.
