Working on further development of SAP's human resources solutions would be another important area for SAP Labs India.

Bangalore has been a very successful base for SAP's South Asia operations and there's also a good market out here in India explained Udo Urbanek, co-director, SAP Labs India.

Peter Zencke, executive board member, SAP, said SAP Labs India would also look at PC-based applications.

He argued that ERP products have not outlived their utility, claiming that it is the term 'enterprise resource planning' that is outdated and that ERP nomenclature is hardly a comprehensive way to describe products such as SAP's R/3.
