"Though to be honest most people who have worked with SAP still struggle explaining what SAP is."
Completely untrue. People that work at SAP are just like people working in startups or anywhere else. This is just made up fantasy. They can explain SAP, although at times perhaps only their area of expertise.
"I personally think SAP is a ridiculously overblown and complicated piece of software."
It isn't a piece of software, it's many pieces of software.
Some of those are complex, others are not.
"I see this move by SAP as wanting to shore competition up."
What does that even mean?!
The reality is as simple as you'd imagine. SAP is buying SuccessFactor because it doesn't have extensive experience in Cloud based delivery models, and would like to add their experience and infrastructure to SAPs.
Just like they did with Sybase, and Business Objects. This is completely obvious, and nothing in your comment made a lick of sense.
