  37. When to consider SAP for Banking When searching for new banking platform functionality: Include SAP in your comparisons when You have an existing SAP environment. You need strong, individually deployable banking solutions. Your business demands strong support of product configuration. Your requirements fit to SAP’s currently still less than broad functional footprint. You see broad and rich business value coming from SAP for Banking’s plans and directions. Keep in mind: SAP in banking does not equal SAP for Banking — SAP’s financial services offering includes cloud, mobile, analytics, business applications, and apps infrastructure.

SAP partner (ISV, SI, etc.). Impact of SAP tuck-in purchase in one or more industries. Check regional/global availability of industry functionality. Check on the breadth and sophistication of industry functionality: Is what SAP offers sufficient for your current and likely future needs? If not, what kind of integrations are available into partner functionality? Does SAP have customer references that are: In your own industry or industries? Similar in size and geographic presence to your business? If not, assess SAP/partner willingness to work closely with you.
