Sql Anywhere product road map

[former_member329524]

Hello, all

Our company is about to start a new large project soon.

Several DB providers are being evaluated, among them SAP SQL Anywhere.

Since this is going to be a product line for the next 15-20 years, we need to know if SAP has road map for SQL Anywhere.

The vagueness of SQL anywhere  future is currently the biggest drawback for us, since technically it is an excellent solution.

If anyone can point me to the product road map, it would very helpful.

Thank you

Arcady

Hi Arcady,

     As far as I know, SQL Anywhere is alive and well.  In addition to being offered as an product for sale to end users and OEMs, it is part of, or included with, many other SAP solutions.  For example, SQL Anywhere is included as part of Business Objects and the SAP Mobile Platform, and SQL Anywhere data synchronization (MobiLink) is currently in beta as a new offering for the Hana Cloud Platform.

There is a recent product roadmap for SQL Anywhere posted on SAP Service Marketplace, which you should be able to access if you have an account.

Development is continuing on SQL Anywhere and a new release is planned for this year (I don't believe a firm date has been announced yet).

Hopefully this information helps to address your concerns.  If not, please feel free to contact me directly if you have any further questions about the future of SQL Anywhere (firstname dot lastname at sap dot com).
