Leading computer database software maker Oracle is suing SAP, the German company known for their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. Oracle, which has been moving into the ERP market themselves, accuses employees at SAP's TomorrowNow subsidiary of logging into their website and downloading 10,000 files in four days. TomorrowNow offers software support for products from several companies recently acquired by Oracle for half the price charged by Oracle for the same support. Oracle accuses SAP of using the downloaded files to gain an unfair advantage in taking away their customers for support and maintenance. An SAP spokesman said that they will not have a response until their lawyers have had time to study the suit.
