CORRECT (08/09):SAP Considering US Software Maker Buys -ReportLast update: 8/10/2009 10:52:40 AM("SAP Considering US Software Maker Acquisitions -Report," published August 9 at 1145 GMT, misspelled the name of Teradata in the first and fifth paragraphs. The correct version follows:) FRANKFURT (Dow Jones)--German software maker SAP AG (SAP) is considering the acquisition of U.S. software makers Tibco Software Inc. (TIBX) and Teradata Corp. (TDC), according to a report in weekly "Euro am Sonntag," citing sources familiar with the matter. The talks with Tibco are advanced but still open, according to the report. Tibco specializes in integrations software, or middleware, which connects systems offered by different software providers. Tibco presented its solutions to SAP at the end of 2008 and SAP initially favored a partnership with the company, according to sources cited in the report. A possible takeover is now favored, according to the report. Teradata, which provides data analysis software, may be of interest to SAP as it seeks additional acquisition opportunities, Euro am Sonntag writes. A spokesman for SAP wasn't immediately available for comment. Newspaper Web site: www.finanzen.de -Frankfurt Bureau, Dow Jones Newswires; 49-69-29725-500.
