More Quotes from Shai Agassi:
If a company puts in a solution in the market that makes other people fail, then we all fail as a community. This will be a model for enterprise services and how new ideas are proposed, developed and offered into in the market. It's an IP model to protect what you want to protect and one to protect everyone in the community, so you can't come after someone just because you gave them an idea for an enterprise service interface.Shai Agassi

Customers win when the ecosystem collaborates on a timely delivery of innovative technologies that solve deployment and integration issues. This architectural shift is happening now, and SAP is the only solution provider to bring together an enterprise-scale blueprint with ESA, an enabling platform in SAP NetWeaver, an available repository of more than 500 enterprise services, and now with Enterprise Services Community Process, a foundation of a collaborative process for building enterprise services.
