But it sounds like it is laying the groundwork for the ramp up to the next big B1 launch. McDermott advised listeners to "keep an eye on Business One with Hana in the cloud."

McDermott said the Americas region produced 20 percent growth in software revenue, 19 percent in constant currency, which helped offset a slump in EMEA stemming from the continued European economic problems. Revenue for the quarter was about $5.1 billion, up 16 percent from a year ago and 10 percent in constant currencies.
