SAP to acquire 3D visualization software co

SAP AG (SAP), the largest maker of business applications software, plans to acquire Right Hemisphere, which makes three-dimensional diagrams of products and processes, for an undisclosed amount.

Right Hemisphere, based in San Ramon, California, and Auckland makes software that lets customers create 3D models of product designs, manufacturing processes and assembly instructions, Walldorf, Germany-based SAP said in a statement.

SAP supplies applications that let companies manage their accounting and reporting procedures, track inventory levels and plan deliveries. Right Hemisphere's software would let SAP's customers see animated views of products to improve design, assembly and support, SAP said.

On Sept 2, a US judge in Oakland, California, threw out a $1.3 billion copyright-infringement verdict against the company in a case brought by its rival, Oracle Corp. A jury had awarded the damages to Oracle in November. US District Judge Phyllis Hamilton ruled that SAP should get a new trial for damages if Oracle rejects her decision to reduce the amount to $272 million.
