SAP (SAP, $108.31) Is Snapping Up Qualtrics For $8 Billion

SAP announced Sunday that its is acquiring Qualtrics for $8 billion. Qualtrics, a survey software making firm, was planning its IPO not too long ago.

The all-cash deal, approved by both the companies’ boards, will be the second largest acquisition for enterprise software maker SAP, after its $8.3 billion purchase of Concur in 2014.

Qualtrics’s 9,000+ customers include Kellogg, Mastercard, Microsoft and BlackRock among others. One of its main competitors is SurveyMonkey. As of this year so far, Qualtrics seems to have an edge over SurveyMonkey in terms of revenue growth: In the first half of 2018, revenue of Qualtrics grew +41.7% to reach $184.2 million; in comparison, SurveyMonkey’s revenue grew +14%  to $121.2 million over the same period.

SAP buying Qualtrics is the latest on the list of major mergers & acquisitions this year witnessed in the tech/software space. A few weeks back, IBM announced plans to acquire open-source software maker Red Hat for $34 billion. Earlier this year, Microsoft purchased GitHub for $7.5 billion.
