Claiming staff have left in huge numbers from Siebel, PeopleSoft and JD Edwards, McBride said SAP has gained plenty of talent from Oracle's long list of acquisitions.
"The SAP ecosystem has been greatly strengthened; we receive an inordinate number of resumes so we are picking up the inside truth," she said.
"When you acquire, one plus one never really equals two, and I think staff and customers have felt a bit lost."
It is in this environment that migrations to the SAP platform have "grown exponentially", McBride said, adding that the company has a "huge pipeline" of deals coming through under the Safe Passage program.
The program was introduced to provide a migration path for customers wishing to make the move to SAP.
