There's services revenue with SAP no matter the platform :-)

If SAP works the way Oracle does, they will train him and hire him :-)

Nah - in 5 years you'll still be updating the IBM i RPG while they continue to try to work on the now 200% over budget simple implementation of SAP! 

The really sad part is that SAP probably runs better on i than on AIX - but there aren't enough service revenues if you propose that. I with that I'll let this thread return to something like the topic.
