English term or phrase: could have brought this XI in
Is it all the pieces, really, you may ask. There are two pieces that have separate prices. One is Master Data Management (MDM), which has an engine price, which comes in three volumes. It's like a T-shirt, in small, medium and large, depending on the number of objects you manage in MDM. The second piece is XI engine. You only have to pay for XI engine for integration with SAP and non-SAP. If you're doing integration of SAP to SAP instances, you don't need to pay for the XI engine. That's only if you are doing integration of SAP to non-SAP. But that's an important piece, right? Because most likely a user is going to have a non-SAP application when he buys SAP's application. But we didn't want to tax every user. So we could have brought this XI in, but then we'd have to raise the price for every user.

Explanation:
没有包括

这里的 "we could have brought this xi in" 是虚拟语气,说的是与现实不符的假设。直接按字面译出,可能不太复合中文的叙述习惯,中文读者理解有困难。可以考虑形式上反过来,意译为“因此,我们没有把 XI 包括到上述计价组合中去,因为那样一来所有用户都要付出较高的价格。”

或者加“如果”二字,来表达虚拟语气所表达的假设。简单地译为“如果我们把 XI 也包括进去,就得提高对所有用户的收费价格。”

Explanation:
XI = SAP Exchange Infrastructure SAP交换结构

在上周奥兰多的蓝宝石会议,SAP终于打破沉默,发布了它新的基础架构。

在这次发布上,SAP交换结构(SAP Exchange Infrastructure)、SAP网络应用服务器(SAP Web Application Server)和Web Dynpro组成了一个全面的平台,在这个平台上,SAP将要继续开发它的各种商业应用软件和门户提供。

SAP此次提供的不仅仅是一个支持它现有的ABAP的架构,还提供了对J2EE的支持。继Hasso Plattner在今年的JavaOne上的演讲之后,这次的发布是SAP长期战略的起点,它包含了更多的应用软件和基础架构。
