English term

in limbo

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) SAP
Because SAP lacks a comprehensive Hana roadmap, existing customers might find themselves in a superposition of their own. During the release change, customers have to pay licensing fees for both AnyDB (meaning IBM DB2, Oracle, or Microsoft SQl Server) and Hana. While the ERP system is being transformed, it is [in limbo] between AnyDB and Hana.

If you say that someone or something is in limbo, you mean that they are in a situation where they seem to be caught between two stages and it is unclear what will happen next.

in limbo

这个表达有两个意思如下,供您参考:
1
In a condition of oblivion or neglect,eg They kept her application in limbo for months.

2
An intermediate or transitional state, eg After his editor left the firm, his book was in limbo.

根据您的问题,觉得这里取第二个意义比较贴切,it is [in limbo] between AnyDB and Hana. 觉得可以尝试理解为:将在 AnyDB 和 Hana 两者之间选择一个,但还没有最后敲定。。
