I have used SAP. They have to fear OS alternatives.

I have used their products. What did I experience? They are too expensive, operate counter-intuitively, and are unsuitable for our purposes. Oracle's offering wasn't much better.

We're a Peoplesoft shop for now, until Oracle guts the product line. When they do, our management has mandated a "close scrutiny and evaluation of open source alternatives".

That sounds to me like OS is making inroads into areas traditionally help by over-priced, under-performing, software mega-corps like SAP.

By denying it's happening, SAP is denying itself a chance to respond to it before it is too late.

Their loss. I for one, as a past customer, won't be sad to see them go bankrupt.

Regards,
Jon
