hey everyone, after reading this message base, i really want to jump into SAP, but i have a few more questions that have been pestering me.
here are some questions that maybe some kind-hearted soul can answer for me:

according to the website, SAP's strategy for growth is to expand the types and sizes of enterprises which can benefit from using R/3.
my questions are:
- Which types and sizes of enterprises does SAP look to expand into? - Are there any types and sizes of enterprises that have been saturated already by enterprise application software? For example have all of the huge multi-national companies already adopted R/3-type software?
- If the client base of huge corporations is gradually shrinking (which I don't know if it is), where do you guys think SAP will be seeking to expand to?

Also according to the website, "as the installed base grows and SAP's close relationship with its customers' business processes deepen, consulting and training revenues and profits will also expand."

- I had thought that consulting and training is something that happened before and also simultaneous to R/3 installation and implementation. Is that incorrect? How does the relationship between SAP and its client continue once the software is installed and the client knows how to operate it?

Thanks in advance to anyone who clears up my confusion!!
