Gary, I have a question for you. You can answer in a pm if you want. Do you have any experience with any company that has attempted to implement a client/server database ERP package (most notably Sap) and the resulting hit (affect) on the business? I ask this because people that have gone though this generally understand that there are companies that spend YEARS trying to automate complex business processes and can't - and with the Dell model if you cant do this then you have no business. Sure it shouldnt be impossible to go live on Sap, but it IS for many companies isnt it? SUN has been trying to come up on Oracle apps for 5 YEARS!!! Why is that? If Sun tried to truly duplicate the Dell model tomorrow, there would be no way they could, for the same reason they cant come up on Oracle. (They probably dont have a clear automatable biz process is my guess, but Im not sure). I dont understand why you dont know this. Everybody has been moaning and groaning about ERP implementations for 4 years now. Some comapanies have gone out of business because of it. Michelle
