Flexibility. The JDEC execs claimed they were winning deals based on product flexibility. Yes, if the competition were SAP and the primary criteria were tailorability I'd vote for JDEC too. But not if the short list included PSFT and ORCL. JDEC is one of the POOREST relational database implementations I've ever seen. The only one worse is SAP and that is going to cost Plattner dearly. Good luck with R4. The vendors that actually spent the time devising a good logical data model and implementing it on a competent relational database (as opposed to SYBS) are light years ahead in terms of product flexibility. JDEC will realize this too late, as their UNIX customers languish while trying to customize, build interfaces, etc. JDEC doesn't have the BAPIs that SAP has. Not even close. Try and write an interface between your homegrown sales reporting system and JDEC. Maybe you will be able to complete it in your next lifetime. Good luck trying to knit their apps with ANY well designed relational apps. Been there. No chance. I'll take BAPIs any day. At least they are documented. Ask for the JDEC equivalent. Not there. ttf
