"Shane, the second hypothesis I have about vendors replacing legacy systems is that it's possibly too late.... ie. if you've wait until 1999 to implement your new ERP system, then you won't get it before 2000. These systems are pretty tricky, and if your company is depending on it, it's not something you would want to rush."

You're right, large systems take a long time to replace. But one thing you have to remember is that large systems are neither purchased nor implemented in one block; they are usually done by phases--the pilot first, then one division, then the whole company etc. And the licensing usually works on a per-seat basis. So I would expect that we will be seeing Y2K income this year from contracts signed last year or the year before.
