All good points Melissa.
I think you are right, that the whole sector has slowed down, but
the basic technology of PSFT vs SAP , it's SAP that comes out ahead.
PSFT's technology is crap, with it's "dynamic" SQL, and it's ridiculously "chatty" network traffic..
Why is that important ?
Because you cannot deploy PeopleSoft SW over WAN's, as it brings them down ! 1 SQL Query, and it sends about 22 data requests to the server.
It's NOT rel client server, i.e. Client processing and EFFICIENT Backend processing. It's client dumbness and extremely INEFFICIENT
dynamic sorta-SQL queries, dynamically created, and NOT even stored for the next user who comes along !!
Ex: Give me a search for all employees in New York
User 1 sends query, query dynamically assembled (YECH!), and 22 data queries sent to server, executed by server and results sent back.
LOTS of TRAFFIC.
User 2, 5 minutes later comes along, asks the same thing. Since NOTHING is permanent with this dynamic crap, EVERYTHING is RECREATED.
Crap Technology
Crap Stock...
And the bird (i.e turkey) is is being roasted... <smile>
