Perhaps you could educate me. You're telling me that companies go belly up because of their inability to establish an automated server based management system? I wasn't aware of this - I guess I've had my head buried in networking companies too long - where I might add I've not seen one company go "belly-up" in years. So, perhaps I'm out of touch. If you could please explain more to me I'd be grateful.

I should add that if SAP was that difficult to implement why would SAPHY do somethign about it...and why is that company doing so well?

Duplicate Dell
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...
It took Dell years to implement. Dell didn't just spring up in '93 with a great process. There is endless iteration after iteration of all procedures even now. What worked for Dell when it was smaller would not work today (and todays processes would be overkill for a smaller company). Which Dell do you think the other companies should copy? Last year's Dell, or tomorrows?
