>>>-In theory, SAP and others may muscle into DSTM's space--maintenance tracking ain't rocket science. (But I think companies are getting burned out on the SAP-over-all strategy and going more for the best-of-breed, with a good interface to SAP. So it cuts both ways.).<<<< Wright, I'm getting the feeling that the requirements of inter-business connectivity (as opposed to intra-business connectivity) will increasingly work against SAP in these regards. With the growth of the internet, flexibility seems to be more at a premium. I guess it's becoming a requirement. Most comments I hear are that SAP's architecture simply isn't well suited to serve such a interconnected marketplace. Do you have a take on this? Shane
