What about SAP?

[milanbenes]

that's it roots, leave the new fangled to me

what you lot need to understand is that in the enterprise applications world where everything costs a fecking fortune and companies lose a fecking fortune when there are problems you will not earn any respect by trying to win work by discounting

they don't want cheap, they it it to be reassuringly expensive and to know when there's a problem it will be fixed hence the price

Do you think that anybody can learn SAP or you have to come from a specific technical background before you even go near it ?

SAP isn't difficult - it's just an application, like Excel or whatever. But bigger. Even during the boom years (pre-2000) it was not easy to get into.

Closed shop indeed. It's even difficult to move between modules.

That was close, I nearly bit and defended SAP !

But why would I do that when I now work in .Net

[scooterscot]

What precisely is a "background in experience"?

I've been experiencing stuff during every waking moment (and dream state) since I was born. Is that a sufficient "background in experience"?

Look for today's meeting I want you to answer all questions possible...
