Sage? Peoplesoft? Microsoft Dynamics? Oracle?

Sage ?

As Milan said, it's for big big big companies, not noddy outfits.

And remember that most companies which wish to implement SAP will go through a very long procurement process during which they will invite tenders from all and sundry and gauge the responses very carefully. The reason SAP wins is because it's the tool which does the job, not through marketing hype.

That's not to say that there aren't outfits running SAP which shouldn't be. I've come across a few myself, and these were public bodies who are happy to waste taxpayers' money.

I remember a cover from Freelance Informer in the late 90s, with a bunch of people licking a tree. The caption was - some contractors will do anything to say they've got SAP experience.

Thanks for the lecture re implementing ERP. The Sage option was included as a piss-take against Milan's assertion that SAP is the only option.

I have been contracting in the ERP arena for nearly 15 years so I have an idea how the procurement process works. Thanks though

I would still leave the part about .net and the full msdn certification. That's a win-win one.

Unless you're doing development, SAP is DULL with a capital D. Its only draw is money. And there are better ways to get that, even in the IT space...
