Re: Hmmmm

True, these ERP systems are successfully implemented at literally thousands of firms. It does work. If there is an issue, it is generally unrealistic customer expectations... which are set by the consulting firm, not the software provider. Usually it is a case of the consulting firm, in competition with several other firms for the project, making claims about how their industry 'accelerators' will get it up and running in six months. They sue Oracle, or SAP, because they have the deep pockets... and usually lose as Oracle delivered the software as promised. The consultancy did not deliver as promised.
