Thank you for your response. Our situation is pretty unique according to
SAP, and will require a good deal of customization according to SAP, so I
have no idea what we are going to do. It's just so hard to ignore the
blowups that have occurred in the past with SAP conversions. Unfortunately,
it is also hard to quantify them. I have heard of a pharmacuetical going
bankrupt, and several other companies with major problems. Hershey can't
deliver their Halloween candy? Coke is still having problems?
Everyone seems to indicate that customization is the culprit in each of
these cases, but SAP tells us we must customize.
It's enough to make a body nervous.
Kevin
