Could well be SAP just deployed by a different consultancy team, in fact it wouldn't surprise me.

You should never discount the inherited biases of senior management. So many times I've seen a company implement SAP because the C-level employee in change of a software appraisal stage used SAP before, it worked before and just assume it will blindly work now.

Microsoft Dynamics, AX, JD Edwards, Netsuite, Oracle ERP, Sage, Salesforce, Syspro, IFS ERP.

And a hundred other specialised systems which fit their niche markets. Not everyone needs a full stack ERP/FSM/CRM solution, their are almost as many players as variations in requirements.

I can answer number 2.

The closer you stick to "out the box" ERP the more chance you actually have of moving off of it in the future.

Any ERP consulting house worth their fee will know how to move customers from one standard ERP system to their own/another. The difficulties come when you heavily modify your ERP solution to fit your business rather then follow the advice given.

This is where the tender process and requirements will bog down, developers need to be hired or entire business processes need to be rediscovered and rewitten. Since an ERP move might only happen once every 10/15/20 years a lot of business will use the project as an opportunity to reshape business processes, removing a lot of legacy stuff which no longer makes sense.

I work for a competing ERP software house and this is the first bit of advice i give after introducing myself.

Customising an ERP can be interesting, keeping it supported and updateable 5/10 years after the guy who wrote the mods retired is a nightmare i've seen one too many times before.

Proven results will be enough to get the major ones through the next 20 years.

No one is strapping the James Webb or a similar payload on to a rocket with no proven reliability.

I imagine a couple hundred fruity lawyers are wording a cease and desist letter to perfection right now.

How you hold this stock is a mystery to me. With it bouncing between $10 and $15 constantly last year it just seems far to volatile. I'd be panic buying / selling every day to adjust which seems stressful...

Maybe why its a favorite of /r/wallstreetbets
