YEs this is what exactly would happen..

Larry Elison of Oracle was quoted saying that " The Market is too small to 
have such large number of Players..So wait for more acquisitions in the 
year 2005/2006".

What will happen to all the existing customers? is a big question...

[BPCS-L] SSA-GT Financial Health






I saw something in the news that might interest folks on this discussion 
group.

BPCS is owned by SSA-GT and in the consolidating of the ERP vendor market, 

I think they will go from # 4 place to # 3 when Oracle swallows up People 
Soft & JD Edwards, I think the other front runner being SAP.  The thing to 

watch is what happens to the swallowed ERPs, like could BPCS be lost if GT 

was aquired by Oracle or Microsoft or?

For anyone who has an interest in BPCS sticking around for the long haul,

For them to be done with a quarter of 2005 they must be on quite a
