Google up SAP & Hersey Chocolate

Sap has very long and gory history in various installs.

I have never seen the product but I have read many horror
stories(true or not) about SAP and the many failures and lawsuits.

They even preloaded SAP on AS/400's at one point but I haven't
seen that in quite some time.(Joint venture with IBM)

My take on it is that it's a real bear to install and very few
folks are willing or able to handle the task. I have read about
installs taking several years and still not 100% at the end.

The term $$$$$$$$$ is always mentioned in these stories.

I "believe" it's written for several platforms including OS/400.

There was just a shocking, brief non-specific message sent out from
"Headquarters" about moving from our home-grown RPG (non free form, real
old school), to SAP sent out today.
