"SAP Is terribly expensive but it can be configured to do nearly anything. I think it's over priced and over complicated, however, if you must run SAP in your enterprise, running it on iSeries is the only sane place to do so."
It should be noted that this customer has had parts running on i and parts on x and is currently installing another i to take over all remaining workload from 'x'.

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. 1. Does SAP run natively on OS400/V5R3? 2. Does it not in fact cost a few kajilliion dollars? 3. What is the licensing scheme (per site/seat/concurrent user, etc.)? 4. Does even maintenance/support in fact cost a few kajilliion dollars? 5. Does it run on DB2? 6. If we want customization, are we asking for a world of never endingpain & payment (in a cost range of a few kajilliion dollars)? 7. If we want customization, are upgrades a real bitch to pull off?8. For those of you who are current users, what is your satisfaction level (1 - Like dying & going to Hell, 10 - Like dying & going to Heaven)? 9. How did it affect your programming staff if say you migrated from a home-grown RPG system like ours to SAP? Did the conversion include early retirement offers and/or directions on how to leave the premises like a fire drill?
