But after those 5 years and 300 million dollars you'll be sure that you run
exactly the same software as your competitor and that your IT benefit will
be close to zero !

Guess they make the move because your old system is outdated (guess who's
fault is that, at least not the technology).

It won't matter soon**.

The company was just acquired by another multinational company and an
announcement was made this morning that all systems will be converted to
SAP.

** Using the word "soon" is perhaps a bit optimistic; I figure it will take
5 years and 300 million dollars worth of effort to make the transition from
JDE (both World and OneWorld) to SAP.
