At a former workplace (which shall remain unnamed), I had _lots of fun_ trying to manage MFG/Pro, JD Edwards and Nexus…scratch that – even with sarcasm it was a complete Charlie Foxtrot :-P

The one glimmer of joy was when I discovered the ERP Graveyard (http://www.erpgraveyard.com/tombs.html) – it’s kinda interesting to see just how many products have entered this space. Almost exclusively, the marketing strategy for any ERP product is “grow big enough, fast enough that one of the big boys notices and decides to acquire us, then – PROFIT!” Except, when you don’t get noticed. Hence the graveyard :-)
