Oracle vs SAP - Which way should you go?
Posted on January 16th, 2007
A lot of companies discuss the
differences between Oracle/Peoplesoft and SAP, when they go for any implementation. I feel there are two BIG ones:
1.
Superior Integration in SAP due to Organic build up vs acquisition strategy of Oracle.
2. SAP's vision for next 5-10
years is very tangible and clear - so reduced risk for a CIO vs Oracle with its stable full of various competing and myriad
products like Peoplesoft/Oracle/Siebel and no clear, well defined, strategy for a CIO of the next 5-10 years.

BI Tool Selection Process
Posted on March 28th, 2006
Here are some best practices for BI Tool selection. These are good pointers
here from Tim Furey - however, he has analyzed this important decision
from the BI silo only! In my view, that is a major problem with most of the decision making that goes
about in the industry today! BI is the HOTbed on which most of the future applications (assuming the company is still
running with OLTP but not much of OLAP environment in place).Â
COGNOS offers Powerpoint Support and Better Search within BI suite
Posted on March 28th, 2006
COGNOS and Hyperion are the main
players that give a tough fight to SAP in the BI/BPM space. In fact the competition from these two players prevents many
companies to take a decision - so much so that they go into a decision spiral. It would have been great if Oracle could buy
Hyperion - because then the field would be clear and the decisions one way or the other would be faster!!
It fairly
obvious that these two players will try and make their products more chic and cool as well as powerful since their entire
concentration is here... here COGNOS forges a strong tie in to the MSFT products - even powerpoint.. something that is likely
to go very well with the clients!

Eighteen months ago,
John Roberts, Clint Oram and Jacob Taylor decided to quit their jobs at Epiphany, a maker of customer-relationship software
Get your FREE Oracle Database Software Kit today!. The trio wanted to target the same market, but write a new application
developed using open-source code. It took them only three months to create the program and just another month to close their
first round of funding. Little more than a year later, their company, SugarCRM, has given away more than 325,000 copies of
its software, and raised a second round of capital, for a total of US$7.75 million.

Open source ERP systems ??
One of the
clients I know is very interested in open source solutions. Does anyone have any recommendations for an open source ERP
system (no or very cheap license requirements) ?
Would also appreciate any comments from experience with open source
ERP systems.
Perhaps, other SAP professionals may also be interested in this as this could even have a bearing on the
SAP market in the future.
