I used to implement ERP systems. I don't anymore.

SAP released new IFRS tax compliance features last year to match the latest government regulations; they then gave this is over 4000 customers for free. It cost SAP around 1.2 million EURO to build, test and roll out. Are you saying that those 4000 customers (companies) should have just built their own tax compliance finance systems? That would have cost 4000 * 1.2 million which would be a total economic spend of four billion eight hundred million... how about you put your ego on the shelf and listen to other people?

You're advocating building massive software applications over using what's already available and you're advocating that all companies do this... you completely ignored my argument and you have no idea what you're talking about. Just because you write crappy webapps in JS that doesn't mean you understand the software market at all.

"SQL doesn't"... you are correct, SQL can't figure out how much tax you need to pay across 9 tax jurisdictions. SQL can't tell me the best way for my warehouse picking robots to move across the floor based on the layout of the warehouse and what others products are being picked right this second plus over the next few minutes. The list is really endless of what SAP will do and SQL won't. It would take decades to replicate what SAP does.

Which SAP product did you compete with?

"SAP" isn't a product either, it's a company name. When certain people talk about SAP they actually mean R3 or ECC. R3 is dead and the sun is setting on ECC which is being replaced by S4/HANA (which some people will still call SAP). SAP has a lot of products and it's main products have a lot of modules so two people using "SAP" may not even recognise each others versions.

It would not surprise me if KP were using ECC for their finances or some other area the parent comment is not familiar with.

SO what ERP system are you using? What do you sell? How do you manufacture? How do you handle inventory and finances?

You're either using SAP and you don't know it or you're using Oracle.

EDIT: just looked at your linkedin profile. I can see that your company literally has SAP consultants working for them full time. I don't know which SAP products you are using but you definitely are an SAP customer.

Not a big fan of your comments but I really don't like the fact you're being censored.

But what about hanging around the water cooler so I can colab on some random ideas I overheard!!! my whole go to market and product strategy depends on this!!!!

Tell us more about Spain. I'm considering moving there from Australia as my wife loves Europe. I'm a principal architect in my 30's mainly doing Java / ecommerce / web and pre-sales. Does the weak economy make it hard to find well paid jobs compared to somewhere like London?

ANd your cheap chinese rip off cloth nappy will arrive which scratched yous kids skin to death.. I don't care about the cloth vs nappy - I am saying that you should care if you are receiving fakes.

Yes, the ability to hold enough pee without it leaking is something certain high quality nappies do far better than others. The ability to pull the moisture away from the skin as to reduce the chance of rash is done better by certain brands and I would hope the 'non-fakes' adhere to some sort of standard where the material doesn't affect the health of the skin as it's medically approved etc.

If your comment is correct, we could just wrap old tshirts around my babies arse.
