Companies deliberate mySAP ERP upgrades
Companies deliberate mySAP ERP upgrades: "Still, some company chief information officers (CIOs) aren't ready to make the move, according to Colin Masson, a research director at Boston-based AMR research. Masson leads a chemical and process research team covering IT developments in the chemical industry.
In a recent advisory to clients, Masson said company CIOs won't be convinced to upgrade until SAP does a better job of explaining the latest features and functionality that can be leveraged from mySAP ERP and NetWeaver.
'SAP must also prove that an integrated system from a single vendor is better and less expensive than R/3 with best-of-breed, third-party extensions,' according to Masson's AMR Alert to clients, 'CIO Dilemma, part 1, Harvest Value of SAP R/3 or Upgrade to mySAP ERP?'"
